Kawasaki KLR description
Having researched all the duel-purpose motorcycles out there before I purchased my KLR and found the KLR650 was the best all around.
It is the most comfortable, durable, and cost effective for almost everyone. If money is no object then another bike might be out there more suited for you.
This is a great 80% road / 20% dirt bike that can do almost anything. It can be ridden comfortably all day on paved or gravel roads without an issue.
Only thing is if a lot of dirt or rough roads are going to be traveled the heavier weight of this bike might wear you out a little. With that being said, anything
negative about this bike is far and few between, coming mostly down to preference or maybe dedication to a certain manufacture. I've ridden Suzuki all my life and
rarely looked at the other brands, ridden a few but never would consider a purchase. The KLR compared to a Suzuki DR is night and day. The DR is a little dirt bike
with lights on it to make it street legal, like comparing a KLR to a BMW, you could buy 2 KLRs for the price of one BMW. To each his own.
I have new tires pictured with the bike, just didn't have time to put on yet, should be done before the bike is sold.
I also had the gas tank painted black to make it look better than the stock silver color.
Listed are options I put on to make road trips more enjoyable. All included with the purchase.
-Schnitz Racing 705cc piston kit:
$550 for parts only + $400 labor and assembly = more front end lifting torque & no more oil burning like the stock engine.
Oxford Heated hand grips:
$90 grip kit - (4-heat levels, not just on/off)
Cortech side and tail bags:
$360 for the set- can be unzipped and the sides expand out to be able to fit more items. Nice soft bags, easier to put on and remove than hard-side units.
ICon magnetic tank bag:
$80 - nice size and place to put items that need to be accessed easily.
Crash cage and skid plate:
$385 for both items - to help protect the engine and body while off-roading or a wipe-out.
Mini auxiliary lights:
$90 for the pair - not the brightest ones out there but are definitely better than the single stock headlamp.
K&N air filter:
$40 - easier to clean than the stock filter.
Mini- dash w/ 12v power, USB charger ports and time/temp/volt gauge:
$35 - nice unit with usable info right in front of you.
Big Gun slip-on Exhaust:
$375 - Always liked the 4-stroke sounding thumpers. Pulled off and put the stock exhaust back on to ride legally in some National Forests.
DynoJet carb jet kit:
$50 - was able to tune the bike after the new parts added.
Brained brake lines:
$60 - installed on the front and rear for better brake feel and durability.
Extended windshield:
$85 - for better wind protection and less fatigue at highway speeds.
KTM smaller front fender:
$40 - cuts down on head shake at higher speeds over the stock one, plus to looks cool! Have the stock one to go with the bike also.
Mini side mirrors:
$30 - they work just as well as stock but look a whole lot better.
Handlebar weatherproof GPS mount:
$20 - works great to keep the map near you, GPS unit not included.
Doohickey mod:
A internet search for this will show is an internal motor mod done to help with engine failure.
Plus a service manual for any and all repairs.
I'm the second owner of this 2008 KLR 650, not able to ride it the way I planned to anymore, my loss is your gain.
Thanks for looking!

Tue, 20 Mar 2012The 2012 Daytona 200 delivered another fairy-tale finish with underdog privateer Joey Pascarella and the Project 1 Atlanta team fending off a pack of three other racers to win by a slim 0.048 second margin. Competing in just his first Daytona 200, 19-year-old Pascarella from Victorville, Calif., held the lead for 41 out of 57 laps to finish first ahead of a last year’s winner Jason DiSalvo while Cameron Beaubier squeezed by 2010 Daytona Sportbike Champion Martin Cardenas in a photo-finish to take third. For the Project 1 Atlanta team, the win marked a dramatic turnaround from a let down in 2011.
