model year vs. miles, durability
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2000 9:06 am
I am looking to buy a KLR and notice that there are
older (5-6 years) low mileage ones available. It seems
to me that bikes with less than 10k on the odometer
are barely broken in and would be a good buy if in
good condition.
Does anyone know if there are model years to avoid
(like cars) and has anyone rebuilt a KLR engine? I
have rebuilt car engines and suppose (hope) a
motorcycle engine wouldn't be much more of a
challenge.
What is the highest mileage anyone has seen on a KLR?
I understand the engine/drivetrains are very durable
and with proper maintenance can go 30k-40k between
rebuilds.
Thanks.
