Hello all, I've been doing research on getting a new lowered seat for my KLR. The main reason is just make it easier to swing by Leg over and getting off. Right now I usually drag my right toe across the seat when I get off. When in the bike, I can flat foot it with stock height, except I'm...

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I just bought a 2009 KLR 650 with a seized engine because the deal seemed too good to pass up. I paid $1000 for the bike, came with hard cases and crash bars. The guy said it was a long ride and I guess he ran out of oil due to something about the pcv not being...

Stupid question, probably stupid move too. I took off the lower fairings. Worried about radiator and anything else. Should I put 'em back on? I don't see "worrisome" movement but the radiator definitely travels back and forth a bit in the wind at freeway speed. Thanks all.

Just got a 2009 KLR650 yesterday and taking it on the highway it gets quite wobbly at 70mph, so I'm troubleshooting. For tire pressure, what is ideal for street riding? I've got a Kenda Big Block front tire with max psi of 36 and a Heidenau Scout rear tire with max 44psi. I weigh 130lbs. Any...

2009 KLR Review, 1st time KLR owner As a relatively new owner of a 09 KLR, and a first time owner of any KLR, my review might best be used by someone like me. I have owned 18 bikes in my life, about 50-50 street to dirt, so I know what each type of riding is all about. I researched long and...

Hi everyone; Want to get my first bike and have decided on what I am affectionately calling "The Big Ugly" 2009 KLR650. Today I went to the Motorcycle Mall in Belleville NJ and was beat in the head by a fast talking kid, when he finished trying to add on all the bells and whistles the price...
