Great bike! I have a 22 w/thermo bob done at 323 miles and t-rex center stand when first bought new. Once i got used to raising it onto the center stand, i really like it
Congrats on the new bike. I love my Gen2 and have tons of mods on it. Oh, and it's great to see a fellow Michigander (I'm in the White Lake area). In any case, you may want to consider a Seat Concepts seat at some point (after the crash bars, bark busters etc). Not sure if the seat has been updated on the Gen3s but the stock seat on the Gen2 was brutal (for me at least). Also, I'm really glad I added the JNS Engineering foot peg lowering brackets. They really made a difference for me. Oh, and handlebar risers helped me a lot for standing. The handlebar risers and the lowered foot pegs really make standing on the bike easier or much more comfortable. I could go on and on about modding the KLR :) Maybe we will run into each other out there (I ride in the same areas, ie, Dexter) Have fun!
Appreciate that and hi neighbor. I am searching for some decent places to ride and learning one road at a time. Any suggestions and sounds good on running into each other
8:23 I recently went from “not knobby” tires to knobby tires. What a difference it has made in my confidence off pavement! Not that I’m going to suddenly be a better rider, but confidence is a huge part of getting comfortable when the pavement ends…. I look forward to seeing the great you’ll be wearing
3 good addons!...I just put a front crash bar setup on the CRF250 Rally...I did front and rear suspension as well...suspension was a huge upgrade for off highway!...great video...stay safe...ride safe!!😎🤙👍🤙👍🇨🇦
Nice to follow along as you learn about this part of the sport. I have a base 23 KLR in gray and I love it. I just traded in my '09 KLR model for the new one. Add ons you might consider are heated grips and hand guards. I live in an area where you can ride all year if you wish although the winter months are rather cool. The heated grips allow me to use lighter weight gloves making operating the controls a bit easier and not as awkward. I fitted Oxford Adventure grips and Tusk hand guards. A low profile drain plug is worth the 10 bucks. Good luck and I will be watching.
@@bodeanaventures The Tusk two mounting point hand guards seem like a rather good value compared to other brands, (Barkbuster) and they look good with the silver and red highlights. They have fortunately not been battle tested but should do their job if needed. The original wind guards are fine but offer no protection in the event of a tip over.
Just put on the first 100 miles this weekend on my Traveler (same color) 😉 Farkles I will add: Same Tusk engine cases and foot pegs Tusk luggage upgraded suspension louder horn Corbin seat (maybe) Leo Vince slip-on exhaust de-snorkel ECU flash (when available) 60/40 tires (not sure which) bar risers Thermabob driving lights windshield riser real hand/lever guards Eagle Mike Doohicky before warranty runs out.
I just started adv riding the past month and one thing I’d upgrade soon is your tires, I have the same D605 on my klx and they suck in the soft Michigan sand. Did 300 mile trip this weekend here in west MI and the sand made me take two dirt naps. The front tire washes out way to easily.
@@bodeanaventures Oh yeah! Iv been doing the jeep thing for a long time, running the same trail systems for years got pretty stale. Now doing it all on a bike brings back that excitement and challenge!
Hello and good day I recently saw one of your short videos that showed that you added the JNS foot peg lowering mounts. My question is did you have any issues with the rear brake pedal alignment,rear brake light switch etc and if so what did you do to fix it? Thanks in advance and I appreciate your videos. Have a great day and ride safe.
Im just doing pegs, windscreen riser, and bar risers to mine. Tires.....meh. Im coming from single track riding I just want to put on miles and go places for a change LOL.

Center stands are so nice

Feel pretty good so far….appreciate you brother
I love the center stands. How was the spring? That's generally the hardest part. KLR is looking good. Such a great choice. Ride safe my friend!
Thanks and it is awesome, spring came on
Good starting point. Like @Motoramblings mentioned get some bark busters.
Some options there for sure
3 good addons!...I just put a front crash bar setup on the CRF250 Rally...I did front and rear suspension as well...suspension was a huge upgrade for off highway!...great video...stay safe...ride safe!!😎🤙👍🤙👍🇨🇦
Thanks brother…..having fun
Some clever mods Bob. looking forward to seeing you deck out your riding kit. Safe travels 😎👍
Thanks Bert, appreciate you
The center stand is the only thing I am looking to do. Skid plates, crash bars and bark busters are a must.
Everyone likes the bark busters it seems, you like them? The center stand is so nice
@@bodeanaventures yes. They save your knuckles, levers and less importantly your fingers.
3:11 the crash bars look great! I like that look….
Yeah I waited on these
Enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing
Appreciate that Carlos

Appreciate that Tom and your suggestions. Ordered the drain plug for sure and how do you like the Tusk guards? Ride safe!

Farkles I will add:

louder horn
Corbin seat (maybe)
Leo Vince slip-on exhaust
de-snorkel
ECU flash (when available)
60/40 tires (not sure which)
bar risers
Thermabob
driving lights
windshield riser
real hand/lever guards
Eagle Mike Doohicky before warranty runs out.
Sounds like good choices and I do like the Tusk crash bars a lot
6:37 protect those levers!! You don’t want to snap one of those if (when) you drop it…..
Yep, I recently put on the bark busters. I’m shocked I didn’t break them before.
For sure….just deciding which
Apache case from Harbour Freight
Heard of them
Hey Bob, how are your Harleys taking your buying accessories for the KLR? ;-)
Seem agitated 😂

Nice video, I would say if you’re gonna be doing some off-road adventures maybe get one of those low profile oil plugs.
Totally agree, plan to do that during first oil change. Thanks Jimmy!

Appreciate that and good day to you as well. I did not have any problems at all with any of the pedal alignment putting these on.
Im just doing pegs, windscreen riser, and bar risers to mine. Tires.....meh. Im coming from single track riding I just want to put on miles and go places for a change LOL.
Nice…..my new pegs causing issues getting my big foot under shift lever
Get a slim line oil drain bolt.
Good suggestion and I did grab one because that first service coming.
