I often see and hear the same things from many about their ever lasting experiences and impressions on their past KLR. Myself included, which made me rescue this one and bring it back to life. Especially years ago when the dual sport bikes were becoming the thing. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!
Thats awesome! Nice to see another person bringing an older KLR back to life. I had a 650 many years ago and prefer the 250 over it, especially off the road. That 6th gear is money! Thanks for stopping by and have fun with working on and riding your KLR!
Iv been looking at a really good condition one, same color {great looking bike} for $1800 that dude says needs a valve adjustment....Im thinking it just needs carb work cuz these Kawi's seem to go forever with any valve adjustments. I did a KLX, DRZ, and KDX so far as projects and currently kept the DRZ {KLX400} cuz the bike fits me and my riding damn well.
Awesome! Looks like you found a nice one. They sure are very reliable machines and that 6th gear is money! I had the KLR 650 and in some ways prefer the 250 over it. Especially when your off road. If all that bike needs is some carb work that would be great. If not you can have that seat, tank and valve cover off in 15-20 minutes to check the valve clearance and put it back together using the same rubber gasket. Thanks for stopping by and happy trails to ya!
This is definitely one of the better KLR videos I've seen of someone ripping through the snow with ease and experience. I own a '95 and am currently attempting to perfect every inch. Any chance you can share what headlight that is?
Thanks for stopping by, glad you enjoyed the video! The KLR is a lot of fun out in the snow. If it was earlier in the winter I would put some studs on those tires and gain some traction! The headlight I got off ebay. The sellers name is autoclub 363 he sells them for 29.99. Type in - 4x6 Motorcycle Square LED Headlight YAMAHA TW200. It's a descent light for the price. It has a aluminum housing with heat sinks on the back, 2 vented valves, a H4 plug in that fits the KLR factory wiring harness. It fits the factory headlight housing perfectly. However, you wont be able to use the factory screw adjustments for adjusting left or right, which is really useless anyways. The height adjustment was right on. Hope this helps you out and have fun with that 95 your building!
Also, I got to give credit where credit is due, I got the tip from the channel Jason Galbraith here on UA-cam. He has a video on it and also other things he has done to his KLR. Check his channel out you may find other things of interest.
@@thenorthwoodz aah I was very close to picking up a TW200 a couple months ago before someone beat me to the deal. I liked that it had both an electric and kick start in case electric ever failed (pre-2000 model). This headlight is looking really reasonably priced for a dramatic improvement. This is exactly what I needed to know, thank you so much!
@@howdaay No problem, glad to help out. Electric start along with a kicker is definitely a good thing. I never rode a TW but seen and heard a lot of good things about them.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! The KLR 250 is great bike! They should of never stopped building them. Have fun with your new KLR! and no I am down in the USA. Thanks for stopping by!
Had a klr 250 back in the mid 90s. Despite the small displacement and rear drum brake it was still one of the best bikes ive owned.
