Kawasaki KLR 650 Common Questions & Answers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2017
- I answer basic questions about the Kawasaki KLR 650 Dual Sport/ADV Motorcycle, including: Is the KLR 650 powerful enough for me off road? How is the KLR650 on the highway? Should I buy a KLR 650, a DR 650, or a DRZ 400? And finally, is the KLR 650 a good beginner motorcycle? I answer that final question in this video: • Re: "The Kawasaki KLR ...

KLR is always the right answer. It's probably the most cost effective and versatile dual sport available.
This was one of the main videos that helped me make the decision for a KLR, over all the rest of the motorcycles out there. I have had it for 3 years now. It has been amazing on the road. I am just now getting as good as these riders in this video, off road. And I just finished an hour and a half ride in 50 degree rain and it did great there too. I was suffering, but the bike did amazing, from 10mph on the trails, and 75mph on the highway home in the rain.
In case this helps any of your viewers, (because these were the questions I had, 3 years ago):
I am 39years old.
I drove a harley for 11 years and this was my first off road bike ever.
I am 6 ft and was 285lbs and now 225lbs
It handled me while I was fat and now... that I am.... not as fat.
That includes highway speed and tight trails.
I put a 12 dollar Plano box on the back and still love it.
The only upgrade I have made is the KLR Dash and it is amazing on the highway and looks
awesome everywhere.
I use the RAM phone mounts and it has never dropped my phone.
I have dropped my bike 4 to 6 times (off road) and my phone has never moved
I get 38mpg at 70mph which is about 5000 to 5300rpms
I get 45 to 48 mpg if I am in 5th and going 55mph for long periods of time
I just fill up before 200 miles on the tank and have never run out of gas.
The stock rear tire sucked on and off road. It had no traction off road, and it wore down very fast in the first year of driving. I upgraded to a Mitas E-07 130/80B17 for the
rear Anakeeroad. I can do everything in this video and they still look new after 2 years of driving on both of them.
I look forward to getting some panniers but am scared that I am going to get them caught on a tree or stump while trail riding so haven't done it yet.
I hope this helps someone out there.
This video helped me and I would love to know I helped the guy that helped me find a dream motorcycle for myself and my family. My wife ended up getting a DR650 after I got this and I owe it all to Everide ADV, and (Swanky Cat.) Thanks so much!
Looking forward to seeing your racing drone videos!
ps: the DR650 is more powerful on the trails and will smoke my bike all day, but it is very wobbly in the back end at highway speeds. There is no windshield that suits it and I feel it looks better off road than on. It is an amazing bike but it is not as good all around as the KLR. But if you are serious about the DR650 it still handled me at my height and weights over the 3 years she has owned it. I feel as though I fit better "inside" the KLR where I felt as though I was more "on top" of the DR650. So where that is a downfall on the road it is a plus off road because it's center of gravity is much lower and way easier to wield as your skills improve.
Well this got a little winded.
Thanks again!
Thanks for taking the time to write this, your insight and experience has helped me in my decision on what bike would best suit my riding style.
Own the KLR650 for Adventure and the KLR250 for single track. Less than $2500 invested total. With a KTM1190 or BMW R1200GS that money wont cover the repairs when you lay it down. Not even sure if it would cover the Gold Plated Oil Change and scheduled maintenance at the BMW Dealer? Yes, there are better bikes out there but....KLR = Adventure Biking for the Average Joe without screwing up the family budget.
Well my wife and I both ride the DR650 because we like it better with no fairing and the added ability off road. Picked up both bikes for under $2100 each and the rest is history. That's basically when we started following you and have been along for the ride ever since 😀 No matter what you ride as long as it has 2 wheels it will move your soul and keep your spirits high! Best anti depressant we know of. Thanks Tyler for your contribution to this amazing community!
Oh man. I was following Tyler all this time because I thought my bike was a KLR650 too! But I just looked at my oil filter cover and it says 'suzuki'. Oh man, my life has just turned upside down!
Thank you. This video answered my main questions about the KLR as a still non-rider that is looking into a motorcycle to commute and who has always enjoyed road trips.
Brilliant video. You've answered all my questions about this bike- and some that I hadn't thought asking. The video on your clip is really first rate. Great to watch,! Thankyou
Simply breath taking! Love the quality of your chan-chan! You rule!
