My 90 Tengai only has 9k on it and its in excellent shape. Seeing as though these bikes are relatively rare and there is a high demand for them among the dualsport community, its an easy sell to the right buyer. Are you buying this bike or selling it? Where are you located? Is it stock? Anyways, I would guestimate top dollar around $3000 if its in real nice shape. Mike B2 --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "cchuckie51" wrote:

A "good price" depends if you are selling or buying. Totaled out bikes have gone from $600- $1500, I know a guy bought an 88 for $800, it was kinda rough. But you don't see many tangi's for sale. Are you buying? Is there an aking price? What mods has been done? You need to give some details before anyone could say what a good price would be. --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "cchuckie51" wrote:

the reason i was asking was because i just bought one a 1990 tengia model in eastern pa i haven't seen any in my area at all just dr's an they where all going for about 1500-1800 an they where 350/450cc so i found this one on the concours members page he wanted 1500 but got it for 1400 an then i found this group from the concours group it seems that a lot of guys with a concours al so have these klrs. so was wondering if i got a good price the guy i got it from bought it from dealer last june. was selling because he got new street bike an has no room for two bikes has no garage or shed lives in condo.

Although I can't see the bike, I'd say you probably got a fair deal. Mark

You definately got a good deal, but I got a better one. I actually felt kinda bad giving the seller the money. You will not be dissapointed with your purchase, I love mine. Mike

what is the difference between reg model an tengia

[mrodub]

Check the FAQ's, www.bigcee.com/klr650faq.html. Besides the fairings and lower fender, the only difference I know of is the Tengai's dual-piston front caliper. Mike

The differences on the Tengai compared to the KLR are: -bigger fairing, all bodywork is made of made of painted abs. Unlike The KLR's polyethylene bodywork, abs can easily be repaired with fiberglass or solvent welding -low front fender -stiffer, thicker-walled forks -twin-piston front caliper -20mm larger diameter front disc than KLR -nicer gauges, recessed in fairing rather than mounted on triple clamp -tricker looking skidplate, but more useless than the one on the KLR -nicer passenger peg mounts with built-in protection for rear master cylinder -larger headlight -Ninja turnsignals -front and rear brake caliper & disc covers -shorter forks and shock make the Tengai 1" to 1 1/2" lower than the KLR Mark

-bigger fairing, all bodywork is made of made of painted abs. Unlike The KLR's polyethylene bodywork, abs can easily be repaired with fiberglass or solvent welding I haven't tried it (solvent welding) yet, but will soon. -stiffer, thicker-walled forks Didn't know this -nicer gauges, recessed in fairing rather than mounted on triple clamp they are nice to look at -shorter forks and shock make the Tengai 1" to 1 1/2" lower than the KLR All this time, I thought I was at the same height as all the rest of you.

I have heard a lot about the chain tensioner going bad. My KLR is making a grinding noise that sounds like a bushing issue in the front sprocket area as I drive. This sound comes and goes with about every chain revolution or so. When the bike is on jacks and I spin the back tire the chain is loose until it gets to the area that it makes the noise and the chain gets tight in that part of the rotation. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Cory --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo! Answers users.
