Chassis

• COMPOSED CHARACTER: Ride confidently through varying terrain with a durable chassis and long-travel suspension. A sturdy 41mm front 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.
• RUN 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.

Comfort and Convenience

• COMFORT IS KING: Increase your riding comfort by combatting wind and weather with the tall two-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 those 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.
