nklr - purchased ninja 250

[Dale Steele]

Hey gang: I have an opportunity to pick up a 93 klr650 that needs at least a little work. I'm including what I know so far, what I'd like is a little advice on what I should be on the lookout for. This would be my first bike in a long while not counting the 89 250 rebel I helped my daughter get recently. I''m looking for something reliable for long backroad rides and some dirt... ----> "1993 Black and Green Kawasaki KLX-650 with 24,000 miles. Scott Shocks, Renthal Handlebars, Supertrapp Exhaust. New Chains and Sprockets last summer. Bike rides great, but needs tune up - throttle tends to stick between 2-3000 rpms when shifting down to first. $1300 obo." -----> Thanks in advance for any tips.

David, Ah what memories? A Ninja 250. Splendid little anti-beast that churns out 2 bhp less than the KLR 650 (but somewhat less torque!). So you have to rev the gonads off it to get them. Redline is at 14,000 rpm AFAIR. I had no problems with mine except for a warped front brake rotor (disk). Cheers, -- Simon (Wondering why Happy Trails are taking soooooo long to fill my order for a NW rack and a bash plate)
