KLE manual

Hello there.

The KLE has basically only changed cosmetically. The manual should be fine for any model. It is the manual for the 500, and I am using it for the 400. 95% of the 2 bikes are the same, so the manual works good enough.

Regards

Owner's manual for KLE 500 needed

I live in France and I'm studying for my "permis moto." I just learned that I get docked a point on the exam if I can't show my owner's manual! Does anyone have--or could copy--an owner's manual for a KLE 500?

It's easy to find the workshop manual online, but I've never seen the owner's manual on ebay or anywhere else.

My bike is a year 2000 but I'll take whatever year anyone has. I'd be happy with English or French. Will pay for photocopying and postage, if you can't sent it online.

Thumbs up KLE 500 Service Manual

HI Guys, Just joined up to this forum while trying to find a service manual for my KLE 500 1994 model year A4.

I've just got into biking and only bought the bike last month, needed a new exhaust I have put on a remus innovation but now has 'back fire' on slowing down, also I think it is running too rich (needs no choke at all to get it started) so need to adjust the settings on the carb. If Its possible to email me the manual that some users have it would be greatly appreciated. tyrone.williams@tiscali.co.uk

Some of the info I have read so far on this bike make me think i got a great first bike.

I'm not sure what the exhaust system is you have put on your bike, but the chances are it is less restrictive than standard, so the back firing is more likely to be the engine running lean on over-run. I have just bought a 2006 model, I suspect the motor is strangled by all the emission gubbins, so am expecting the same problem myself shortly!

Hi,
Am new in the world of KLE500's with a spanky new 2006 model.
I have tried downloading the manual, but Ozhanu's seems to be a .RAR file, not a clue how to read it, all the others either don't recognise the link or are in a language I cannot understand! Can anyone put a link up for an easy to read manual for the Luddites amongst us !!
cheers

Hi,

it was in rar format. rar is a very common compression format and software. it works like winzip. i think you know what winzip is. you simply upload and install winrar to you computer and that is. the language of the server is english. i dont know how you managed to see different language.

anyway, i have also uploaded pfd format of the manual just now.

click to the following link to download for beginners

http://rtw.ozhanu.com/docs/kle500manual.pdf to download. It is 7.2mB and takes a bit of time to open it.

hope this works for you.

enjoy