Thanks for a solid experience, start to finish.
I must have this KLR. You described it perfectly in my setting: longer rides and farm roads. Sounds lovely to me
Well thought out video there Tyman. I got my KLR new in 07, and 33k miles latter it is still my go to bike. I ride single track trails up American fork canyon, and have done multi day 2400 mile trips down the west coast all on the same bike. Still makes smile every time I throw a leg over the ole KLR.
Hey bro, excellent video! You're in my top 5 for content. Keep up the outstanding topics and be safe!
The KLR is a super fun bike, I Love it, and So is the DRZ, I really love that bike as well. I so agree, locations that a person lives is a bigger help on deciding, just like you talked about recently in one of your videos, a lot of us end up being weekend warriors more so than overland or round the world travelers, so knowing how far you have to ride to get to dirt, may make a difference between a lot of the bikes.
Great video my friend. thanks for sharing and I hope you have a blessed week.
Hope you are still getting well, I know it is a long process, prayers your way my friend.
Good stuff (as usual), Tyler!! A reasonable, level headed review THAT addresses the strength and weaknesses of the Mighty Pig.
I love my KLR. i love that it is absolutely mediocre. I got it for under $2000 and have put more then 30,000 km on it and its still running. I've never had a problem blasting down the highway or hitting off roads. yeah its not ideal for crazy high climbs but it will crawl around well enough.
I bought my 09 klr650 last year and have not regretted it. I'm a big guy and it gets me around just fine. Absolutely love it!!!
I have a DR650 and absolutely love it, but I'd probably love a KLR too! Thanks the vid Tyler!
That was a very comprehensive review of the bike by an expert rider. Thanks for sharing!
excellent review and advice. I'll never have an opportunity to ride these three machines so its nice to hear how my DRZ compares to the other two, thanks.
Loved my KLR! First bike and great for learning! Replaced it with a Vstrom 1000 for my wife and I, much more comfortable. If I lived closer to trails I probably wouldn't have replaced it. Love the Vstrom, already created AMAZING memories 2-up and that's what really matters.
Great video man! I'm a big fan of the KLR too!
Nice comparison of the different bikes, and I always enjoy your vids. Heal well, and quickly!! ATB!
Good information man. I put 230ish miles on the DRZ on a ride. The stock 400e gearing got a bit buzzy on the long sections but up in the mountains it was fantastic. I got that itch for a bike that is capable off road and on road that I could really rack up some miles....like 1k in a weekend and not feel numb from engine vibration on Monday when I get back to work. I feel a bigger adv bike is coming to my channel!
I just passed 2000 miles on my 2017 KLR650. Loving every minute of it 😁
Your voice sounds similar to Fort Nine. You both have great presentation production, video aspects are spot on & VERY informative without an obnoxious musical overture. Just right.
I have a KLR 650 (I know...so what) but I've made it more of a street commuter than off-road. Would love to see how it handles with knobbies instead of my street tires.
Now this is the right kind of review. Well done
I think you've done a great job of explaining how it depends on where you ride and that's why you're so popular. After giving it some thought I really think it's how Brent fills out his riding pants. Stay safe
#1 selling dual sport year after year after year for a reason. Love the KLR.
klr owner and this info is spot on, my only issue is weight in the dirt, however weight on road is good, so in a nut shell the klr is a compromise no matter where you ride it.
Had a KLR600 loved it for the commute to work
Making sure that snake still got its meal was cool af of you
XR 650R with a few mods is my choice Everide has a great video on it too! But you gotta love the old KLR.
I've ridden and owned all that you have mentioned and agree with everything you've said as always. Biggest difference between DR650 and KLR 650 from what I have noticed.. ( stock ) KLR 650 - more wind protection, better range, better seat, the famous KLR chug DR650 - It can wheelie, lower center of gravity , a bit lighter and more flickable ( and easier to pick up ) , aimed more at offroad (it's a bush pig though ).. To sum it up : KLR 650 = 60/40 on/off , DR650 = 50/50 on/off.. What I own now? DR650 with a big bore stroker kit. If you plan to use your bike as a adventure bike ( long trips, etc ) bike I'd get a KLR ( that fairing, big stock tank, and wide poofy seat are nice ) You cannot lose by going either way. As far as the DRZ400 goes, I love mine, it will never leave my garage ( except to get dirty )
Excellent and entertaining vid Tyler - as per usual.
