I just bought one also. The ability to go off road...a jeep with 2 wheels. And load it up with camp supplies.

How’s it feel at 75-80 mph? Is it as buzzy as the other ones?

@kennethreynolds8 not OP but i have a 2023 klr 650s new and just hit about 2500 miles. It's fine at the 75 to 80mph range. I'd say you could ride all day at that speed just check your oil and depending on your riding switching to a 16 tooth front sprocket helps out the top end I hear. I'm mostly a city rider and need to do 80 to keep up with freeway traffic. Bit buzzy but never scary. Out of town long distance I pick a lane a cruise at about 70 with almost no buzz. Using almost stock everything and the dampeners in the handlebar and footpeg are noticeable. Plan to add bar riser, higher windshield, try the 16 tooth, crash bars, and pannier bags. Right bow I do have a milk crate ziptied to the back plate 😂

Check your valves early because I promise your exhaust valves will be out of spec.

Thermostat bypass to keep cylinder head at a more constant temperature, ( especially in colder weather)

I bought one of these in the same colour. Do you know where you can buy a center stand that fits this bike? I bought an adjustable one for regular KLR’s but it is too tall.

Doesn’t the shortened height in the rear mess with the geometry off-road?

@pearson935 2 ай бұрын

They reduced the front travel by 1 inch or so as well to keep it geometrically sound.

What I dont like about kawasaki is that they boast about having shorter seats as if it was something good. Do they think whe are all midgets? Who is going to make a motorcycle for normal height men? (6 feet+)

@seafooddiablo5686 Жыл бұрын

Im 6ft as well but tall guys cam ride short bikes ive seen tall guys on honda groms but short folk cannot ride tall bikes as its unsafe. Id say the klr 650 needed to be shortened as it could barely flat foot it and the average height in the US for men is 5 ft 9 in

@Wile_E._Wolf 10 ай бұрын

I'm 5'11" and ride a KLR. I can just get both balls of my feet on the ground at max suspension height and flat. Flat foot I can get one foot flat, the KLR isn't a short bike, especially considering ADV bikes typically have shorter seat heights because the increased weight and off-road riding
