getting close to 2 years of owning the Yamaha SCR950
have a little under 7000 miles on it as of now, rear tire will need to be replaced soon...
also bought that Kawasaki KLR650 that I've been really enjoying,
everything you look for as far as accessories... you have so many different sources (Tusk / Dirtracks / SW-Motech / Givi / Happy-Trail) etc....
I keep getting ideas about selling the SCR950 and having only the KLR
then I take the SCR for a long ride and I really enjoy it, and back off the idea of selling
sometimes I think about parting it out...
but not sure of how reasonable would that be specially having to ship items with different weights / sizes / volumes !!!
other times I think about changing the tires to a road / highway type of a tire that would have a better traction on the road than the stock one
are the tires really a game changer?? coz I can swear that I feel I'm riding a totally different bike after installing the Corbin Seat
I've done 200+ miles on that bike in one day, and it's not tiring
the main 2 negative parts about the bike, is mainly how scary it is when cross wind hits, while on the KLR, I never have this problem... even though it's a taller and lighter bike
second, is the handlebars wobble when decelerating.. which I know that I gotta change the stem bearings (not sure if I'm able to do it myself) and definitely won't pay somebody a fortune to do it
I'm just trying to brainstorm with you guys since we have the same type of a bike, maybe I can get some of your opinions / experiences
anyone else gets the same type of ideas??