You are so correct (and I have read more than a few say the same thing) - the KLR makes you a better dirt rider - for exactly those reasons you mentioned. ( plus a few others when you're an old feller like me :) ) Riding the stock tyres and trying to get through every type of terrain sure teaches you bike control !! I'm sure a lot of aspiring KLR650 riders get themselves into trouble by trying to turn the bike into something it's not meant to be/do; and then unjustly label it a POS.
Hope you are learning to manage your health issue mate. Been a long time sufferer myself - you can't fix it - but you can learn to manage and live with it. Whenever your feeling down, remember this - there are literally billions who don't even know where their next meal or drink of fresh water is coming from; or whether they will be shot, murdered, tortured or unjustly persecuted !!!!
thank you for continuing to entertain the (KLR650) troops
be good
cheers from Australia

I have an 08 with a stage 2 dyno jet kit and I opened up the airbox. Added a lexx slip on and a 16tooth front sprocket. This combination really woke up the big girl! Also added progressive fork springs. 30,000 miles later this bike has been as reliable as a hammer! I love my klr
100% agree on the answers! Great video!
When I was first looking at getting a motorcycle it was a close competition between the klr650 and the drz400. I'm very glad that I chose the drz because I value off road performance more then on road. Both are great bikes for sure
You're thinking of buying a KLR? well, you've already wasted too much time considering it! BUY ONE RIGHT NOW!! Everide's review of the KLR not only inspired me to buy one, but I had never ridden anything at all before! So, solely based on Tyler's sheer passion for this bike, and his amazing looking video, I went out and bought a motorbike, had it delivered, then spent a weekend learning how to ride it. and now, with more than 20 000kms on the clock, I still get the same thrill hearing that big heavy engine idle that I got the first time I heard it. Lets see...uh...hmm... something bad about this bike would be...uh... that it doesnt have a fuel gauge? or...um... that you have to remember to check the oil? pfft!! Who am I kidding!? I love my big gorgeous boy! Hurry up and buy one before you waste more time thinking about it and lose precious riding time!
Nice Tyler :) I love my KLR and the modding that goes along with it to make it truly your own. I'm having a blast and low cost left me a nice mod budget :) Cheers!
KLR is the Jeep Wrangler of the dual sport world. Endless mod options. I enjoy your vids.
Exactly, endless :) Glad you enjoy them. I'm having fun. Cheers.
I have the 2014NE and my buddy has a 2013 in the suspension there is a huge difference. Anything on the 2014 and up the front forks have a 40% stiffer springs and 27% firmer rebound. And on my rear (even loaded down with camping gear) I have never bottomed out. The new is 63% stiffer spring and 83% firmer rebound. What I am getting at is the newer ones you really dont have to do anything with the suspension. - Great Video - Long Live the KLR650
exactly my findings - and I'm 250lbs in my birthday suit
I love my 14.5 KLR650! Best bike I've ever owned! I agree on all points Tyler, great video!
Stay Swanky! Keep posting your KLR vids.
Aww yeah! Haha will do!
I bought my 2015 -KLR because of Tyler's "I hate the KLR" video and have fallen in deeeep thumpy love. I live in the Houston, TX area in which there is ZERO real off-road action, BUT, as a commuter and tour-er this bike has given me everything i could ever ask of it and then some. It takes me and the girlfriend anywhere we want to go and after a couple comfort modifications it recently took me on my first 1000 mile camping road trip. I cant say this is the last bike ill ever own but I can say this is the first bike I've ever really LOVED owning. I've owned, in order, Rebel250 - Shadow1100 - Ninja250 - SV650 - KLR650.
I'm in Houston too. Got mine setup as a long distance adventure machine. Heading out to Terlingua ghost town in October.
best bike ever , the most under rated , the swiss army knife of bikes,ive done nearly 50000kms on my 2015, everything from hwy commuting to bush ,rainforests,and exploring the back country dirt roads, never failed me
I also had a similar experience starting on a bigger bike (DR650). Making for a better Offroad rider on a smaller bike DRZ400.
even a few DR shout outs lol. Great vid.
