Is very pretty in red. But anyone know if anything has actually 'changed' on it? I would suppose not, but can't find any information either way. If you haven't seen it, check out www.kawasaki.com Sorry if this has already been a thread, I was out of town for two months, just getting back to the list. Tim

Ryan and I both thank you all for your kind support throughout his ordeal. Now we are going back to doing what we want to do the most-- -riding. I went back down to my local dealer today in Gulfport, Mississippi and asked the sales manager to sell me the first red 2004 KLR 650 that comes in. He agreed and the deal is set. $100.00 down and balance on delivery. $5150.00 OTD Fair price for both of us. Even though we found a couple dealers that had the 2003's in stock, neither one of us like the green. Green is OK, but KLR green is just hard on the eyeballs. The only color that could possibly look worse is pink. IMHO Now---I have to go through all the modification processes again: Highway pegs, aluminum skidplate, saddle bag mounts, hard saddle bags, doohickey replacement, fog lights, GPS mount, tall windshield, better seat, progressive springs, BMW accessory plug (s), acquire both shop manuals again, aluminum hand guards, throttle lock, CB mount, T-Mod, Tank bag, heat troller, new body armor, etc. Did I miss anything? See you on the road. Gonna do our best to make it to Moab next spring. Lloyd and Ryan Rauschkolb Gulfport, Ms.

I've put 600 miles on it since purchased. I'm a little confused about this Doohickey thing. Do I need to be concerned about this now? How will I know if I have a problem before its to late? This Sagebrush replacement parts in the KLR FAQ...will this fix it permanently? Is the Sagebrush the best fix? Thanks to all ahead of time for your comments!! First KLR I've ever owned. Just want to enjoy it instead of working on it.

Sam, Since you asked for advice... start riding as soon as you can. Stop every hour or so for a quick break and walk around the bike. Bring ear plugs and wear them. Don't forget to check the tire pressure. Not sure of the route but if you can ride Highway 1 in Oklahoma, the Talahina Highway????, enjoy it. Remember to lube the chain.
