Are these stronger bolts actually needed in a 2016 gen 2. I bought the klr because i heard they are bombproof and now i need thermabob, doohickie, and now subframe bolts. Hmmm

If you carry luggage or a passenger.
Take one out and go the local hardware store and buy grade 8 bolts or whatever the metric equivalent is.
That’s what I did a long time ago 100,000+ miles, no problems.
