I have a 2008 KLR with 80,000 km. No problems at all. It does burn some oil at highway speeds, but not excessive. I have never done the Doo, and I have never heard of a 2008 or newer engine exploding from a faulty Doo, has anyone else?
The only real problem I have had is with the speedo sending unit at the front hub. I have no working speedo or odometer, not a big deal since the GPS handles these duties anyway. I really should look at getting it fixed over the winter.
Change your oil regularly, keep a close eye on the chain and sprockets. Had the valves done last year, they where long overdue. My rear shock and fork springs will be replaced this spring with new Progressive Suspension.
Good luck with your KLR, its a great bike, have fun and ride safe.
