2022 Kawasaki KLR650, 600 Mile Service & Desert Ride Southwest Utah

Title says it all for this one! Did the 600 mile break in service and immediately took the KLR650 out to the desert for a ride to see if I screwed up my motorcycle!

Excellent video, thank you for posting from a new KLR650 adventure ABS owner. Just over 2000 miles since purchasing back in July, 2023 model.

I'm very glad I decided to maintain (the regular stuff anyway) my '22 (same color as yours). At 4300 miles, I've done the first and second oil changes, and this past weekend, swapped on some Shinko 705 tires, which seem far better suited to my highway commute.

Love the channel and love that KLR man. Keep this up and more KLR please!

Nothing like clean oil it’s like a brand new bike all over again. Love the color of your bike desert storm vibe very cool
For the 600 mile service we should check the torque on the axle bolts

G'day m8. Australia Bendigo. New owner and first time licence holder. Klr650 adventurer. Happy for all riders and the ergonomic posture is awesome 👌 👏 👍

[blasaloth]

I appreciate how easy it was to follow the instructions. KLR owners often assume a certain degree of mechanical aptitude that I do not possess. Thank you.

My 9 year old klr still has original foam air filter, on every service I wash it, dry it and oil it, as long as it's not damaged, you don't have to replace it in my view..great video btw, cheers from Australia 👍

Thanks for showing us your 600 mile process. I only have 100 clicks on my new KLR. I did read Wattman's design analysis about the OEM coolant circulation design and concluded I needed to do the Thermo-Bob right away, even before I put any miles on the bike. I installed the -2A version that included a nifty digital LCD temp gage. I really like it. I'm riding my break-in miles in 100+ F weather and I can watch my coolant temp fluctuate between 196 F and 216 F. It's nice to be able to monitor the coolant temp in hot weather. Thanks for your always fun videos!

great chasing !!! sounds like south dakota with the wind lol. enjoy the weekend

Manual calls for several turns to loosen dohicky bolt. You loosen 1/2 turn. The bolt has a long threaded length. Be brave and loosen the bolt and let dohicky swing

You will like the Dirt Racks panier racks. Really well made product. I have the Dirtracks rear rack on my CRF. They are built like a tank bit not too heavy. Great vid as usual. Say Hi to Jen 👍

Looking at that oil I think I will do mine at 300 and then again at 600. That’s a lot of metal in there.

Nice video. I hope you didn't forget to swipe the valve from the used oil filter and put it back into the new one. Didn't mention anything about that.

I notice that you didn't torque anything. I'm not criticizing, I've been ridding for a long time, I'm 70 and I've never used a torque wrench on any of my bikes. Maybe, I'm just getting old, do you think it is time to start using a torque wrench?

[jerryhamilton]

What do you think's creating all that wind just look at the clouds so-called clouds above you

You want 2.5 litres or 2.6 quarts in there. As per the older manuals. 2.1 is not enough.
