It starts and idles just fine, even runs good up until the 4-4.5k rpm mark, it bogs/loses power and backfires and won’t rev any higher.
I’ve cleaned the carb and reset to recommend specs, new spark plug, new intake boot

My first ever motorcycle. It’s kinda intimidating but I’m stoked! I’ve been dreaming of a dual sport for decades.

Happy to be part of the club. Can any futball fans tell what edition I got 😉?

New KLR owner got a gen 3 2025 and I cannot get the windshield right.

I use the highest base setting right now, I've tried a riser but the wind buffeting around my head was so bad it made me dizzy after a 45 mins ride.

So right now I'm just dealing with the wind hitting me right in the face instead of going above and bufffeting.

I'm 5'10 on a regular KLR.

What are you guys doing or got working? Should I get one of the risers I can adjust?

$30 for qty 2

Heyo! My rear shock on my '01 is pretty crapped out and needs a replace or rebuild. I am curious if it's worth sniping around ebay for a used shock off a Gen 3? Will it bolt up on a Gen 1 bike, and is there much improvement over the g1 shock? I'd love some preload adjustment which I think the newer bikes have. Any advice is appreciated, cogent is the best but hard to drop 1k on a klr especially in this economy. Looking for budget options that still feel like an upgrade.

Hola, quiero comprar una klr 650 de la gen 1, es 2005. Quiero saber que tal con las piezas en mexico, si aun se pueden conseguir fácilmente. Tambien si es fiable y que tal andan al dia de hoy. La moto que quiero comprar está en buen estado. O sera mejor comprar una generación 2?

Great weather for a ride!

For multiple reasons I have been unable to ride for about 3 months and it has been killing me. Every day seeing others out on theirs. Days of perfect weather. It was killing me! I finally am able to ride again and I couldn't be happier. Be safe out there ✌🏻

Just got into the KLR game and picked up a bike that has had just about everything done to it that one would want to do to it (except for the mirrors for some reason... got double takes on the way).

I think I've found the perfect companion for my 4runner!

The bike has been stuttering at higher rmps, anywhere above 45mph in 5th gear. I checked and I have spark, fuel and compression now Ive began to look at the fuel delivery system. I’ve seen people gut the petcock to make it a manual delivery system so no need for the vacuum, if this hose is kinked would that lead to no vacuum and a loss of fuel?

I have a 1984 klr600 with 6k miles. The other day I kicked it over and had it warming up with the choke on so about 3k rpm. I heard what sounded something bouncing around in the lower left case for about 10 seconds. Had to ride home from work roughly 3 miles. Bike ran and seemingly shifted fine.

I started on the rotor side. Doo hickey and lever were all on one piece and everything looks to be in good order. Next I took off the clutch cover to access the oil screen. That’s when I found the chunks of metal ( it is magnetic) and bits of black plastic/rubber almost like chain guide material.

My question is what do you think I’m looking at or what do you think may have failed. Only part I haven’t removed yet is the valve cover.

I have photos but I am not sure how to attach them

I recently bought a '22 650 off a friend of mine and I love the bike but it's got a DG performance exhaust on it that is absurdly loud even after a repack (there was no fiber in it). I'm considering the quiet core inserts for the DG but even then it sounds like the stock chambered muffler is hard to beat for quiet riding. Should I just bite the bullet and buy a stock exhaust on ebay? Anyone wanna trade their stock tube for the DG?

Hi. Sorry. Like many, my chain adjuster bolt was bent and is missing the faceplate and nut(s). I did go through the many posts about this but I'm very new to this and want to be sure; could I just bend the bolt back, buy two M8x1.25 nuts (one nyloc for the outer), an M8 washer, and really any appropriately sized piece of steel with a hole in it for the faceplate? I believe I read someone on here saying they used a few large washers. I am just on a time crunch and would very much prefer to take a trip to a hardware store as opposed to waiting for a 3D cycle parts delivery in addition to spending almost 30 bucks, although I would do so if the general consensus suggests it.

And no I didn't eat at the Mexican restaurant although apparently it's very good. The rural scenery was beautiful as always.

Had the bolt holding the intake camshaft and sprocket fail due to a stress fracture and the timing went out of whack. Can I reuse this piston? No cracks and maybe a coins width in.

16k miles, broke college student so try to tailor advice to that.

Currently replacing valves.

And a free pictures of my love <3

I was riding today and all of a sudden my 2012 klr650 started shaking and got very loud so I pulled over and now it won’t start and has a strange noise when I try and start it
