I rode my KLR650 a 133 miles.

Up WY Hwy28 to nearly the Continental Divide west of Atlantic City/South Pass City. Altitude near 8000 ft. Not very much snow along side the highway, yet. Turned around at the highway rest area near Sweetwater River. And then proceeded to take the county dirt road, thru South Pass City/Atlantic City and back down off the mountain. Then took a couple local farm roads to round out my afternoon.

Rinsed the mud off the bike before rolling it back into the shop.

Not bad for late November in the Rocky Mountains, eh. Temp in Lander, 55-60f. Temp on top, 40ish.

Not today, but Sunday.

Got out for the last ride of the season, 6C with sunny breaks. Did about 130Kms, then came home, changed the oil, lubed the chain, pulled the battery, and removed the air filter for cleaning.

Then watched the bike tip over onto the open pan of used oil. The right side is duly protected from corrosion for the winter.

Final Prep.



Is that the new Camo look?

Installed a Thermobob 2 and temp overlay on my ‘16.

Shipping was 3 days. Install went without a hitch. Instructions are very good.
The temp gauge overlay is a nice touch.

Sure is a pleasure to buy and install a quality product that’s U.S. based.

Put about 70 miles on it yesterday. Temp seems to stay steady about 190 degrees with the thermobob with typical increase when stopped. Outside temp was a nice 70 degrees or so. Going down the long grades the temp used to go lower even at much higher outside air temps. Seems like a worthwhile mod so far.
Cold weather rides needed but not wishing for colder weather ;)

Upgrades..

I added the stock KLR bags (top and panniers), changed the stock tires to Continue Escapes, added new doubletake ram mount mirrors and finally....getting ready to add custom dynamics flashing rear brake light.
Love the wide array of accessories!
