I'm currently getting 150km from 10-11 litres which was a nasty shock to me after my 125. That just seems to be the way it is and seems good compared to other bikes anyway.

I've just changed my tyres from the stock Dunlop Trailmax after wearing them out in 2500km. 50/50 dual sport tyres don't seem to last long on the road, so after much research and fretting, I've switched to Avon Distanzias which seem OK so far, but I haven't even run them in yet. They certainly look the part.

tires and bad luck
 
a tire seller talked me into buying a rather expensive set of bridgestone tires, suitable for on and off road but mostly for on. the bad luck hting is that i changed also the front disc and the seller gave me a disc for klr.i didnt look, i had it placed and i made use of it and tomottow i'll find out if i can get any of my money back (the kle disc is 300mm while the klr one is 252mm, sadly i learnt that a little too late)

mine takes 6,5 -6,7/100km in city traffic with a lot of stops and starts .... at long trips an on highways is at 4-5/100 km

As tires I have MITAS - are cheap and a good quality/price .... I have those tires for two years on my bike and are ok

Service manual kle 500?
 
At last!
Hi there, i been looking for a sevice manual and some other facts regarding the kle 500 -91 for a very long time. It seems to me that i finally found a place where the kle 500 is a well known bike! I saw that some of you have these manuals on youa harddrives and i was wondering if you would like to send one to me aswell? I´m also interested in a mechanical handbook for the kle in pdf. If anyone of you could provide me with this i would be very grateful. Have a nice day! / Daniel (Sweden):thumbup1:

U can reach me at jannil-2@student.ltu.se or kungafalvik@hotmail.com

Weak spots on the KLE 500 according to me...
 
The engine on a KLE 500 is bulletproof from what i´ve heard. Spareparts are easy to find when the engine is nearly the same in gpx 500 and er 500. (this means that u can earn 10 hp using parts from the gpx niiiice!) That will of course be on behalf of the tourqe. Anyway as long as you make regular oil changes you have nothing to fear from the engine. The only thing that need extra care is the drivetrain from what i´ve heard. The KLE is a perfect bike for longer trips in my opinion. Low insurance cost and low gas bill. The only negative thing with it according to me is the haaaaaard saddle. / Daniel:thumbup1:
