Just a maintenance update

I've been fiddling a bit with my KLR, and I thought it would be good to log some maintenance. After the 685 installation, I have now ridden about 3200 kms into the break-in. I'm almost ready for synthetic oil, and the engine is performing very well. I managed to squeeze 16000 kms out of the rear michelin anakee, and the stock dunlop front(!?!), - I had these tires on my old KLR. Now, at 15357 on the odometer, I have installed Avon "gripsters, and flushed the brake fluid. I'm anxious to see the overall performance of these tires; not sure they'll last like the michelin, but they were very cheap (yay) and they seem well suited to my style of riding.
