  1. How To's & Tech Guides
    Need to replace an old YB14L-A2 battery. Would like to have lithium, but after reading a few forums, can't wrap my head around if this will work. Could get any size that fits into the housing?

    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.

    I’ve got an 00’ klr 250d and would like to do some adventure touring on it as it is a capable and light off-reader and can keep up on country highways. Are there good options for panniers out there (preferably hard shell and lockable)? or is that overkill and a soft bag is a must? should i get a...

    Hey everyone, I'm new here. I just picked up a 1984 KLR600. It has a PWK aftermarket carburetor. I'm having trouble making it run well. Not enough gas/too much air. I'm still playing around with the A/F and the jets and I'm getting closer but I just realized that this isn't the stock carb! The...

    I have a 2016 klr 650 with only 1600 miles on it. Last weekend I went and did some hard trail riding with my brother and all was fine. A couple days later I was riding to work and it felt jerky. I had steady throttle but it kept jerking. Then a couple days later I went to ride again but this...

    Hi all. Tonight my KLR just died on me while driving down the road and after a struggle to finding a new fuse as the main fuse blew the starter would not engage. I ended up push starting the bike as I had to get it out of that area, but then about 50m up the road the bike completely died on me...
