i had to work on one of these bikes a few years back and when i took it out for a ride i was shocked how much this bike lacked in power compared to other 650s i have ridden,atleast an xr650 ,just a twist of the throttle and that bike will stand straight upthe klr waslike someone stuffed a 4 cylinder engine in a monster truck ,far to heavy and underpowered hopefully they have improved on newer models

Nice!! Just wanting to know how do you stop the oil from coming out of the overflow pipe when doing long wheelies? I just found my back tyre covered in oil after a long wheelie,I have installed the MB pcv mod and was sure this would help stop this...

Nice Trying get my KLR 250 to do them but the shocks are so soft I have to stand on back pegs and bounce it up in 1st and then clutch and bounce in second gear

@58781icky The cure is 400 more cc's. =)

@bearhamo haha nice comment,

however i owned a 250 and then a 650 and could bounce both up onto the back wheel with ease.

@58781icky it just takes the right technique, sit it in the power band, lean back chop off the throttle which will compress the forks, then lean back pull on the bars and nail the power all at the same time. give that a shot. its what worked for me on both my KLR's.

My DR650 is alot easier to wheely though. can get it up at 100km/h with no clutch or downchange :D

@mcfear1991 I had an XL 250 20 years ago too. Easy to wheelie. Just gotta know how.

[mcfear1991]

@bearhamo

yeh man, technique is what will work raw power will just get you in trouble.

[f4igrad]

Clutch it and bounce it at the same time. It will come up.

[joubliksemlytie]

Yeh how the hell did you do that...my KLR is std fair enough but you need to be almost standing still to get it up...excuse the punn

[RyanRiopel]

I can barely manage a hop in second gear how do you do it?

[elgroomez]

Looks like he's chopping off the throttle in second with a tug on the handlebars.

hello how you put the kawa high when you drive?do you pull the clutch? and witch gear you have?

[bicylindrico]

Nice. Do you get oil buildup in the airbox? Then running out onto the swingarm?

[displayfireworks1]

Looks cool. What gear you in when you you get that baby up so nice? Also have you ever dropped it trying that?

[displayfireworks1]

Well I guess after two months this question will go unanswered.

[hammerboycb]

I hate it when that happens. By the way, nice videos and I like the green KLR650 you have. :)

I used own a KLR, looks like he's in second. If I remember correctly it's almost impossible to get the front up beyond third.
