Gents
I just bought or traded my plated 2004 XR400 for a 2008 KLR650, straight across. The klr is in great shape and only has 6 thousand miles on it and the bike is completely stock. I know I've heard horror story's about he first year of the new 2nd gen. But this bike was built at the end of the year and dose not have any of the issues of burning oil or the electric problems. Checked the bike up and down. Pull the plug and it was nice and clean and never changed and the wiring harness had no rubbing cutting issues. It has Dunlap d 606 on it but that's all. Blue and silver, and pretty comfy. I'm in the process of doing a bunch of thing, doohickey kit is on its way, progressive suspension is on it way, 22 cent mod, uni filter, FMF Q4 exhaust, fixing the water pump, starting to drip from seep hole. So might as well take care of that. Taller windscreen, some baggage and motech crash bars. I've had a lot of bikes and really wanted something that I can go off road and at least keep up with traffic on road, and I think this one is a keeper. If you guys have any other ideas that I could use let me now. Work in progess.
