Other than the KLR being undersprung, the forks diving and the rear end bottoming out the KLR has no suspension problems. Jim Fortner Plano, TX A7 02 XX 04 FJR

The more fun I am having off road the more often the suspension starts to bottom with a sickening thud. I weigh about 200lbs with gear and getting any more than 2 feet of air is about the limit for the stock suspension with just me on it. Until I get a real dirt bike my stock KLR will have to do.
