Hi all.
It's been allmost 3 months and 3500km since I got my KLR.
I just noticed that I can lock the steering and that there is also
a park position. It's labeled P. When I put the key in that position
the rear light comes on. Why? Does anybody have a explanation for
that. I would have looked in th Owner's Manual but I don't have it.
Just curious.
Thanks.

Raz,
Kawasaki implemented the PARK position in a secret agreement
with battery manufacturers to sell more batteries to
inattentive owners who leave the parking light on accidently
and fully discharge their batteries.
All kidding aside, it's a safety feature to make your bike
more visible to inattentive car drivers when you've pulled
over to the side of the road.
