Kawasaki Other description

This KLR has been the the same owner for 14 yrs since new. He was/is a serious enthusiast who at any 1 time has three or 4 bikes in the stable and they all get farkled/ridden. This '650 is no exception to that rule with 13k miles and a slew of tasty/useful mods.The bike was set up right out of the gate for adventure touring. The pics essentially tell the story but the short list goes something like this:~Laser ProDuro exhaust.~Dynojet carburetor jetting upgrade.~K&N air filter.~Doohickey mod.~Dirt-Bagz panniers with frame kit.~Larger rear luggage rack.~Rear fender extension.~Progressive rear shock absorber and spring. Not a redone stock shock, an entirely new unit.~Stiffer fork springs with better valving and heavier weight oil.~Fork leg gaiters.~Front big brake upgrade with braided steel line.~Aluminum fork brace.~Acerbis hand protectors.~Aftermarket handlebar grips.~Rubber covers on the clutch and front brake levers.~Folding tip aftermarket shift lever.~Aluminum skid shield.~Compass.~Plastic throttlelock.~Rich's custom saddle.~Centerstand added with a padded nylon "helper" pull up strap.~Factory "Kawasaki KLR650" decals removed with clear paint protection film applied in high wear areas.This KLR is jetted as well as any I have ever tried. It runs/rides fantastic. It does not smoke or use oil excessively. A stock KLR compared to this 1 is a quivering mass of jello that is still warming up on choke while you are tearing it up in Baja. The little beastie has been fanatically maintained by the owner in his private shop where he has a lift and an extensive tool collection. Cosmetically it is probably the nicest older example a person is likely to find. Unless the bike was on the road in the line of duty, it was parked in a heated garage. There are signs of use and imperfections here and there. Clearly it was never pre-owned for serious trail riding or dirt thrashing. Given the type of machine it is and its intended use I think there will be no disappointments.One fork seal was barely weeping so I just had both sides redone by Walter Myers. The tires I would estimate are at 50% life remaining. The bike needs nothing other than a new owner with plans to hit the road and/or trail.Includes one factory key, the owners manual, toolkit, Clymer repair manual, factory Kawasaki manual, jet kit remains and a Crown Royal bag with new inner tubes.call/text Kie at Red Label Moto

The Japanese fantasized about the new Kawasaki Ninja 250

Sun, 25 Dec 2016

The small sportbike was last updated in 2013, but the next update is just around the corner. The Japanese magazine Young Machine has published a hypothetical (or, who knows, very likely) image of the new generation Kawasaki Ninja 250, which will appear at the end of next year or in 2018. The render is intriguing: according to it, the younger “ninja” can get a “birdcage” frame and a “changeling” fork.

Kawasaki KLR650 Returning For 2015

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

One of Kawasaki’s most popular sellers, the go-anywhere, do-anything KLR650 will once again be a staple of Kawasaki’s 2015 lineup. Preferring to run on either dirt or asphalt, the dual-purpose bike is very versatile, able to take riders almost anywhere they wish to go on- and off-road. The 651cc Single may not be the most inspiring engine in the world, but it gets the job done.
