I hope to make that my third bike this fall. I am not a kawasaki fan, but already own 2, as they make the bikes I like and can afford. Not sure if it will be the KLR or I also want to get the Honda Trail 125. I will see what life brings. Congrats buddy, you will love that bike I am sure if you did the homework on it.
I was worried about the sorta high seat height, but at 6ft tall, I can keep my feet flat on the ground with no issue. Plenty of speed for highway riding too
Bummer... The KLR is an antiquated piece of crap. I have one and its's the worst bike I have owned in 50 years.. Get rid of it before it leaves you stranded...
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL Well little that will do you when your in the sticks and the balance chain tensioner breaks and you have a catastrophic engine failure. Or the head warps because there is no thermostat.. Ect. ect.. Carry extra brake pads. I go through a set in a month. Take an extra 1/2 gal. of oil. Once its broken in it burns oil like a diesel truck...
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL None of that happened to dude here. Its the most reliable motorcycle in the world, its track record speaks for itself despite what Bro on Internet says. Iv had 2 in the past, 48,000 miles combined on the two and zero problems never did any of the so called "must do" mod's and I rode them hard.
@@OurMagicalJourneyFL what booboo head is talking about is the KLR Doohickey and Thermobob (these are actual things, Google). The only reason anyone knows about these things is because everything else on a KLR lasts so long that it makes these two issues stand out. The Thermobob upgrade should be first if you want to keep the cylinder temperature consistent (always a good thing, and helps keep the KLR cylinder clearances tight over time). The other is replacing the Doohickey, which the Doohickey itself on the Gen 3 isn't the problem it used to be, but the Doohickey spring very much is, and the spring should be replaced before the bike hits 4k miles. Do those, and there are several examples of KLRs that got past 200k miles, and one that's close to 300k.
Nice one enjoy
Picking up a 2023 KLR 650 adventure w/ABS next week. New owner, new rider.
Hope you love it!
my future bike, congratulations! this one looks amazing! Greetings from Venezuela!
Thank you very much!
Bought the same model 2 months ago. Really like liking it. I put on the quad lock and bought the Tusk Olympus tank bag large.
Oh nice! I'm thinking about getting the Tusk saddlebags
Enjoy!!! I hope you find a good top case (trunk).
