Welcome abroad. Love the pix, 650's do great wheelies don't they.

Thanks! Yes, I rode my best wheelies on the 650. Like to slip the clutch at about 25mph, and she comes up nice and smooth. Could always get two gears sometimes three. Hopefully I can do the same with this one.

Here's what the guy I sold the Mach IV did with it. Guess it's a street legal flat tracker?

Out on the track...

Yeah baby... Right On!

Wasn't it just recent when it was mentioned a stock KZ couldn't pull wheelies easily... Looks to me like you had no problems accomplishing...

Welcome...

I couldn't just throttle it up. Learned on the KZ, by rolling 15-20mph, fully disengaging the clutch, rev to 5-6k, and dump the clutch. That was kind of a ball-buster, and came up too fast, and therefore not very controllable. But once I got the feel of slipping the clutch, it was a whole new world:)

I'm a little late, but I like your new 650, if mine had been in that condition when I got her I wouldn't be modding like crazy as I am now.

Thank you very much!!!

Nice! Welcome aboard and enjoy getting reacquainted with the '650.

As for pulling a wheelie, I'm here to tell that a stock KL250 will stand it right up on the taillight! :ohmy: :S :blush:

Nice pics and nice 650. You mentioned a triple in your opening post. Where is the two stroke pic? You must post or your next burnout will lead to tire pop. :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks. Here's the 750 triple I got for $150!

$150.00 bucks, damn why cant I get so lucky. Thanks for posting the two stroke pics that flat tracker is cool. I have a soft spot for the two strokes... here is a pic of my RD350
