2002 KAWASAKI KLR650
Off-road or on,
Kawasaki's KLR650 motorcycle is designed with both street and dirt riding
in mind, thanks to an engine that cruises comfortably at highway speeds,
an ample and comfortably padded seat for extended saddle time, a large
6.1-gallon fuel tank, handguards, and a mini fairing to help block the
wind.
The KLR's
"get-up-and-go" comes courtesy of a strong, dual overhead cam,
four-valve liquid-cooled 651 cc engine. The motor provides a wide range of
power that's equally suitable for negotiating low-speed trails and
cruising at a more brisk highway pace. An engine crankshaft
counterbalancer and electric starter provide additional
rider comfort and convenience.
The KLR650's frame
is made of round-section high-tensile steel, the same strong yet
lightweight material used to support Kawasaki's KX motocrossers. A
detachable rear sub-frame simplifies maintenance by providing better
access to the airbox, carburetor and rear shock. Adjustable, long-travel
suspension ensures a plush
ride both on pavement and on trails.
A U.S. Forestry
Service-approved spark arrester ensures access to any Forest Service road
open to licensed vehicles, while a sturdy engine guard protects the cases
from loose rocks and gravel. Add an optional Kawasaki tank bag and soft
luggage to the large standard rear rack and KLR650 owners can tote enough
gear for an extended
trip to any remote location.
