Up for sale is my 2009 Kawasaki KLR 650. I'm looking to upgrade to something with better road/highway manners and thus have to let the KLR go. I bought this bike in the summer of 2014 from the original owner. I love this bike and wish I could keep it, but I live in Brooklyn so only one bike at a time. Check out this video for why KLRs are great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwaCUTg8V2AIt has 13,470 miles and I am still using it to commute so the mileage will climb slightly. The bike is kept indoors year-round in a shared garage. Clean title in my name. This bike makes an excellent urban commuter - great riding position, lots of torque, enough suspension travel to take on curbs and potholes, top box to hold your bag or groceries, etc. On the highway it's comfortable up to about 80mph. Offroad it's great on wider, more easy going trails. It's a little heavy for more technical tracks, but people do it.The bike starts on 1-3 cranks every time, no matter how cold or hot, revs smoothly up to it's redline in all gears with no weird vibrations or rattles, keeps itself cool on hot summer afternoons in traffic. Maintenance: Oil changes every 2k miles or at the end of the season with Rotella T 15w40. Air filter cleaned and oiled every season (or more if it was a dusty ride). Chain cleaned regularly and lubed with a dry teflon spray. 10,000 mile service included: - New Chain- New front and rear sprockets - New tires (Mefo Explorers front & rear)- New inner tubes- New UNI air filter- Valve clearance check (everything was in spec)- New front brake pads + line bleed- New oil filter- Replaced majority of fasteners with stainless hex-head screws- Reinforce electrical harness in known rub spots I just had it inspected - good through March 2018. The fairings are original and have a few light scratches here and there but are intact and look good. Previous owner removed the decals. The bike comes with a bunch of great farkles (add-ons): - Full Staintune exhaust - header and muffler- KLX jet kit + airbox mod, tuned for the new exhaust- Progressive front suspension- Barkbuster Storm handguards (with flush bar-end weights)- Moose Racing skid plate / bash guard- SW Motech engine guards / crash bars- PMRacks side utility racks- Back Road Equipment quick-release luggage rack- Pelican 1550 top case - Happy Trails Rallye windscreen system- Kawasaki extended windscreen - Pro-taper handlebars- Progrip 714BK Gel Grips- Ignition relay-switched accessory fusebox (e.g. only on when key is turned)- Cree LED auxiliary lights (w/ switch on handlebars)- USB charging port for your phone or camera- LED bulbs in instrument panel - Sealed AGM battery
