A customer recently sent me an e-mail that he had received his new KLR650 shock
spring and absolutely loved it. He added a PS saying that he would never, ever buy
anything from one particular vendor because of how he markets his s___ by corrupting
forums. The customer had gone to a KLR Forum and tried to request feedback on
using the Top Gun shock spring. To his surprise the request was yanked from the site.
This really pissed him off and he let them know and was immediately banned from the
site.
Makes me wonder what was behind the site not wanting to put out a simple question
about a product that other KLR owners may have tried. I thought information was a
large part of what these sites did? Maybe they were afraid that the answers would be
too positive. I wonder if they do the same for other product questions? Or is it more of
a personal thing?
All I can tell you is that “any” questions whether positive or negative about our products
will be answered without malice. In fact, if we “ever” receive a negative remark, it will get
our full attention.
I don’t fully trust any information I read on the Internet and neither should you until you
know some facts about the person(s) putting out that information. If you want to know
anything about the information given out on Top Gun and our 3/4 of a million miles of
motorcycle experience on KLR650s or DR650s – just ask. If I was a new KLR650 owner
and I read all the stuff on Top Gun, my first thought would be, “what makes them such
experts”. You won’t know til you ask us.
Best KLR650 Product
When a person is planning to or has already purchased a KLR650 of any year, they
often have researched KLR websites to see what changes and upgrades are available
or needed. After all, we can’t just ride around on a completely stock motorcycle. In the
case of the KLR650 there are a number things that need to be addressed to make the
bike better and safer. Where do we start?
