Once we got to the main dirt road, I hightailed it back to the trucks. As I pulled up to the trucks, I realized the back brakes were not grabbing like they do. I stopped and noticed oil pouring out... plug was gone, lost about a liter of oil right there. Picking up drain plug this week and hopefully did no damage. threads look ok, looks like it just vibrated out. 1000 kms on new 2013. Love the bike so far overall, but in hindsight I'm thinking a KTM 500 would have been a smarter buy, but alot more money.

She says it is not fair for me to ride and her to have to worry if she is going to be a widow whenever I leave. I also have to admit I could have easily been killed or paralyzed in this accident. It was very painful too, laying there with my leg destroyed. <br /><br />As for the 685cc kit, go for it. I wrote the pictorial install for Schnitz, which should make it pretty easy. You will be glad you did it.

I have to top it up every second day and finish a 5litre can in 2 months. I was looking at the 685 kit for the same reasons... it stops the oil burning... Now I am not so sure.

My Vino is still my first and only two wheeler and continues to be a joy to ride in the slow lane. For all its worth - your input help me decide to keep my interest on staying with a smaller commuter.<br /><br />I have been an avid road cyclist for 15 years and keeping the rubber down on a 17 pound road bike traveling 45mph downhill can be you know dangerous.<br /><br />Good wishes to you and a new beginning for a family..and God speed on the healing process. <br /><br />PhilPvinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308490838368942367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8280647763123280178.post-32699290104728984972010-02-06T13:32:14.577-06:002010-02-06T13:32:14.577-06:00Glad to see this post.

Then Kaw. said a quart in 500 miles is normal for that bike. On my own, had the cyl bored and installed new Kaw. piston and rings, 0.50 over. It's worse now. Tried the Schnitz kit, but the larger-than-stock wrist pin wouldn't fit into the rod journal. Schnitz was good enough to refund my money. They're a great bunch. So, still looking for a fix.

At leas..."My new KLR650 is an oil-burner"<br />At least you have oil to burn. My first ride on new 09 KLR650 oil drain plug falls out, seizing up the engine. Now Coleman Powersports have gotten together with Kawasaki to not honor the waranty, because there are a couple of scratches on the skid plate (which to Kaw's discredit comes nowhere close to protecting the engine or bolt). However, the is not a scratch on engine near the bolt, nor any damage to the thread.

I like the 08 F650gs but dislike the price...I I definitely like the new Honda Deauville headed for the U.S. as the NT700V price the same as the BMW but more comfortable for road.

I will stick with the local roads on my Vino and adventure out too those greater excursions on a bigger bike. I enjoy STN and their blogs; great information on a utilitarian bike and and all those fantastic pictures. I also carry a small OLD DSLR, first generation Canon EOS, on all my rides - often I get stares from other drivers seeing a camera hanging around my neck as I ride around. <br />I had the pleasure on riding one FJR1300, fantastic touring bike and a great "E" ticket ride - in reality the FJR is way too big for me - being at 5-7 and 155lbs; too much bike to handle.Pvinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308490838368942367noreply@blogger.com
