KLR650

  

ANYWHERE, ANYTIME


Wherever the destination, whatever the distance, over any kind of terrain, the KLR650 is the motorcycle to get you there in style and comfort. With its large powerful engine, long travel suspension and massive fuel carrying capacity combined with rock-solid reliability and unbreakable toughness, the big KLR makes short work of rugged forest trails, wide open deserts and inner city traffic alike.

The 2010 KLR650 continues its reputation for being more rugged, more reliable and higher performing, delivering the ultimate in all-round fun.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

POWER
Precise cam-timing and intake porting, a one-piece exhaust system and a fully transistorised ignition adds up to thumping power across the big 651cc four stroke’s rev-range.
BEEFY SUSPENSION
Beefy 41mm forks offer greater rigidity up front while a Uni-Trak linkage provides greater compliance at the rear. The KLR’s suspension offers a smooth, controlled ride perfect for hours in the saddle.

STRONG CHASSIS
Effective suspension settings, stiff spokes, lightweight petal disc brakes, a D-section swingarm and forged axle holders are just some of the features of the KLR’s chassis that contribute to its incredible handling and all-round road holding.
EQUIPPED TO GO-ANYWHERE
Firm seat foam, great weather protection, a powerful dual-bulb headlight and generous generator output make for greater long-distance touring capabilities and are complemented by a easy-to-read frame-mounted instrument panel that enables lighter steering and features a large speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meter and water temp gauge.
GREAT CARRYING CAPACITY
The 2010 KLR650 offers great carrying capacity with a large rear rack enhanced by a slim tail section enabling easier fitment of saddle bags.
LONG-RANGE TOURING
Thanks to a massive 22.1 Litre fuel capacity, the KLR650 has the long-distance touring range to ride off into the sunset and back again. And if it’s commuting you’re planning, then you won’t be planning on visiting the petrol station too often!
POWER TO THE GROUND
Thanks to the big single’s broad power delivery, a five-speed transmission is more than sufficient to provide excellent gearing to suit everything from low-speed trail riding to high-speed highway cruising. Final drive is through a long-lasting O-Ring chain.
LIQUID COOLING
The KLR’s sophisticated liquid cooling system employs an automatic cooling fan to maintain airflow at low speeds. Cooler engine temperatures allow tighter internal tolerances for quieter operation and longer eng,brine life.
