sun bleached klr

Post by david lugo » Mon May 06, 2002 9:15 am

Hi everyone: I am seeing a whitish discoloration on the olive green finish of my KLR650, on the front and rear fender, side panels, etc. I know is a dual purpose bike but I like to keep it shine and clean. I only use it for the weekend rides and to go to work once in a while. Any suggestions David Lugo Tirado CADLAB Administrator University of Puerto Rico - RUM Mechanical Engineering Department 787 832-4040 Ext. 3396 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Lots of armor-all seems to help. Mine was looking pretty rough after an arduous journey so I soaked it in armor-all, wiped it off, and she is loking pretty decent (for a dual sport). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

my KLR650, on the front and rear fender, side panels, etc. I know is a dual purpose bike but I like to keep it shine and clean. I only use it for the weekend rides and to go to work once in a while. Any suggestions David, I'd suggest keeping it out of the sun (inside, under shade, or covered), and coating it with a UV protective polish frequently. I feel the same way about my KLR, so whenever I park it outside I throw my gloves over the instruments to keep the needles and instrument markings from fading. My friend's A12 has less miles that my A11 but has been stored outside while mine's been garaged. I know which one I'd rather ride. __Arden Kysely

It ain't sun damaged until the plastic shatters and falls off! RM A14

Actually I have seen Andy's KLR and it's pretty sweet, He did it as a project bike and everything that was broken when his 15 year old looped it he replaced. He has MANY upgrades for it. Dale
