[QUOTE="mudwalker, post: 573522, member: 40621"] I agree with the notion that you don't need a large displacement heavy bike to have some fun. I'm still enjoying the heck out of my 99 KLR250. Inexpensive, reliable and good on or off road, not great buy good. Hey, fun is fun when the day is over. Riche, what is the problem with water cooling, if its maintenance, the only thing I've done is look at the expansion tank water level, it's always just where it's supposed to be. As far as e-start, the KLR 250 turns over easy, no jumping required, just one leg, right or left will do. I used to have a Bultaco Matador, the preferred starting position was stand next to bike while holding bars and kick from there, this technique works well on the KLR 250. Just my 2 cents but I'd stay away from the larger DS bikes until you get back into the sport for at least one season. Remember collecting bikes is half the fun. I'm afraid you may overwhelm the power of SS, but more importantly the suspension will be stressed to its limits ie NO JUMPING! I have the settings for my KLR maxed out and I use all of it in the dirt and I'm 165 lbs. [/QUOTE]
