I agree Brother Spud!

Plus I know you have more right wrist self control than I do. Witness the rate I go through tires... 8O I just spent another $100 for a new 606 for the back of the KLX... :roll:

Seriously!

The lack of electric starter is one of the main reasons I am going to sell the KDX 220.

My next dirt bike will have 'The Button' also. The YZ is a first kick proposition, but sometimes I don't have the energy to spare! Also sometimes I'm up to my ankles in a rocky creek, or clinging to the side of a steep and rocky hillside... 8O

The KLX is E-Start and I sure do appreciate it.

Excellent bike beautiful scenery. Front light looks really cool, I wonder is it powerful enough? Fantastic job designing your licence bracket.

Thank you, Pliskin. The headlight uses a 35/35W H6M bulb. The winter weather is cold, so I haven't had a chance to test the headlight at night. However, if the headlight is not bright enough, I have several options. I can buy a brighter, PIAA bulb for $9.99.

Also, I can convert the stock headlight to an H4 bulb, or I can install a Baja Designs headlight.

FWIW, I really liked the Baja Designs headlight on the BRP.

Thank you, Zingshoen.

I wanted a lightweight bike with more horsepower to fill the gap between my Zong and my XR650L. When I found this bike for a great price on Craigslist, I jumped at the opportunity. The Undisputed King of Craigslist (FastDoc) taught me an important principle. When you see a great deal, jump on it quickly! The great deals usually disappear in 24 hours. 8O
