In my view the xt660z is the better bike. More modern, fuel injected, a bit more power. Both are easy enough to work on.
That said, i liked both - you’re picking between 2 good options.

Hey, thanks for the response. I'm leaning toward the Yamaha more, simply because that maker has a slightly bigger presence here in Argentina. Thus more availability for parts, theoretically.
What upgrades would you recommend for the Yamaha? Suspension?
Due to work, I'm here for the time being. However, due to the rotten economy and the high taxes on motorcycles above 250cc, I can only consider a 90's model of either the KLR or the XTZ. Bikes here sell for 2-3 times what I would pay back home in Texas.
