I enjoyed the footage of your ride. I’ve tweaked my back so I have to take it easy. This ride looks a little similar to some of the logging roads we have in Canada. Some of the older roads are so eroded they are very challenging.
Thanks mate. I’m glad you liked the video. I bet there is amazing adv riding to be had in Mexico. I spent a few weeks in Barra De Navidad a few years ago and would have loved to have explored on two wheels.
Is the neutral thing related to pegs/shifter gap? I did Nice CNC pegs which required that I change the shifter position. Later when I bought Enduro style boots I bought a Tusk shifter (longer) but that was because of the boot not the pegs.
Hey Ben how you liking the NiceCNC foot pegs us KLR’ers really don’t need to spend $300 on pegs eh! Do the rip your soles up a bit they look quite aggressive … thanks for all your great info 😊👍
Hi mate, thanks for reaching out. I’m really enjoying the foot pegs. They don’t seem to be too harsh on the soles of my shoes, but to be fair, my shoes were fairly worn when I started! I’m due for a new pair soon so will let you know more when so can.
I'd be looking at the steering head bearings before fitting a fork brace. The klr did have a batch of poorly manufactured and fitted head bearings. Pull the front apart and see if there's any notchyness in the movement. Re grease refitt and re tension to spec. The second thing I'd inspect is the rear shock. That can cause more front end issues than most think. A worn shock or even linkages or bushes can cause enough play to induce a weave.
All good ideas there. I haven't had any problems with low speed steering, which is where I think a lot of the people were complaining there was a problem. I've also replaced the entire rear shock assesmbly with aftermarket gear, so it's only done maybe 4k kms. But I'll definitely have a look at it.
@adventurebikesaustralia7627 merci de m'avoir répondu ... 👍😁 Je me renseigne actuellement pour importer cette moto klr 💚 650 en France qui semble toujours distribuer en France 🇨🇵 !?
Just don’t buy the heavy pig. Remember the KLX 650 well it was much better than the KLR how did the KLR become so popular just because it had a large tank 😂
@@jackwhite2422 Good point about the KLX, but there must be more than a few things going for the KLR, coz the KLX is extinct, and the KLR is still here nearly 40 years later.

Good video....I've noticed some movement on the highway....I might try the fork brace if it does make a difference 🙂
Thanks mate - I’m happy to hear you liked the video.
My sample size - 1 ride - can’t be considered definitive, but it definitely felt better.
@@adventurebikesaustralia7627 well I just ordered one, as it can't make it any worse.
@@johnrovere2286 Hahahaha fair enough. Did you go with the NiceCNC?
@@adventurebikesaustralia7627 yes I did....I think they are made in China 🤔
@@johnrovere2286 They are, yes. Did you happen to use the affiliate link in the description by any chance?
Greetings,
As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲
Keep producing more videos about the KLR
@@rosarioroberto5823 Thanks mate. I’m glad you liked it. Is there anything in particular you’d like to see a video about?
I’ve never seen a more perfect road for the KLR.
I know, right? It really was a great day out.
Thank you for this video! I bought a 2023 KLR 650 Adventure last month and have passed 1200 miles already. Subbed.
Thanks mate. Glad you liked it. And congrats by on your purchase. Let me know if you have any ideas for a vid!
@@adventurebikesaustralia7627 yes indeed! An Iron Butt Association ride! 1000miles in 24hrs. 😆😆😆
Sorry, we only do Km in Australia! 🤣🤣🤣
@@adventurebikesaustralia7627 AH HA! Then the saddle sore 1600kms ride! Or even the “BUN Burner” 2500kms ride! 🤣😂😆
@@Ghostrider-71 Hahahahaha

Sorry to hear about your back, but happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Is a KLR your regular ride?
Buenos arreglos! Me suena a que los voy a poner ! Que buena ruta ! Triple B ! Buena bonita y bien divertida! Saludos desde Mexico

I think it’s the combo of the pegs and my boots. When I switch back to factory pegs and sneakers for commuting, there’s no problem.
@adventurebikesaustralia7627 shifter is splined so you can adjust it
@@BMRTV I’ll check it out.

I hear those glass sight glass for the oil filter leak and also break just what I’ve heard
Yes, the first generation had some problems. The one I have is the revised design.

How ur fork clamps go
Really good so far. Had a run on the motorway last week and it was rock solid.
It’s probably all sorted but your shifting issue is the new pegs are setting your foot differently. I had the same issues until I changed my shifter …
Interesting. Definitely possible, as I hadn’t experienced before swapping the pegs. Do I need a longer shifter?
@@adventurebikesaustralia7627 that’s what I did. It worked out for me, I wear a size 11 boot (41-42 euro).
@@adventurebikesaustralia7627 that’s what I did. SW Motech …
@@timlubbers2884 how much u pay for ur pegs
Would be a nice mod to have a heel toe shifter. Rules 4 thru 6 zip ties, 8 thru 10 is duct tape!
Hahahaha I might steal that for a future video!
Bonjour 🙋 klr 💚 savez-vous si l'on peut importer le Kawasaki klr 650 en France 🇨🇵 🗼
Merci 🙋 de me répondre ... 👍 😅
@@sergeLM-v4p Hello, and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I do not know if you can import a KLR to France. Sorry.

Toujours pas distribuer en France 🇨🇵 klr 650 Kawasaki
Merci 🙋😁 cordialement
I had a Quick Look at Google, and I don’t think the KLR is available in the EU.
Did the fork brace improve the handling?
Sure did mate. Check out the video from 52:08 onwards.
