Most of my credit cards cover the insurance on a rented car, now I should go look to see if motorcycles are included (or other things like an RV). Have you looked? This might just be free.

I'm interested in a trail ride, but would be bringing a non-Chinese bike; sold mine and upgraded to a KTM 390 Adv.

Yeah, everything was cranked up, didn't really help. I did run with the aluminum OEM luggage all the time also. But no heavy mods (burrito tubes with a few light things).

Perhaps my shock was just bad, but the bike only had 13k when I sold it, and nearly all street riding. It was saggy and spongy. With me (210) plus the wife (115) it would bottom out easily even in...

Unless you change the rear shock, or you are a super light person with very little to carry, that will limit your riding and the abuse. It simply can't handle being ridden hard, it's crap.

Sprockets should be done too. Even if they look OK, my experience has been that the next chain will wear faster if you don't do sprockets. I've wasted more money this way than by doing it right.

For Sale: Tourfella saddlebag liners

These are brand new, only ever put into the bags to test fit, then I never ended up using them. I did use the top bag, and that was sold with the bike. I forgot I had the side bags.

How about...

Cam Chain Tensioner; on the bikes I've heard sounding like this, the CCT was bad/loose and letting the chain slap around.

I can't help on this specific motor as I've never had it apart. However I can say that I've heard a bike with a bad CCT a few times, and that sounds exactly like it.

I know, I've seen a case of them going after the ORIGINATOR because they thought the Chinese ripoff should be protected. He brought manufacturing back to the US pretty quickly.

I was thinking more that if we need to go back and get it, we could. It's a Rubicon Gladiator, easy to deal with the trail. Don't have someone who would want to drive along though.

I'm in the far NW area so not far, and have shop space/tools if needed. Oh, and a recovery vehicle if needed.
