I have a few pics but low interest. I have tried to recruit ocl for the video content. No dice..but I would be happy to link the channel.Can't have a thumper forum without the mighty KLR.
Pictures, tips, bitches, milk crates, etc.
I bought mine from a friend. Great back road explorer.
I bought a new KLR back in 05 and kept it for 14 years. I had a lot of great rides on it and was glad I bought but I eventually decided I wanted something lighter and more modern.
I had a chance to ride a new KLR at a demo ride event a few months ago. I was not impressed.

The gen3 is cool.

I can definitely understand that. Great bikes but not exciting. I'm not the world's greatest off-road rider so I like to keep it to pavement and gravel.

My dual sports are xt225, drzsm, rxv550, tw200 and the 2022 gen3. Not one can follow a coleman into the swamp. Or climb a pile of wood chips. Around here a $500 minibike shuts down everything. The xt and tw are close!

You know the Cali crew? Cool! One day I will travel that way.

I owned nine different 650 KLRs between 1992 and 2017. I’ve put the most miles on a KLR and a Super Tenere although my next dual sport will probably be a KLX 300 for putting around and exploring.

Ok..2 threads? I have thought about trading mine for the s model or modding the s model into an enduro style bike.

Nah it's all good. The other site has 4 gen3 threads. I was curious about my pics. Haha

Ok, it's time to figure out what all this KLR talk is about. Just added a new gen 3 to the stable. With kawi running $1000.00 rebates, I couldn't say no.

All of 25 miles on it so far. Lol. I think I'm going to like it pretty well once I get the wind buffeting sorted out.

I raised my shield to the high position. It helped some.

I did as well, and it does help. I should have some adjustable windshield risers soon to try out.
I sat on one of the S models in february. It was like finding an old friend. I had a 2007 that I beat for 3 years and over 40k miles so I decided to give the 2023 a try.
It has most the farkles I require, now if the weather co-operates I can get some miles on it. I call it Willie as it is my 24th bike.
