Author Message   Roc Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 04:49 pm:        Well I think I want a KLR. What do I look for, look out for? Certian years better than others? Thank you   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 08:05 pm:        KLR's have remained relatively unchanged over the years. I would suggest a trip over to www.advrider.com. People swear by them, and have logged mucho miles on them. Kawasaki has a long history of looooong model runs....Concours, EX500, EX250, KDX200, KLR, ZZR etc   Pupu Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 09:45 pm:        a guy at work has one. it is one big bike. i guess if you were gonna be on the freeway alot but seems to big or heavy to really have any fun on ( in a dual sport way ). but i know another guy who rode all around the world on one, was a very good, reliable bike.   Court Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 09:52 pm:        The KLR and the GS are the most "around the worlded" bikes in history for a damn good reason. It's an EXCELLENT bike. It has it's quirks but they are a great utility bike.   Bombero Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 09:54 pm:        Try www.thumpertalk.com I had a 'Zook DRZ400S and I found a bunch of good info there - it's a very active and knowledgeable board.   Bake Posted on Wednesday, September 06, 2006 - 10:16 pm:        I have an older model (93 I think) sems to be a good bike   12r Posted on Thursday, September 07, 2006 - 04:10 am:        I used to have a KLR600 hack bike and although the cosmetic quality was so bad it would literally deteriorate overnight at the slightest hint of moisture, it ran and ran and ran and ran and ran and ran and ran...indestructable - just built to ride. Recommended.   Court Posted on Thursday, September 07, 2006 - 09:23 am:        I had my front forks upgraded, did the Braking front rotor, added some super sticky street tires, some fancy electronics for entertainment and a set of strobes and a headlight modulator. The bike is CHEAP, has remained essentially unchanged during something like 15 years of production and (as long as you remember to adjust the idler pulley - the one fatal mistake you can make) is indestructible. It's also the perfect bike to learn to wheelie on.   Daves Posted on Thursday, September 07, 2006 - 10:23 am:        PM Kreature, he has one and rides the wheels off it in the U.P. I didn't get a chance to ride it when we were up there for the Uly ride. It took too long to fix my shifter after I crashed.   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Thursday, September 07, 2006 - 04:52 pm:        If you get a KLR you must upgrade the doohickey... see here.. http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52954
