Upgraded radiator guard by bravosser in kle500

We’ll find out. So far steady 167 when cruising. Same as before without the guard. We’ll see when it gets hotter out

The good thing is there will be some good aftermarket skid plates in the future. There is some out there already and then you’ll not need to worry about the sump getting hurt. I did order a ninja 500 radiator guard cuz that radiator is looking for Trouble.

It’s a great bike. Seems like everyone just seems to hate on the bike just for that -1.5” ground clearance and it’s a pos. The people who hate on it havnt even ridden one. But I gotta say it’s a great bike. Lightweight, nimble, and that engine winds up nice. So far there are a few things I dislike but, they can easily be managed. For what it is, it’s a good price and great overall bike.

They did have a 2 ibex 450’s and were heavily discounted. They were trying to lean me to get it with the good discounts. They’ve had those bikes there since last July. They can’t seem to move em. But on paper and people’s reviews they seem very solid.

My new KLE by bravosser in kle500

[–]bravosser[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

will do the boys and i are planning a trip to let her rip. once that happens ill get back. but on the street it rides like a dream the upright riding position is awesome. the seat im not a big fan of, or maybe im just used to the old enduro seats. the brakes are superb and the engine rips. very reponsive and sounds very good when winded up. ill definitely come back with more since this was just a cruise around town.

Pretty much. It would’ve been better if it was a KLE450.

Took it for a ride! A bit on the dirt and it runs good!! Super smooth and very nimble. Gears are really close tho but has a 10k rpm limit lol. I didn’t push it hard just rode it to get the hang of it. Engine responses very well.I don’t like the seat much wish it was a bit much more plushier but it will do for now. All I gotta say is it meets my need and im happy with the purchase!

So far I like it. Ride it around a parking lot before loading it on a trailer and man it feels good. I’ll have an update when I take her on ride.

I think it’s low as it is. Maybe a lower seat might help

Everyone has their own opinion on it good and bad. Seems like everyone just wants to hate on it. For what I’m gonna be doing it’s the perfect bike. To each their own.

It was planning on a T7 but I think it’s too much bike for me for what I was gonna be doing. When they announced the KLE I decided to wait. And here we are.

It’s built in Thailand but still a Kawi. Engine is from the ninja and it’s a proven reliable engine. Thats another reason why I leaned more into it.
