klr 650 : 685 kit

[jeepaviation]

I'm out of Las Vegas. Road temps are really hot in the summer and the commute is murder on engine conditions. My 06 has 30000 miles and is still running fine. There is also another guy in this town that runs a KLR (year? don't know) to Canada and back routinely and had 90000 miles with no engine trouble at last report. I Hope I can keep mine healthy that long also.
