KLR 650 Tengai
Hi ;
I´d like to know how reliable may be a klr 650 with 65000 Kms, It has been well treated, aparently, and has a good shape. All service were done in a Kawasaki dealer. How long time the engine will run in a good manner before majors repairs, if I supose that it had been well manteined? Thanks a lot for your help ¡¡¡

The Tengai has a chain synchronising balance shaft with crank, check that and also cam chain has been changed.

The KLR has a great engine and should be fine if properly maintained. If you wanted to absolutely sure you could check the compression, take the head cover off and check the camshafts/valve clearances, look for signs of oil leakage/consumption.
The balancer chain tensioner is a known weak point and should be changed on any KLR. But, if the bike hasn't had it done I wouldn't be too concerned except to be sure that you change it. It's not uncommon for the tensionser to be broken but I haven't heard of an engine being damaged by it yet.
