Features

Chassis

  • COMPOSED CHARACTER: Ride confidently through varying terrain with a durable chassis and long-travel suspension. A sturdy 41mm front fork handles suspension duties up front and an adjustable Uni-Trak® rear suspension system helps the KLR®650 motorcycle deliver an all-around composed riding character while front and rear disc brakes help you stop with confidence.
  • RUN SMOOTHLY: Optimized suspension settings, a long swingarm and an integrated rear frame contribute to confident handling, whether on a single track, backroad or interstate highway.
  • FULL STOP: Powerful front and rear disc brakes deliver strong and consistent braking performance throughout your entire ride. The optional anti-lock braking system (ABS) offers additional assurance when riding on lower-friction surfaces.

Comfort and Convenience

  • KEEP COMFORTABLE: The KLR®650 takes comfort and touring potential to the next level while maintaining the highly acclaimed reliability of its predecessor. Optimized frame strength and rigidity, under-the-seat rubber dampers, rubber mounted handlebars and footpegs all contribute to maximum comfort and carrying capacity for long-distance touring.
  • COMFORT IS KING: Increase your riding comfort by combatting wind and weather with the tall two-position adjustable windshield. The optimized handlebar and footpeg positions with rubber mounts provide a relaxed riding position with low engine vibration for maximum comfort. For those long rides, you'll enjoy the rubber-dampened comfort seat with a tapered shape and supple seat cover for maximum bump absorption and ride comfort.
  • CARRY ON: Pack all your essentials with the large aluminum rear carrier and available accessory side and top cases complete with a convenient one-key system. Generous generator capacity offers 80 watts of power, with an output of 26 A, to meet the power needs of grip heaters, fog lamps and other electrical accessories, perfect for your next extended adventure.

Engine

  • ROCK-SOLID POWER: Powered by one of the most reliable and trusted engines in the industry, the KLR®650 dual-sport has a 652cc single-cylinder engine that offers a flat power curve allowing you to cruise at freeway speeds and navigate trails effortlessly. On or off-road, this powerhouse is here for the long haul.
  • EASY STARTING: The KLR®650 motorcycle’s fuel injection system makes for a reliable start, especially when your adventures take you to high altitudes or colder conditions.
  • GO THE DISTANCE: Take your adventure further with the generous fuel range. Fuel injection combined with the large-volume 6.1-gallon fuel tank allow you to go further between fuel stops.
  • STRONG AND POWERFUL: Tackle the trails, navigate through traffic and cruise at highway speeds with strong overall power delivery and powerful mid-range torque. In addition, the modern, single-cylinder engine is proven against the elements and incredibly fuel-efficient, making the KLR®650 motorcycle a highly reliable companion for extended on and off-road travels.

Model Editions

  • UP YOUR ADVENTURE: Make the most of your next adventure by choosing the best KLR®650 suited for your needs. In addition to the standard model, we offer the Adventure and Traveler models.

Styling and Electronics

  • ROBUST STYLE AND NEW TECH: Turn heads with adventure-inspired colors and graphics that have been specifically designed to reflect the bike's tough capabilities and ruggedness. The all-digital multi-function instrumentation will keep you updated at a glance so you can stay in the action.
  • RUGGED GOOD LOOKS: Take on the road with the protector-equipped shroud design that adds functional strength to the tough, adventure style. The side cover, tail cowl, taillight, turn signals and black coated rims add to the robust and aggressive styling of this model. And a bright LED headlight shows you the way when your ride continues past sunset.
