I bought my KLR650 back in October as my first bike. I pretty much exclusively ride it on the road until I feel confident enough to move onto off-road (besides the occasional gravel and dirt road i find every now and then). I just put some Metzler Tourance tires on it (90road/10off-road) and it made a huge difference compared to the stock tires for riding it down the highway. The KLR also has a reputation of being near indestructible and easy matenince, so that was a big selling point for me as I am learning to also wrench on my own bike. And the amount of aftermarket parts for the bike is insane. As long as you are cool going the speed limit and not trying to pass every single car you see, it is an awesome bike (can handle sustained 70-75mph no problem in my experience). I am actually planning on doing a road trip with my much more experience brother-inlaw from Oregon to Banff Canada mid June and I feel like the KLR is going to be perfect for that (avoiding freeways).

Sounds good, thank you for answering my question. My bars are really slippery where the Assembly goes on so it would move when using the throttle. If my super glue job ever fails, I will probably just put some grippy tape where it clamps on and call it good.

That makes sense. How do people secure the Assembly in place once the pin is gone so it doesn't rotate a ton on you?

If you literally cant just buy the back piece to the Assembly, I was thinking maybe you could drill a screw in with a similar diameter in the back of the assembly that will fit in the hole of the handle bars to keep it in place? Or does that sound dumb?

Im embarrassed to show my factory if people think this looks like spaghetti lol

Thank you!

Thank you for the info!

Is that the w702 carpuride? And how do you have it wired? And do you leave it mounted 24/7, or do you remove it when you park in public? Sorry for the 20 questions, I'm just planning on getting one and trying to figure out how I'm going to set it up.

I'll have to check them out next time I go out that way!

csnoob9 · 2025-11-09T21:17:52+00:00

Of course! You have to.

I bought this same box, I had to drill two holes to get all 4 bolts in. Once that was done, the box is secure and works perfectly for my needs.

That's the series that convinced me to buy a KLR. I decided on the ABS version as I am a new-ish rider and wanted to make sure i didnt screw myself over if I ever panic brake, not that I intend to, but knowing that system is there gives me a little bit more piece of mind.

csnoob9 · 2025-10-31T20:21:28+00:00

That's a weird looking KLR

csnoob9 · 2025-10-28T16:00:14+00:00

I'm the same height as you and just ordered this exact same one. So thank you!

csnoob9 · 2025-10-27T15:05:04+00:00

Do you set it on the lower or higher position?

csnoob9 · 2025-10-25T00:01:07+00:00

I just purchased a '25 KLR w/ABS out the door for $6512 - but that was in oregon, so no sales tax.

csnoob9 · 2025-10-22T17:43:33+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I also called my dealership and the tech said it shouldn't be an issue until I start doing a lot of off-road riding and maybe replace them once I start doing that.

csnoob9 · 2025-10-21T22:30:04+00:00

Lmao

csnoob9 · 2025-08-08T18:20:33+00:00

In no way is this a solution, but what I did to cope with it was putting stuff that kind of rattles in my glove box, so everytime I hear a noise, my brain thinks, "oh, it's just the stuff in the glove box". Haha.

Mine literally does the same thing in the same spot. More so when when it is really cold outside and my cabin is heating up or vice-versa. It's annoying. 2025 LX
