Cool. I bought my 2015 with 300kms on it, so about 80 miles more than yours.

Just bought a almost new 2015 yesterday. It only had 105 miles on it. Not one scratch on it. Guy bought it and put it in the garage. Got it for $3300. with a new battery. It has a 49 tooth sprocket on it. Needs a 42. Drained the fuel out of the carb, filled the tank and blasted around the area. Is it too soon to change the oil?

Today I put a Shinko 241 on the front and a Trailway Cafe Shield (Jimbo shield). Hurricane like conditions, so no test ride yet.

Okeover!

Nice little tour of the Okeover Peninsula today. Tla’amin Nation

Tla'amin Beach

Okeover Wharf

Sarah Point

Pretty awesome view from here.

The mountains in the far background are the ones I play in!

 

[NorthernSpy]

8oz of RideOn in the Shinko 241, adjusted the clutch cable (again), greased the swing arm, and removed all of the safety stickers with a heat gun.

New front and rear (w/ Rotopax mount) Manracks, and a Marmot Tungsten 2 P tent to strap to them.

Washed her up after the mud fests the last few days and put on a IMS 313114 shifter. Amazingly better shifting (better "feel") on the cold test ride. Who woulda thunk a piece of metal would make such a difference. Do it the same time you change foot pegs, would be my advice.

I am retiring this year and I hope to wear the tires of my truck and my TW.

I like this goal.

Not “today” but some recent shenanigans

Not my edit or music choice on the vid linked below haha! I was the driver in the surf tow stunt, have taken my share of high speed tumbles so let the young guys have the fun ��

Gotta be the best bike all around ever. Handles deep sand like a tank! The road and trails in the canyon (Waimea) are worth alone a visit to Kauai and renting an enduro bike. If you do please hit me up would love to show you around and take you to some secret spots

Last shot was from an epic swell on the North Shore at a very fickle but very good break ��

LandCruisers and TWs are soulmates, I swear.

Bought some TCX Drifter boots yesterday. Looking forward to trying them out today.

 

[NorthernSpy]

Not much. Pressure washed. Adjusted the shift lever up one spline to fit my new boots better. Put some Nikwax on the boots. And rode!

 

[NorthernSpy]

Away at work for the week, but still managed to buy some jets for the TW and the Super Sherpa from Partzilla. Looking to get rid of the horrible cold start on the SS.

Put in the kick starter I had for months, heavy duty EBC clutch springs and adjusted the clutch. Fresh Yamalube and the clutch feels so, so, much better.

Neoprene gasket instead of pressed fibre was stock for the case cover in this 2015. I used it again as it was in perfect condition. Don't normally do that, but it really was pristine.

Harder to get the damn plastic off of the EBC clutch tool...

Oh yeah. The kick starter works just fine. Easy to kick over.

 

[NorthernSpy]

What year is your bike. How was the install for the EBC clutch springs?

2015. Simple to do when you have the right side case cover off. 4 small bolts. All you need is an inch-lb torque wrench and a 9mm socket.

Adjusting the clutch I think helped quite a bit too.

After a longish ride this morning I finally installed the e-bay Chinese shorty levers for clutch and brake. Really like the 2 clutch lever. Not so sure about the Non-adjustable brake lever. Should be nice for off road as I found the original levers too far away to 2 finger. Either way, now i have a set of spares. Grey chrome color matches the tank.

Started the bike every time today with the kick starter.

 

[NorthernSpy]

Got a link to those levers?

E bay link is dead. But I bought "clutch brake lever for WR250F"

 

[NorthernSpy]

Apolloha,
I know you asked for a link to what he was showing but, I thought I'd link you to the ones I just installed on my T-Dub. They fit flawlessly. The adjustability works outstanding. It took me only minutes to install them and, you can adjust them on the fly, it that's your plan. And, I think the looks are great too. Plus, they're a bit on the short side too which, lots of guys are leaning towards. See what you think.

The problem I had after getting a pair just like these is that there is no adjustment screw on the brake lever. My brake light stayed on because the tab was way too long.

That's what is missing on the ones I installed as well. Although the brake light works fine.

Got a smokin' good clearance deal on some Rev'It Sand 3 pants that (kind of) match my Sand 2 jacket. Thanks Dualsport Plus! Ready for Fall, Winter and Spring now. Downside is that I look like I should be riding a R1200GS...

Put a new LED headlight bulb in... its very bright...

View attachment 199890

Which bulb did you go with?

Finally got around to putting on the inevitable grocery getting milk crate, with the socially apropos Corona cooler insert. It just thumbscrew attaches to the Manracks rack, so I can easily de-dork it

Looking more and more like a KLR everyday.
