vibration problem?
i'm still thinkin' yay or nay on buying a new or recent klr. how many folks
have a major problem with the vibration? the post comparing the dr sounds
like his bike is unusual, from what i've gathered so far. but i don't see
how factory variations could account for that, except mechanical problems
like bogus carburetion, valve or vacuum problem, or broken mounts (whatever
type the klr has). . . .thanks. the harley 883 has that kind of vibration
typically; seems like the klr doesn't??? lk

vibration problem?
I have a 99. I do not have any vibration problem other than the mirrors
getting fuzzy above 35mph. I have ridden 12 hour days with an MT21 on the
rear and vibration never entered my mind.

vibration problem?
I have a 1999 KLR 650. The vibaration is unnoticable other than the fact
that at cetain RPMs the images in the mirrors are distorted some. I love my
bike and would recommend it to anyone. It is awewsome.

vibration problem?
Being a recent 883 rider, I can tell you that the KLR650 is much
smoother than the H-D. It's like comparing a paint shaker to a
blender. People who complain about KLR vibration need to go take a
test ride on a Harley 883. That will straighten your perspective out
quickly.

vibration problem?
I'm riding a '95 and find that the mirrors fuzz at certain rpm's. The rpm
range and vibration changed with valve adjustment, carburation changes, and
tire changes but was never uncomfortable. Gel grips help, but even they were
an improvement rather than a necessity.

My KLR250 Super Sherpa has 2000 miles on it and has never pinged. I
usually put a mid-grade gas in it.