Like the logo man!
93,500+ mi. on my 2nd KLR650 with no major issues. I can explore without worries. The cheaper I keep it the sooner I can retire and continue to expand my range. I'm considering a larger ADV bike for long hauls but I'll always have a KLR in the stall. Just too fun.
nice drone work on the vid (apart from the low exposure shots mixed in).
the klr is so ugly though and sooo heavy. still loving the klx330 (bored out and with replacment aftermarket performance ecu... and 2 sets or rims... it really does everything and takes me everywhere from super knarly single track dirt day trips to 1 month dual sport adveture trips to tight on toad twisties in the mountains nearby)
The KLR is a hands down great bike. I've seen KLR's do things I had no idea they could do here on Colorado trails. While personally it's not "my style" I still have lots of respect for them and their owners. Also, after riding yours I know why they buy them.
The KLR is my dream bike, thanks for this exelent video! cheers from Bolivia!
Tyler. Way to stay relevant. Keep it up brother.
The KLR 650 is still the best motorcycle for everything in one package. 👊👊🎯🎯
I have an 07 klr685 and I love it no matter how much hate it receives from the bigger adv bike owners.
Don't get me wrong, I love the BMW gs bikes and the new Honda Africa twin. But my bike was 1600 gently used and has about 1500 in after market parts I've put on it. cheap to own and has never let me down on trails or otherwise. I'll upgrade when I can afford it. But I'm in no hurry.
great review tried a dr but it didn t seem as comfortable and the smaller fuel tank made it a no sale but is more suited for off road than the klr
4:40 lol that mirror is just hangin out there. Just got a set of Doubleback mirrors because of this exact issue.
Dirt bike magazine recently said some "hardcore" dual sports are being tested in Japan right now and we might see some before the end of this year. It would be nice if there were more variety to choose from .
Alright now lets see the Isuzu do a hill climb! :)
Personally I am more of a DR650 guy vs the KLR. I'd be happy to see more footage of them if you get the opportunity.
I appreciate your your channel and your videos! I just bought a KLR and am new dual sports/adventure riding (though I've ridden motorcycles and mountain bikes for years, figure I'm just combining 2 of my favorite hobbies). I'm not exactly mechanically inclined but am realizing that not having the ability to some basic fixes might be big trouble if I'm out in the middle of nowhere. Can you tell me what are the top most-likely problems I might encounter in the back country?
Thanks
nice vid!
Hope you are starting to feel better!
can anyone wheelie a KLR ty? i remember trying once and the front didn't budge... plu my arms have been two inches longer ever since. :(
Yes. You can. Rather easily. There must have been something wrong with your bike.
Woah, I got the chance to respond to Cross Training's comment!
I own an 87 KLR 650 and I must say that it lifts the front end up in the air pretty easily. It can even power wheelie in 3rd gear but you need to be standing and really pull with your whole body, as you are teaching. Though, halfway through writing this I realised that your comment was probably ironical as I know how much you like the DR! Jumping that pig on the track and landing it without the bike coming apart got me really impressed! Ride on!
Kind regards from Serbia
I love the way the GPS etc are set up on this KLR. What kind of mounts are they using?
Awesome shot of the snake!
First determine the style of riding you wish to do, then select a bike based on that. For me it meant a klr 👍🏼
Good video +++
Hey man, what modifications did you do on the suspension? I just bought one but it is to low and hits everything.
Thank you
Love my KLR. Ride her to work everyday I can. 20 to 100 miles for work and great for playing on the weekend. She's ugly to some but a beauty to me!
Thanks for the video
Do you think the new klr would be better of Rd now that the frame is More rigid and Ofcouse upbringing the shocks
Tyler, look what you've started! lol. By the way, Klrs are awesome
I love my pig, and this channel has a lot to do with why I chose it.
yup, its the goldie locks for me ;)
Anybody know about a front fairing I can install instead if stock? I wanna get lynx r fairing but it's pricey. Any ideas?
