G’Day, thinking of buying a KLR 650S. Are you concerned or planned to address the Thermobob and Do-Hicky issue of the KLR? Video review of KLR? Cheers Martin
Hi Martin, thanks for reaching out. I’m based on the Gold Coast, so it’s always warm here, so I don’t see the Thermobob being an issue for me. My research indicates it can be a problem in cooler places, but that’s about it. The Doohickey has such a low failure rate, I’m not going to worry about it until I have to open the engine for something else anyway, like valve clearances. I’m writing my 12 month review of the KLR now, but just need time to record it.

I have the same bike. Nice moto.
Thanks mate. I’m certainly happy with it, that’s for sure.
What's wrong with a milk crate.
Hahaha Gotcha!
Honestly, nothing. Personally I want something with a lockable lid. That’s all.
