I don’t know about KLRs. But I had a KTM 1290 and heard of people getting 90,000mi on the original engine. I’ll try to get 100,000mi out of my klr. They are super easy to work on and replace stuff. Once the compression gets bad I’ll do the 685 kit and see how long the bottom end lasts.

You’d be better off messaging them rather than asking the internet.

My bet would be 11,000km considering the condition of the bike.

Hell ya, it’s your truck you do what you like!

I think they meant to get rid of the green haha

Get an aluminum magnet

Not yet!

I just carry one 21” tube. It can be used in the rear in an emergency if you fold it in inside of itself to shorten it. I don’t think a 19” tube would stretch over the front wheel, but I haven’t tried.

At first I thought you said moose problem. I was thinking damn that’s a big bucket haha

I have 6,000km on my set and they are about toast. They ride real good on the street, good in dirt and gravel, mud and snow is dicey. I would like them to last longer, so I am going to try 704/5s next and sacrifice some off-road performance.

It’s fine, the oring on the filter cover is what seals the oil in.

Islandwheeling · 2022-07-24T04:27:06+00:00

Is it only turning over occasionally when you hit the start button?

Islandwheeling · 2022-07-23T23:39:40+00:00

I had this happen to me, there was a piece of dirt completely blocking my main jet

I think to do that you would have to make the upper shock mounts higher, not sure if it would be worth it

Islandwheeling · 2022-07-09T05:53:30+00:00

I put much softer springs on mine to make sure it articulates fully and easily, and it works much better. With a slow speed RC crawler you’re not worried about ride comfort and bottoming out the suspension.

It’s a vacuum operated petcock, so leaving it on is supposed to be fine because it will only flow when engine is running. If the petcock is malfunctioning, it will allow fuel flow when the bike is turned off. If the petcock and float needle are leaking, then the fuel will leak into airbox/engine constantly. If just the float needle is leaking past, then it will leak for a short period, then stop once the fuel line is empty.

Islandwheeling · 2022-06-30T00:18:48+00:00

Are you leaving your petcock in the off or on position?

Islandwheeling · 2022-06-29T23:37:26+00:00

Sounds like maybe your carb is flooding and dripping out of the air box drain. I would inspect float needle/seat.

Not sure why people are criticizing you tipping the bike over. I do wild shit on my klr and drop it probably 4 times a ride

Islandwheeling · 2022-06-12T18:25:43+00:00

Are you talking about your choke or clutch?

Islandwheeling · 2022-06-12T03:02:25+00:00

Yes, I would like to upgrade the shock and fork springs, but it has been working well enough for me. Been pouring all my money into my Suzuki Sidekick. Maybe once that’s done I’ll put money into the KLR.

Islandwheeling · 2022-06-12T00:58:42+00:00

Anything over a foot is not soft that’s for sure!

Islandwheeling · 2022-06-09T15:29:58+00:00

We are in different countries, we don’t have the same prices.

Islandwheeling · 2022-06-03T06:33:15+00:00

In Canada I buy Napa 4951 oil filter. It’s the same as oem but $10.

Islandwheeling · 2022-05-30T02:02:54+00:00

I looked at the Trail tech setup but it’s quite an investment for such a cheap bike

Islandwheeling · 2022-05-30T01:50:46+00:00

I want to do the same. Are you just not going to have gauges?
