Hello,
This is my first post on this forum.
I am thinking about buying a used 2008 KLR 650 from a local dealer. I am absolutely new to the KLR so don't know what I should be inspecting. The bike has about 22,000 miles. I can get this bike for about $4,400 Canadian, which for where I live (Whitehorse, Yukon) is $3000 less that new. It looks like it has mainly road miles. What I would really appreciate are any recommendations of items I should inspect. A checklist would be great! I do not have a lot of experience working on motorcycle engines, although I do work on my 4 stroke aircraft engine, so have some mechanical sense.
Many Thanks,
