as the military are now getting their stocks of diesel klr's in i
wonder if they will be selling off their stock of gas powered ones
or if they will just break them up for spare parts?
although im sure they will prob just be sold to some other countries
military.

There are no military gas powered KLRs.
The diesel conversion is carried out by a company in Hesperia CA called
Hayes Engineering (if I remember correctly).
They bump up the compression in the motor and change out some of the body
parts and other misc. pieces.
Dual Star sells off the removed body parts, stock shock, gas tank (they use
an IMS tank), tires, etc.
This whole issue was beat to death on this list a couple of years ago, and
it was covered in Dual Sport News ( > -----Original Message-----

Did you go to the DOD site? They claim those are KLR 250's. Those do
not look like 250's. Got me googling the Marine bikes - low and
behold, they were using KLR 250's for awhile - but I couldn't find out
if the 650's are actually being used in field ops yet. The DOD site
claims these pics were taken during Operation Iraqi Freedom - so we've
got KLR 650's running around Iraq. Wouldn't that be an Adventure
ride!!

These are the folks who set up the gas KLR650 and 250 for military and
Forestry Service use and who are producing the Diesel KLR for the Marine Corp.

Those are most definitely KLR 650's. As far as I know there are no longer
any KLR 250's in service, and these have a rear rack which the KLR 250
does not have. The KLR 250's had a rack with round tubes (added to
militarize the bike since the KLR 250 has no rack from the factory), not
the KLR-style rack with the "handles" that I see on at least one of these
bikes. The gas tank used on the military KLR 250 also has bolt-on shrouds,
rather than the integrated shrouds on the IMS tanks on these bikes.

has info on the military KLR 250's.
