KLX650 riders UNITE

Do you have the tuning data?
klx650R Original fork tuned

What spring. Brand and strengths Nm of kg
Which oil.
How much airchamber.

I could be interested in the forks (does that include triples as well?)
Also in New Zealand Thinking about doing a KLR650 fork swap.

I'd be interested in this as well (including shuim stack data), or maybe even buying the forks. (I'm in NC)

I don't have any of that. I told them the bike was for desert racing for a 200lbs rider weight. They did the work and sent the forks back. I ordered a rear shock at the same time.

I was running sub tanks with the forks as well so I added oil accordingly. That required drilling and tapping the vent hole for the fitting (off the forks). No doubt the forks are due for a service. Need to be flushed at a minimum. I have a second set of OEM R model forks so I can swap the caps if needed.

I decided to bump up to a set of 48mm WP forks and KTM front hub so the OEM forks were still in service when I did the swap. Forks are still in good shape. Straight as far as I can tell.

Didn't realize you were out of the country. I also have a rear hub that's not laced to a rim if you would like to save on shipping.

Would have thought parts were more abundant in in your area considering Kawasaki continued to sell the bike in other countries well after they pulled it from US shelves, or so I thought.

The fork tuner wrote it down, you can ask for a copy, and sell it then with specifications.

Right on. It was done a while ago so hopefully they would still have it on record. I'll give them a call.

Yep i'd be keen on both hubs and i can get them laced up here, they did produce them for a while here however it's not easy finding parts.

Let me know the shipping costs and we can arrange payment, Cheers

The KLX triples weren't needed of course so I can include those with the forks.

Maybe more bikes in circulation means more owners looking for parts. I've heard the bike is really popular in Europe.

Let me get everything wrapped up and boxed properly so I can get a shipping quote.

Sounds good, also keen on the caliper adapter if you still have it. (i can source a disc from here)

Right on. I should have looked at them before posting. I have two R model rear hubs. One is super lace and one is standard lace. I have two R model front hubs. One is super lace and one is standard lace. I also have a C model rear hub with cush drive in standard lace.

I'm going to assume you're only interested in the standard lace hubs. Looks like they're all still laced to rims. I'll unlace them tonight and wrap them. Get back to you on the shipping.

Rocked my KLX650R in a local desert race at Colorado Off Road Extreme near Deer Trail, CO. I placed 3rd in the beginner class. I thought the race was 3 hours and turns out it was 2. I was surprised to see the checker flag. It was a good time though.

Here's a short vid of the "big" finish. Taken on my buddy's cell phone.

Right on. I'll be racing the 650 in a local supermoto race this Sunday. On Aug 4th I'll be back at C.O.R.E. for another desert race. That's assuming the bike is still running.

Speaking of which... anyone have a complete R model motor they're willing to sell? It would be nice if it ran but not entirely needed. It's my intent to do a full rebuild from the bottom up and then do the same to the motor that's currently in the bike. I would post up a pic of the bike but it doesn't look like I rate them yet.

Maybe this will work. Indirect way anyway...

We have to sign up to see your pics, you have them uploaden inside that forum and not in a pichoster like most of us do. So we can not see it.

Damn... sorry about that. That's the only option I have at the moment. It's just a shot of the bike with the sumo wheels. Nothing that hasn't been done already.

Big time lurker this year on this thread and the KLX Yahoo Group Forum. First time poster.

First. BIG THANKS to the contributors to these forums and threads!

I picked up a '95 "R" today near Birmingham in the Deep South. Anybody know this bike?
