gen ii klr issues -- deep hole
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 11:43 am
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.
