The emulators worked awesome. What a huge difference being able to tune the forks. I was able to keep the front end planted. I was able to do stuff I wasn?t able to before. I?m really very pleased. I?m sure I have some fine tuning to do. I want to see how they do at peddler next weekend. I hope these cure all the bottoming.
Also I finally had to let go of the old Kawasaki bag. It was tearing pretty bad and I was afraid I?d start losing tools. I bought a Moose one and I like the quality. Comes with a rain cover. It?s a little bigger than I wanted but I can get both tubes in with a small tool kit so I?m happy.

Some video of novice riding by me. This is actually a forest service road so tags etc are mandatory.

I sold it shortly after this. I was starting to do more technical stuff and could only justify 1 bike at the time. Got a good couple of years out of it. My new KLX 300 fit the bill well. There are times I wish I had this bike back. It did many things well. I even had a chance to buy it back but 2 duals sports is overkill. And I'm sure my KLX is quicker, but doesn't have the legs to pull 70 mph all day like the 600 did. Oh well that's why I have a BMW.
