Sorry about the mixed messages I ment XR650L not a KLR650L that does not
exist.
I'm going to check out a used 1994 XR650L with 9000 miles tomorrow. Does
anyone have any adivce on problem areas to look for and what to examine
carefully?
Thanks,
Justin

Justin,
I assume from this question that you are a new rider. Is this your first
bike? Make sure it fits you. The XR is a tall bike, made for someone with a
fair amount of experience. There are some nice 350-400cc bikes to be had out
there.
Are you buying from a dealer, or individual? A dealer should provide the
name and number of the previous owner. Either way, take along someone who
knows bikes, not just a friend. Compare prices to other used bikes. Check
the book value, like kbb.com or edmunds.com.
Whatever you do, take your time to buy. Shopping for a bike can be part of
the fun of riding. Remember, once your money is spent, it stays spent. If
you pay too much for a bike, your cost per smile will be higher.
