Chassis

COMPOSED CHARACTER: Ride confidently through varying terrain with a durable chassis and long-travel suspension. A sturdy 41mm fork handles suspension duties up front, and an adjustable Uni-Trak® rear suspension system helps the KLR®650 motorcycle deliver an all-around composed riding character while front and rear disc brakes help you stop with confidence.
RIDE SMOOTHLY: Optimized suspension settings, a long swingarm, and an integrated rear frame contribute to confident handling, whether on a single track, backroad, or interstate highway. The KLR®650 S motorcycle features a seat height of 32.1 in versus 34.3 in on the KLR®650 motorcycle. A combination of reduced wheel travel, reduced seat thickness, and optimized suspension settings makes it easier to reach the ground while retaining excellent suspension performance, road handling capability, and ride comfort.
FULL STOP: Powerful front and rear disc brakes deliver strong and consistent braking performance throughout your entire ride.

Comfort and Convenience

KEEP COMFORTABLE: The KLR®650 motorcycle takes comfort and touring potential to the next level while maintaining the highly acclaimed reliability of its predecessor. Optimized frame strength and rigidity, under-the-seat rubber dampers, rubber-mounted handlebars, and footpegs all contribute to maximum comfort and carrying capacity for long-distance touring.
COMFORT IS KING: Increase your riding comfort by combating wind and weather with the tall 2-position adjustable windshield. The optimized handlebar and footpeg positions with rubber mounts provide a relaxed riding position with low engine vibration for maximum comfort. For long rides, you'll enjoy the rubber-dampened comfort seat with a tapered shape and supple seat cover for maximum bump absorption and ride comfort.

Engine

ROCK-SOLID POWER: Powered by one of the most reliable and trusted engines in the industry, the KLR®650 dual-sport motorcycle has a 652cc single-cylinder engine that offers a flat power curve, allowing you to cruise at freeway speeds and navigate trails effortlessly. On- or off-road, this powerhouse is here for the long haul.
EASY STARTING: The KLR®650 motorcycle’s fuel injection system makes for a reliable start, especially when your adventures take you to high altitudes or colder conditions.
GO THE DISTANCE: Take your adventure further with the generous fuel range. Fuel injection combined with the large-volume 6.1-gal fuel tank allows you to go farther between fuel stops.
STRONG AND POWERFUL: Tackle the trails, navigate through traffic, and cruise at highway speeds with strong overall power delivery and powerful mid-range torque. In addition, the modern, single-cylinder engine is proven against the elements and incredibly fuel-efficient, making the KLR®650 motorcycle a highly reliable companion for extended on- and off-road travels.

Model Editions

UP YOUR ADVENTURE: Make the most of your next adventure by choosing the best KLR®650 motorcycle suited for your needs. In addition to the standard model, we offer the Adventure model, engineered to enhance your next journey.
S MODEL: The KLR®650 S motorcycle is built off of the reputable and reliable KLR®650 motorcycle platform and carries over all of the same great features, but offers a lower seat height. A combination of reduced wheel travel, reduced seat thickness, and optimized suspension settings makes it easier to reach the ground while retaining excellent suspension performance, road handling capability, and ride comfort. Accompanying the reduced seat height is an increased shifter-to-footpeg distance and shorter side stand.

Styling and Electronics

ROBUST STYLE AND TECH: Turn heads with adventure-inspired colors and graphics that have been specifically designed to reflect the bike's tough capabilities and ruggedness. The all-digital multi-function instrumentation will keep you updated at a glance so you can stay in the action.
RUGGED GOOD LOOKS: Take on the road with the protector-equipped shroud design that adds functional strength to the tough, adventure style. The side cover, tail cowl, taillight, turn signals, and black-coated rims add to the robust and aggressive styling of this model. And a bright LED headlight shows you the way when your ride continues past sunset.
