klr650 service manual?
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2001 6:23 pm
by Greg Paul
I bought a '97 KLR650 about a week ago. Went to a Kawa dealer to buy
a Clymer manual. Per the salesman, no such animal. Per the
salesman, the OEM service manual is much better anyway and he just
happens to have one available for $45. Here's the goop... The manual
says on the front KLR600. Flip it over and it says 1984. It also
has a part number of 99924-1050-01. Per the salesman this is
the "base" manual and the factory adds "new" info to a supplement you
can buy for another $30. Being the trusting sort I bought the
Service Manual and will wait on the supplement.
Do I smell a rat or is there just something stuck in my nose? Any
help will get you and your bike a cruise around the world for 120
days and stops at any ports of your choice...... maybe.

I can't remember what I paid ($35?) for the base (KLR600) manual but
I don't think it was $45. The supplement is part #99924-1080-55 year
87 to 95. I think it costs $25. Go to
www.buykawasaki.com and look
under "parts" for your KLR. they have the manuals listed. I think
Kawasaki discontinued the 96 - ** manual. don't know why. It was
listed on there web site but not now.

The Kawasaki website list the KLR600 manual for $36.95 and you can
buy it direct. no supplenment listed. Looks like you have a dealer
that can't be trusted. Good news is it only cost you $8.00 (45-36.95)
to find that out. Better then paying $200 for a fake valve adjustment.

No, the dealer is right (for a change on this list), there is a
supplement and it IS needed. Prices may vary slightly from dealer to
dealern and region to region.
I've got a 96 and I have both the base manual and the supplement and
have used both of them in tinkering with my big leggo.

It isn't as bad as $8. I recall paying buykawasaki an additional $5-
10 for shipping and handling.

Seems like your salesman is giving you the straight dope. I have the
manuals, you DO need the KLR 600 + supplement. I paid $ 75.00 (CDN ) for
both.

While "Sears Cataloging" the arrowheadmotorsports web page, and
looking for the Pro Gel Grips(very happy with them), I'm pretty sure I
saw the Base and Supplement manuals listed. I don't remember the
prices, but I'm pretty sure they were comparable or better than the
kawasaki website prices.

BTW, bought the Renthol soft grips from the dealer and ordered the pro
grips from Fred a week later at almost half the price even w/shipping.
The Renthol grips didn't feel much better than stock, but the pro
grips seem to have made quite a bit of difference in absorbing the
engine vibration.
Very Much a New Rider again and just my personal observation.

Greg: The supplement manual does exist, because I saw
one one time. However, buying one is another story.
You can get the base manual anywhere, but the
supplement manual seems to be scarce. I have been
waiting for an eternity to get the one I ordered from
DualStar. I hope to have it some day (That's a subtle
hint to Dual Star), so I can start using some of these
maintenance tips I have been reading on this list.
I have never liked doing my own maintenance, but I
have learned the hard way that dealers seldom follow
the factory maintenance procedures. I have never met
a Kawasaki mechanic that saw any need to check the
valves at the 500 mile inspection interval. I bet few
of them ever do it unless you are standing there
watching them.
My 500 mile inspection on my A15 cost me $108.00. I
figure I got an oil and filter change for that money,
and a record of required maintenance which will be of
benefit only if I have a warranty claim. I have no
doubt in my mind that they never checked the valves.
Many mechanics take shortcuts anywhere they can when
nobody is looking. Sometimes that is OK, but
sometimes it is not. Only way to take the guesswork
out of it is to learn how to do it yourself. Now, If
I just had that supplemental manual......
