Confused KLR – 2005/2008 Kawasaki KLR650 Supermoto

In Custom, Dual-Sport, Japan by AbhiLeave a Comment

There’s a lot of custom KLRs out there – but typically when a KLR owner throws money at his or her bike, it’s to make it more dirt-friendly. This seller has gone in a slightly different direction, as he’s turned it into a fat-tired supermoto. To be frank, I’m not sure it makes sense…but it’s unique enough to share.

Kawasaki KLR650 Supermoto - Right Side

This bike started as a 2006 model but it’s been updated with 2008 bodywork, then given a graphics kit from an older KTM. The supermoto conversion includes KYB forks from a ’05 Yamaha YZ450 MX bike, and the 17″ wheels and brakes from a Honda CBR600. Other features include a DanMoto slipon, Trailtech computer, Renthal bars, Acerbis guards with aluminum Barkbusters, Giant Loop tank bag, Emgo trunk, and more. The bike needs new tags and there’s some popping on decel so you may want to play around with the jetting, but otherwise this bike is ready to go…assuming you know what you want to do with it.
