gen ii klr issues -- deep hole

[Desert Datsuns]

I'm probably not going to go full bore on this bike like I did with the 1998 model I owned back around the 2001-2005 timeframe. This one, for the time being at least, will remain a lot more stock. I just wanted to know ahead of time what I need to look for. Seems some of the issues remain the same, some are different. But at least this way if problems arise I know where to look.

Anybody got a klr600 manual they dont want any more? I will pay cash. I also need the KLR250 supplement to go with it. Ummmm, do you have them Fred? Picked up a 97 for my son to learn on after he gets his license this summer