这个涂装真的太好看了
Nothing is perfect for everything dual sport. Tight single track rewards smaller, lighter but beats you up on the tarmac. I'm testing out a 2003 KTM 640 ADV which has its own shortcomings (maintenance intervals, buzzy engine) but supposed to be a very worthy light-mid weight ADV rig. We'll see. Thanks for a great reminder of why we make choices based on our own preferences and skills, Tyler. Get well soon!
wish you would give your opinion of the versysx 300
Excelente moto la klr650 es lo maximo en motos doble proposito
Question: I have a CR 250 which I enjoy riding in the desert and the woods (Phoenix and Northern AZ). I'm thinking about a KLR because I would have something dual purpose, but what's the transition from the CR to the KLR in the dirt and rocks going to be like? Also, I'm looking at a 2008, 8k miles, $3200. Is that too much? The bike appears to be in excellent condition.
everide maybe you can help me, iv recentely thought about selling my klr for a brand new drz with an sm trim and buying some s wheels for when i want to hit trails. am i goofing and should just stick with my klr?
Is this down near Green River Utah? Looks like a great place to get some dirt.
Bang for your buck is the pigs biggest attraction.
You can buy two or even three of em for the cost of other bikes.
4:33 respect
have to get pre 2007 klr to get more suspension travel and ground clearance, i think
Spot on about the KLR imo, well done video. :)
Hey! What about the wee-strom? Not a single mention? You tested it a while back and you liked it...a lot! Ok so it's nowhere near the capable KLR but you have to consider it.
Attention to anyone looking to buy a big bore: Look into this KLR650, the DRZ400S and the DR650...but don't forget about the XR's! The XR650L, XR600R and all the smaller XR's are great first-bike choices in regards to ruggedness and reliability.
Paid 1600 for my nice gen 1. Love the low end torque for soft Florida sand.
Great footage. I'm sick and tired of the gopro only that basically shows nothing at all.
The only thing that's not good on the KLR is how damn heavy it is. But I totally agree that it's forcing me to be a better rider while learning because I seriously do not want to try to pick the fucker up (which I literally cannot do). The thing is super easy to work on, cheap and reliable. Other than it tending to run warm at lower speeds I have so much fun riding it around town. People think they're ugly pigs, but I think it's beautiful, lol. (Gen 1 KLRs are beautiful, I HATE the Ninja fairings on the gen 2)
Agreed the klr for the price is the best and its less than 500 to get a decent off road setup for those of us over 250lbs
Long distances and reliability is what attracts me to this bike. Yeah you can buy a better bike with a much larger price tag but I'd rather drop a KLR than an expensive adventure rig. I can afford to fix it and it'll get me home.
what about a used ktm 950, it weighs about the same as a klr. The only negative being its fuel mileage, it gets about 35-38 mpg but does have pretty large 5.8 gal tank.
The KLR is great.... Until the bike falls on a bad incline and no one is there but you to have to pick it up. I live in Northern Utah, not the desert landscapes of southern Utah like is shown in this video.I sold my KLR and got me a lighter dual sport and have never looked back. Lots of fun riding up and and down the northern mountains of Utah.
Hey y’all. Anyone have trouble with a pop or backfire after letting off the gas? Saw in a different KLR vid comment section that the nuts on the exhaust at the head can come loose. Checked. I had one missing.
Fixed that.
Does the KLR "drink" a lot of oil? Some reviewers say so.
klr 650 is better than honda xl600? for commute and highway use.
If I am 5`6 should I get a klr 650 or a himilayan
is it easy to liftup klr650 bike when you drop it alone?
I love my drz but i would rather have me a suzuki double r and a drz400, but the klr does what it needs too
What tires did you have in during this video?
Which is a better bike for an around the world trip??
I bought an '06 KLR with only 3200 miles a couple of years ago. It was completely stock and I began to farkle it. I sold it last Sept. and bought an AT. I have 2 questions: Why does Kawasaki refuse to acknowledge the oil consumption problem AND why should I have to replace the cam chain tensioner on a brand new bike? Kawasaki has demonstrated their lack of attention to detail. I find the KLR fairly unreliable at best unless you are willing to put time and money into it. I also disagree that it is acceptable at highway speeds. Stay safe and good luck with your adventures!
Is it dangerous that the klr doesn't have ABS brakes?
