Fantastic Choice

I am sure that with the minimum of maintenance that you will get many happy miles from the KLR.

One thing though. Just in case the previous owner didn't do it it is imperative that you get some blue loctite and go over the bike from end to end securing all the nuts and bolts or you will trail pieces everywhere.

Cheers and happy trails.

Rick

Hi, welcome to here, as no one else has said it so far!

As a thought, you might get more response if you go onto the Kawasaki technical thread rather than in this "which bike" section - people reading this one are not used to those who have made up their mind what bike to own!!!

Cheers,

hi, thank guys for your good energy.

day after day I'm most exiting with the trip, and I buy slowly the stuff I'll need... a pair of vintage onda plastic panniers are coming from USA ebay, last week I bought a pair of msr boots, I have a ktm tank bag...

I'll do everything you guys will tell to me, I'm a newbee so...

That's very kind of you, cheque made payable to Hustler, any currency, equivalent to say €1000 should do for starters.

Thanks very much, and welcome.
