Mine is out there under a tarp, right now - where it belongs.  All my 
 bikes used to live outside, until I got too many of them for the back 
 yard, now the newest one is in the living room.  Yes, I live in a 
 small place in the city.  It will be fine, don't worry.  Best 
 security device is good theft insurance, and a double barreled twelve 
 gauge is good as well.  I have both.  The tarp was 2.99 at Home Depot.

Well you obviously have your priorities confused.  What's the matter with 
 you?  Put 'er in the living room.  If you don't have one, the bedroom will 
 suffice.

I have used a cover before, but be very careful if you live in an 
 area that gets heavy winds, a cover will pull a bike down.  Also, the 
 cover will chafe your plastic.
 
 I'd just leave it out uncovered and use a U lock on it.  Avoid disk 
 break locks.

Hi Rex,
 
 I don't know for sure.  Yesterday, somebody posted an advert for a '96 for 
 $2200.  I remember you telling me that I should go with '96 or newer due to 
 some important mods.  Well I called the number but there was no 
 answer.  It's in California.  One of the questions I would have to ask is 
 whether the guy would store it until  Spring when I could ride it home to 
 PA.  Well I have a friend who sells motorcycles for a living and he advised 
 me that that would be a longish trip on a KLR and that if I looked long 
 enough, even in cycle trader, I would probably find one around here for the 
 same money.  And of course if I were to ship it, that would add another 600 
 bucks to the equation making it a less attractive deal.  Bottom line, I 
 didn't call back.  Hope that's not a mistake.

You know, as an addendum, I forgot to mention that I have never even thrown 
 a leg over a KLR 650.  There's a nice fellow who's on the list and lives 
 less than an hour from me.  He offered to let me ride his in the 
 Spring.  It's mothballed for the winter currently.  I would like to try one 
 out before committing to a purchase.  (Kinda like going all the way with a 
 girl before you marry her).

				Dude, you can get these disk lock things that go on the brake disk. I plan
 on getting one but my only concern is that if you forget it's on the disk
 and try to roll the bike, would it harm the caliper? I don't know? Maybe
 others on the list could comment.
 
 Congrats on the new ride!!!    Rob (KLR 99)

If left on and then forgot, you could warp the brake rotor. Don't ask me how 
 I know but it's easy to do when used all the time. ( I have a oversized MAP 
 rotor now thank you very much) .
 Some people run a highly visible cable to the throttle grip from the rotor 
 lock to remind them when it is locked.
