History
Purchased in July 2020. Bought it to replace a 2009 KLR250S.

Found the bike online, agreed to a price, then needed to find a way to get it home. I'm in Chicago; the bike was in Columbus, GA. After a week with no response to my post on uShip, I decided to hook up a trailer to my car and get it myself. A quick 44 hours and 1,700 miles later, I had the bike safely unloaded in my garage!

I am now the third owner of the bike.

The bike has one secret. It is a 2012, but has a 2013 paint scheme.

Modifications

Drivetrain
Stock 15/43. PO did a lot of highway miles, so had it set up with a 16 tooth front sprocket. I do mostly stop-and-go commuting so replaced it with a 15 tooth. Replaced the chain and rear sprocket at the same time.
