If I had those LEDs on my KLR I would turn them on all the time they would be on during the day to keep idiots from pulling out in front of me. Just in case you really want to keep the bike for a long time you might want to get the doohickey mod "which is the counter balancer chain tensioner" and the thingama Bob mod "that's a thermostat modification to keep the bike running at a good temperature when you're in traffic". Kawasaki does know about the doohickey it doesn't seem to give a darn about it because not that many people put a lot of miles on these bikes believe it or not. They say the justification for them to do the modification just dont play out because of the warranty payout doesn't call for it. If you just do those two modifications and do your oil changes, and you know and keep up with the maintenance and of course don't ride it hard you could probably get over 100,000 Mi on this bike.

That truck looks good but you are going to need more than two screws to go the distance, especially if you get into some ruff terrain. Even if you have to drill some new holes I would get two more bolts in there. You could also just skip the mounting plate and bolt the box directly to the rack.

@@OurMagicalJourneyFL what booboo head is talking about is the KLR Doohickey and Thermobob (these are actual things, Google). The only reason anyone knows about these things is because everything else on a KLR lasts so long that it makes these two issues stand out. The Thermobob upgrade should be first if you want to keep the cylinder temperature consistent (always a good thing, and helps keep the KLR cylinder clearances tight over time). The other is replacing the Doohickey, which the Doohickey itself on the Gen 3 isn't the problem it used to be, but the Doohickey spring very much is, and the spring should be replaced before the bike hits 4k miles. Do those, and there are several examples of KLRs that got past 200k miles, and one that's close to 300k.

I enjoy Sea World San Diego. The whole company is transitioning to coasters, but I like this era where you can still see the orcas and also get some decent rides in. Aside from that, I love that the parking lot in San Diego is right next to the park, and it's so easy to go back to your car and duck out for a cheaper lunch. As with most non-Disney, non-Universal parks, you gotta go in with lowered expectations. The operations aren't going to be on the level of Disney. Somehow the food prices are more exorbitant than Disney. You have to learn how to enjoy it for what it is. With annual/season passes, you have to expect some bad days but with the knowledge you can always go back and try for a better day.

Even if you have to drill some new holes I would get two more bolts in there. You could also just skip the mounting plate and bolt the box directly to the rack. That’s what I ended up doing on my DR 650.
Yeah it's on there alright for just around town riding. I agree though, I may actually shop around for a 2nd top case, I kinda want something bigger. Seems kinda small the more I look at it haha
Enjoy!!! I hope you find a good top case (trunk).
Bummer... The KLR is an antiquated piece of crap. I have one and its's the worst bike I have owned in 50 years.. Get rid of it before it leaves you stranded...
Lol got that 5 year extended warranty just to be safe! So far so good
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL Well little that will do you when your in the sticks and the balance chain tensioner breaks and you have a catastrophic engine failure. Or the head warps because there is no thermostat.. Ect. ect.. Carry extra brake pads. I go through a set in a month. Take an extra 1/2 gal. of oil. Once its broken in it burns oil like a diesel truck...
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL None of that happened to dude here. Its the most reliable motorcycle in the world, its track record speaks for itself despite what Bro on Internet says. Iv had 2 in the past, 48,000 miles combined on the two and zero problems never did any of the so called "must do" mod's and I rode them hard.
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL what booboo head is talking about is the KLR Doohickey and Thermobob (these are actual things, Google). The only reason anyone knows about these things is because everything else on a KLR lasts so long that it makes these two issues stand out. The Thermobob upgrade should be first if you want to keep the cylinder temperature consistent (always a good thing, and helps keep the KLR cylinder clearances tight over time). The other is replacing the Doohickey, which the Doohickey itself on the Gen 3 isn't the problem it used to be, but the Doohickey spring very much is, and the spring should be replaced before the bike hits 4k miles. Do those, and there are several examples of KLRs that got past 200k miles, and one that's close to 300k.
and its hella pimped out already love it !
The led lights and USB package was definitely a nice addition!
Hi, you forgot to put the name of the phone holder ;)
Totally fell asleep after uploading this and forgot to! Lol, I'll add it now. Thanks for reminding me!
I hope to make that my third bike this fall. I am not a kawasaki fan, but already own 2, as they make the bikes I like and can afford. Not sure if it will be the KLR or I also want to get the Honda Trail 125. I will see what life brings. Congrats buddy, you will love that bike I am sure if you did the homework on it.
I was worried about the sorta high seat height, but at 6ft tall, I can keep my feet flat on the ground with no issue. Plenty of speed for highway riding too
Good video n good info. Thanks bro
No problem 👍
IMO Test Track SUCKS! It is a poor replacement for World of Motion. But thank you for the vid!
I'm glad we both got to experience that back in the day! Old Epcot was definitely the best!
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL We can't bring back WoM tho. So I believe there is potential for the Test Track format, going forward.
I enjoy Sea World San Diego. The whole company is transitioning to coasters, but I like this era where you can still see the orcas and also get some decent rides in. Aside from that, I love that the parking lot in San Diego is right next to the park, and it's so easy to go back to your car and duck out for a cheaper lunch. As with most non-Disney, non-Universal parks, you gotta go in with lowered expectations. The operations aren't going to be on the level of Disney. Somehow the food prices are more exorbitant than Disney. You have to learn how to enjoy it for what it is. With annual/season passes, you have to expect some bad days but with the knowledge you can always go back and try for a better day.
Oh for sure! We'll definitely go back and film another day there
I remember when this ride used to be called Countdown to Extinction.
Yes!
What trim position did you find worked best for your motor on the seamax? Thanks
I kept it on the 2nd hole. Seemed to plane out fine
My wife is from the midwest. She moved to my home on the east coast. One of the things she learned from the east coast besides how to pick a crab is how to make and keep your own personal space. She refers to it as elbows out, as in when an impolite person is waking towards you on a sidewalk and doesn't give room to pass, you set your shoulder and elbow and keep your space.
We will have to try this! Lol
❤
Nooooo my favorite ride whyyyyy
We are very sad it's going away 😢
I hate to be a “hater” but i dont think you came on a great day. I think you chose a weekend with bad weather and a big crowd. I never had issues when i go!
It may have been that way. I went with a buddy a week or so after this and I agree it was way better. But their prices though.. Still not a fan of that haha
@OurMagicalJourneyFL that makes sense
I hated that ride! We all wanted off. It jerked us around and started to get motion sickness and it was too much
Haha it's definitely the most intense ride at the park!
must be nice to have all of that money to waste at Disney as two grown adults
It's a blast for sure!
Adults can still go to theme parks 🤷
That's right! Plus we have money now to go all the time. Who has money to spend at Disney as a kid? Lol
Can't see a thing.
I saw another video of this ride and it was the same thing. this ride just seems super dark
It's a very dark ride. Even with low light settings on both my GoPro 12 and S23+, it looks this way.
Correct, sadly a very dark ride that is, of course, way better in person.
Because it's a dark ride? 💀
How come you sold the amazon inflatable? Hows the seamax coming along? Thanks
I go through boats, just a hobby. Keep them for a bit, enjoy them and sell them. Selling the Seamax currently
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL what's replacing seamax? How was the seamax? Thanks
Honestly not sure yet. We may aim for a small travel trailer eventually and skip out on boating for a bit. Haven't decided.
Completely agree. I was given a free single day ticket to SeaWorld last year and when I left I was glad I didn't pay for that.
Lol glad someone else felt our pain!
What hp and weight is your motor?
15hp Tohatsu. I want to say it's around 110-120lbs. Not too sure
Comment
May the fourth be with you!
