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. | |
