klr650 - highway travel - how fast for how long and what bike mileage O.K. boys, time to fess-up about the klr and the highway (speed and distance) you all are riding at. So, now, on to the question at hand… What speed and distance on the highway do you maintain with your klr, and what is the mileage on your bike (ie, have you already burn your engine to crap, or what sustained speed is it happy at)?

KLR truth Hi Narly; I have a 1990 K with 92000 km on the clock. Had the engine tore down at about 73000, not because of problems, but because a previous owner had welded the front sprocket to the output shaft! I made a fix that worked for about 3 yrs, but some driveline vibes were setting in. During the tear down, it was apparent the engine was in excellent condition. Piston and rings were replaced, no valve probs, but replaced some minor parts since everything was apart. As for cruising, I run expressways at 120km which comes in at about 107 or so by GPS. The speedo is truly "far out". That keeps my speed close enough to traffic that I am comfortable, and the bike seems happy. Will use a lttle oil over long distances at those speeds. Many of my miles are two up, and the bike handles it fine, including some quite knarly (or is that "narly") Mexican backroads. If we keep the speed down, as on 2 laners, we are getting 400-450 km per tank.

The pre-08 KLR650 will do 98 mph, the magazines are reporting about 90 mph for the 08. Since the horsepower and acceleration is about the same for both versions, it appears that the difference is the larger fairing on the 08. The pre-08 fairing was not the most effective, so while I haven't ridden an 08, I would think the trade-off of comfort for top speed is probably worth it. The pre-08 is comfortable up to about 85mph, after that I find that I want to duck down behind the windscreen to reduce the blast. In many parts of the U.S. now, fast lane traffic is cruising at 85mph. Occaissionally a bit more (88-90mph). Keep in mind that about half the western states now have 75mph speed limits (80mph in west Texas), and enforcement is generally less than it was ten years ago.

Depends on road and tires I have 2 klr's a 2002 and a 2004. The 02 has mostly off road tires, small screen and no luggage. The 04 has more road oriented tires with givi bags, tall screen. Both bikes have been on the #2 highway between Edmonton and Calgary as well as out to Banff and Jasper. 1 up both bikes are comfortable at 100 - 110 KPH while 2 up I don't like to exceed 100. Anything over 110 and the fuel mileage drops of drastically. Often one of my sons will ride one of the bikes while I ride the other and I notice that the 04 gets better fuel economy than the 02. I think this must be because of the harder rubber on the tires. As far as how far can I ride it depends on the individual. Either of my sons can put on several more hours than my old bones will take. If we are going long distances I tend to take my Triumph Trophy 1200. I use a lot more fuel but more than recover the time taken at fuel stops by cruising at higher speeds and then we all meet up at the end of the day. As for longevity of the bike my 02 has 48,000 Km and my 04 has 35,000 Km. No major work on either while my sons 02 totally calved at 38,000. I think the key is regular maintenance. Hope this is what you were looking for. Rick

I don't push the bike much beyond 60mph for any length of time, as it's just not built for it. The speedo is quite optimistic too.. comparing the speedo to the GPS-recorded speed seems to indicate that the speedo is consistently about 10% high.. which might explain how I've managed to not get flashed by those speed cameras littered around London! In terms of distance, I found the main limiting factor was the numb-bum syndrome.. the stock saddle is too narrow for comfortable long distances, so I added a sheepskin called Sean, which makes a difference. In order to reduce numb hands from the vibrations, keep the tank full, and move weight to the tank bag, or tank panniers, if you have them. Mileage.. well I bought mine with 6000 miles on the clock, and it only gets used for commuting 3-4 miles each day, plus very occasional trips (I've been limited by time for the past year), so it's at about 13000 miles now.

Mines an '05 with 19k miles on it. I'm the original owner and love the bike- use it every day. Got bounced around by the wind way more before I added a fork brace, now it's much better but some really windy days are still definitely white knuckle. Fully loaded I have no trouble keeping up with traffic (California 70 mph+) when I need to (I usually search out back roads). A 350 mile day is a lot on the bike, but that could be because I'm not a spring chicken (55) and I have the stock seat on the bike. Next trip I'm using a sheepskin in hope of a little more comfort. I used to Jones for a BMW but love the simplicity of the KLR. The only reason I will move to BMW GS is if wife says yes to life on the road with me. Otherwise, the KLR is a great bike.

The fork brace is probably only required on A (US) and B (Tengai) models cos of the skinnier forks (38mm). The C (EU) model has 41 mm forks, which don't seem to benefit as much from fork braces, cos it's more rigid to begin with. The 2008 model uses 41mm forks now too, if I remember correctly. I have a BMW R1150RT as well, but I prefer the KLR for the rougher stuff, for the following main reasons.. 1) it's easy to work on if something goes wrong (last trip, the clutch cable broke, and that was just 30 minutes to get the spare out, re-route it, and adjust it). Getting to just the battery on the BMW is a f*****g drama, in comparison. For two up, there's nothing like the BMWs though.. I feel like the R1150RT handles more naturally with two up, actually. Horses for courses..

I make it a practice to not run my 2000 KLR over 4500 rpm for extended periods. I usually use a 16/43 sprocket set, and that is 70 mph'ish. I currently have about 54,000miles on it ,and they have not all been easy miles. 4WD roads in Moab Utah; Ouray CO and the like. Up to 15,000 feet in Peru, and Bolivia. It uses maybe 8 oz. of oil in 3,000 miles. Worst failure I ever had was a speedo drive gearbox.

I have on 03 with 40k miles on the clock and it uses no oil. I have taken from British Columbia to Nicuaragua and all over the US. It is not a bike for Interstate droning. Not comfortable for bike or rider in my opinion. It will cruise for extended periods and 75mph plus. At those speeds it is pretty much maxed out and there is not much left for passing or emergencies. I typically ride at 65 to 70 when droning and try to do as little as possible. If not required to maintain 75 plus there are often better alternatives to the interstate highways, prettier, less traffic, and almost as fast. --chris __________________

26000 miles and counting I have a 92 model bought used with 8000 miles on it . I had to do some work befor riding it,but not to the motor. After a few hundred get aquainted miles, I ran it out to check top speed while out on a ride with a guy on a V-Max. The KLR indicated 100 mph and the V-Max owner said the same. __________________

Kind of what I thought Thanks for the posts, guys. It's pretty much the same as my opinion. The KLR has all the power you need if not the power you want. Peace,

Klr Mph/mpg I float my slim, svelte 6'3" 240 lb. frame across the back of a 2006 KLR and ride it 14 miles each way to work and back. The posted speeds on the route in mph: one mile at 25, six miles at 45, four miles at 55, two miles at 35, one mile at 30. It's pretty much billiard-table flat.
