D-Sport Adventure Test Ride | First KLR Ride of The Year!

2 years ago

Testing out the new Tusk D-Sport Adventure tires on my gen3 2022 Kawasaki KLR 650!

UPDATE: Now that it's warmer outside and the tires loosened up a bit they feel fairly unsafe on the road. The front wanders on the highway and can cause a bit of a death wobble. After increasing the pressure in both too 28 psi (bike recommends 21) they are much more well behaved but still aren't something you want to rail corners on.
