2009 us spec klr650 owner's manual.

It lists 5 gears and the very 1st valve inspection at 24km/15mi.
Oil change intervals are: 1st at 1,000km/600mi., then at 12,000km/7,500mi.
and every 12,000km/7,500mi. afterward.
Personal observations on the 09' in my driveway:
Oil was NASTY at just over 100 miles when changed and the filter had
trapped metal particles visible. Oil was nasty again at 600 miles. Also,
when the 2 of the 4 valves inspected were found to be on their way to too
tight.
