Fred http://www.arrowhea**dmotorsports.**com There was a KLE500 available in Europe but not the States from 1991-1998. Uses the EX500 parallel twin engine with its primary chain. Sort of a Versys precursor. The motor has a 180 degree crank with a gear driven balance shaft so the use of a primary chain seems like a cheapskate Luddite engineering decision. Not powerful and not economical, the MCN article says. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/biker ... 5-current/ http://www.ronayers.com/Fiche/TypeID/26 ... odel/EX500 -- Ian Francisco http://www.scarletfuries.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Scarl ... 1218125931 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I have tried explaining that to many who felt that the larger twice as expensive (or 3 times as expensive) mounts were the ultimate adventure bike. It's like telling Harley guys they need a helmet. Criswell Sent from my iPad

I always describe the KLR as "The Jeep" of motorcycles, It's meant to be taken ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE and modified, LOADED down, EASY to work on OFF ROAD, etc.,
