2013 Kawasaki KLR 650

The 2013 Kawasaki KLR™ 650 is designed to be the adventurer’s choice that delivers fuel efficiency, cargo-carrying capabilities, effective wind protection and unbelievable value in dual sport category. It is powered by a single-cylinder 651cc four-stroke engine as on previous KLR 650, it provides the perfect power profile to maximize traction, carve through trails or deal with city traffic. The suspension system with 41mm fork with 7.9 inches of suspension travel up front, and a Uni-Trak® linkage system providing 7.3 inches of wheel travel in the rear combine to make functional commuter. In the same class such as Honda XR650L, Suzuki DR650SE, and Yamaha XT660X, the braking duties are handled by a dual-piston caliper gripping a 280mm petal-style disc in the front, and a 240mm petal-style disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper in the rear. An expansive, saddlebag-friendly, rear luggage rack that can be fitted with a tail bag helps to make it a worthy touring companion. A tough engine guard keeps loose rocks for long-distance exploration, and enjoying ride on and off-road adventures. Learn more detail specification and features on 2013 Kawasaki KLR™ 650.
