Kawasaki Other description

This KLR has been the the same owner for 14 yrs since new. He was/is a serious enthusiast who at any 1 time has three or 4 bikes in the stable and they all get farkled/ridden. This '650 is no exception to that rule with 13k miles and a slew of tasty/useful mods.The bike was set up right out of the gate for adventure touring. The pics essentially tell the story but the short list goes something like this:~Laser ProDuro exhaust.~Dynojet carburetor jetting upgrade.~K&N air filter.~Doohickey mod.~Dirt-Bagz panniers with frame kit.~Larger rear luggage rack.~Rear fender extension.~Progressive rear shock absorber and spring. Not a redone stock shock, an entirely new unit.~Stiffer fork springs with better valving and heavier weight oil.~Fork leg gaiters.~Front big brake upgrade with braided steel line.~Aluminum fork brace.~Acerbis hand protectors.~Aftermarket handlebar grips.~Rubber covers on the clutch and front brake levers.~Folding tip aftermarket shift lever.~Aluminum skid shield.~Compass.~Plastic throttlelock.~Rich's custom saddle.~Centerstand added with a padded nylon "helper" pull up strap.~Factory "Kawasaki KLR650" decals removed with clear paint protection film applied in high wear areas.This KLR is jetted as well as any I have ever tried. It runs/rides fantastic. It does not smoke or use oil excessively. A stock KLR compared to this 1 is a quivering mass of jello that is still warming up on choke while you are tearing it up in Baja. The little beastie has been fanatically maintained by the owner in his private shop where he has a lift and an extensive tool collection. Cosmetically it is probably the nicest older example a person is likely to find. Unless the bike was on the road in the line of duty, it was parked in a heated garage. There are signs of use and imperfections here and there. Clearly it was never pre-owned for serious trail riding or dirt thrashing. Given the type of machine it is and its intended use I think there will be no disappointments.One fork seal was barely weeping so I just had both sides redone by Walter Myers. The tires I would estimate are at 50% life remaining. The bike needs nothing other than a new owner with plans to hit the road and/or trail.Includes one factory key, the owners manual, toolkit, Clymer repair manual, factory Kawasaki manual, jet kit remains and a Crown Royal bag with new inner tubes.call/text Kie at Red Label Moto

Put a sting in your 2010 Z1000's tail

Fri, 19 Feb 2010

SCORPION has released an all-new new silencer for the 2010 Kawasaki Z1000.   The slip-on silencer requires no additional modifications: bolt on and go.Consistent power improvements throughout the rev range have been seen, with no adjustments to the fuelling, say Scorpion, with an average increase 3bhp.The new silencer has been acoustically developed to provide a greatly enhanced engine note.  This means the bike will be as loud as the original in terms of a dB reading, but the exhaust note offers a deeper growl. However, removable baffles allow the rider to dramatically alter the tone of the exhaust by simply removing one bolt per silencer.

Small-Displacement Class Considered for 2015 AMA Pro Racing Season

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

More and more manufacturers are entering the small-displacement sportbike market and AMA Pro Racing has taken notice, opening the possibility of adding a new racing class representing the growing segment. With plans to consolidate the Daytona Sportbike and Supersport classes and the Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson series signed through 2015, a spot will open up on race weekends for another racing class to support the premier Superbike Championship. The logical choice is to introduce a new small-displacement class.
