KLE - Black and Grey
Hey,
I love my KLE, I have done about 13,500 km in the last 2 years. I have put better tyers on and put the "speny" up a noch at the back for a better position and I have some soft panniers for the missions. I tried to put some better hand guards and found that my kle bars were not hollow so the Accerzbid whatevers would not go on. Also looked like the windscreen could get smashed from them if the bike went over coz they stuck out so much further. I will maybe get some wider bars sorted eventually.
Its a great bike.. especially when your on the motor way and it cuts out on you when you have to switch over to the reserve tank, haha. Thats always fun.
I need to get my chain sorted its V dirty and jammed in parts from all the dust! I want to clean it or even replace it. Does anyone have recommendation for the spray grease that I have been using? Is it good or is chain lube / oil necessary?
Cheers,
Cardy (Yorkshire)

Great pic Althasaur and a great use of KLE. I wonder whether it was shot from a chopper?
This is my first post. But instead of giving detailed background info, I prefer posting a couple of pics. Perhaps I might introduce myself later.
Some tough riding back in the old days.
Yeah, now what.
Homemade oversized screen challenging the GS.
My wife enjoying the ride.

 Hi from sunny ZA
I am currently the owner of my second KLE500. The first pic is of my 1991 KLE500. Got it second hand with 20000km on and put on just over 20000km. Bike had K&N type pod filters, open Gianelli pipe, ported and 0.5mm oversized sleeve. Felt significantly more powerful than my current 2006 KLE500. Unfortunately I found out the motor was damaged before I got her, resulting in a top end disaster.
Replaced the bike with a 2006 KLE500 (second pic). Feels underpowered compared to the old one. Have to replace the restrictive pipe. Fitted an Aerotrim ( aerotrim.co.za - About Us) this weekend - only did low speed gravel riding <110 km/h, so have not checked whether it helps for buffeting I've been experiencing with a pilion on at speeds >130km/h. The old KLE was no problem beyond 150km/h, without a screen. Anyone else experience buffeting problems?
