2008 klr reliability issues?

[excavator nut]

Just joined, have had my klr 08 for 11 months have 10,000 miles, have never had to add oil between oil changes. The motorcycle has proved flawless, 8000 of those miles have been highway ( interstate ) miles. 75-85 mph constant speeds for for hours and not one problem, gets 55 mpg, 6 gallon gas tank, hand protectors that work

My 08 is the second KLR650 I have owned, and its far superior to the earlier model......and in my opinion maybe one of the best bikes ever made.

Mine has been to hell and back, and still runs perfectly.

Glad you like yours as much as I like mine.

I have 17 bikes currently, and have to admit I ride the KLR more than the other 16 combined.

I am going to do a major update on the bike this winter....not sure why as its great as it sits, just want to I guess.
