Hello Folks,
I just bought a '98 KLR650 with 4900 road miles on it. I'll be
riding it home on Wednesday and going out one evening this week to
ride the Brush Mt fire road near Blacksburg, Virginia.
My other ride is a Honda '00 ST1100, which will be one year old
tomorrow and has 19,600 miles on it, mostly long distance trips.
My plans for the KLR include exploring all those fire roads and jeep
trails here in Appalachia that my ST doesn't really like.
Hope to run into some ya'll out there somewhere.
Ride safe,
Chris Hall, cdhall@v...
STOC 1547
'00 ST1100A
'98 KLR650
Blacksburg, Virginia

Hi Chris,
Welcome! I'm glad to see another rider with the same cycle combo. My bikes
are a '99 KLR(A13) and a bright red '97 ST1100.
Good luck,
Jim

I have exactly the same cycle combo - 99KLR and a 97ST. I have been
tracking the list for several years now, and KLR's and ST's are
surprisingly common stable mates.

Well, me too. Only mine is a Triumph Sprint ST.
I reckon the dual-purposeness of the Sport Tourer appeals to the Dual
Sport-er in us.
It's amazing how after a long ride on the ST, my KLR seems like a toy.
And after a ride on the KLR, my ST seems like a freakin rocket.
Living on a dirt road, it can pretty hairy on the Sprint... Don't sneeze in
first gear, unless you want to throw roost a mile...

Hi Randy,
It is interesting that this combo is common. I guess versatile bikes have
such a universal appeal that they are irresistible.
Good to hear from you.
Jim

Hi everyone/ I've been reading the posts here for a few weeks - just picked
up an '02 A16 yesterday. I also have a '96 GPZ1100 ABS and the wife has a
Super Sherpa '03. It's been difficult for us to ride together therefore the
new KLR for me. The bike was an insurance recovery (stolen) and appears to
be great engine and frame wise but the cosmetics need some work.
I've already checked with my local stealer and RonAyers.com - I'm hoping
maybe someone on the list will have some of these parts laying around they'd
be willing to sell. Looks like I'll need a gas tank for an 02, the radiator
shrouds and front fairing are pretty bad also. Side panels might be
replaced depending on how they clean up.
I'm not a new rider - I've had several dirt bikes (the last being a Yamaha
DT400) but it's been a few years since I've been on the trails. I live in
Bakersfield, CA (the 'Bake' is in the name for a GOOD reason) - anyway I'm
looking forward to being an active member of the list (and learning the
KLR).

Tom,
Congrats on your 'new' ride.
The very parts you are looking for are currently on eBay at decent prices.
These items are take-offs from military conversions that an outfit named
cncace puts up.
Search for KLR 650 on eBay.
Hope this helps.

Hi Tom, welcome to the list. I'm pretty new to the KLR also, and guess what?
My wife and I have the same bikes! I think there are at least 3 more people
on list with both KLR-650 and Sherpa.
My street ride is a ZRX-1200. I ride the KLR a lot more often!
Bakersfield... wow.... I would love to ride my KLR up to Johnsondale and
beyond. But, my bike(s) are here in PA. We have a house in Lemoore (Kings
County), but the only vehicle out there is a Toyota Corolla.
If I ever spend much more time in CA, you betcha I'll have a KLR out there
too. I'd love to do Death Valley and the Sierras. Someday soon, I'm going
to....
Mike
