Rock-Solid Fuel-Injected 652 cm3 Single

The KLR650 is powered by one of the most well-known, reliable, trusted engines in the motorcycle industry.  Its 652 cm3 four-valve Single produces a flat power curve that lets you navigate trails and cruise at freeways speeds effortlessly.  The 2022 model adds fuel injection, which combined with the fuel tank’s efficient use of volume contributes to a long range between fill-ups, while updates for increased durability ensure the reliability expected of an adventure tourer.  Stronger mid-range focused performance and increased generator capacity meet the needs of riders heading out for an adventure.

Tough Semi-Double Cradle Frame

The widely acclaimed high-tensile, semi-double cradle frame inherited from the previous model receives a number of improvements that contribute to a more composed character when riding.

Sturdy Suspension

Beefy ø41 mm front fork handles suspension duties up front, while Uni Trak suspension takes care of the rear.  The adjustable Uni Trak system offers progressive rear suspension action, while contributing to a low centre of gravity.  Rear spring preload and rebound damping adjustment allows riders to fine-tune suspension settings to suit the riding situation and preference.

Front and rear suspension settings have been revised to match the frame changes, contributing to a more planted feel.

Larger Front&Rear Disc Plus ABS

Larger (ø280 mm >> ø300 mm) front brake disc delivers stronger braking power.  A change from petal disc to round disc adds to the tough looks.

ø240 mm rear brake disc is 1 mm thicker, offering increased heat dissipation under braking.  Matching the front, it too is now a round disc, contributing to the machine’s tough image.

All-Day Ergonomics

Fine-tuning the naturally upright riding position of its predecessor contributes to a stress-free position for long-distance touring.  Reduced vibration from parts that come in contact with the rider further contribute to comfort on long rides.
