New 2023 KLR owner here. I have riden towards the end of the day and dusk and I have used my high beam during this time. It seems that the high beam hits the bottom of the trees (higher than low beam) and needs to be adjusted. Have you had to adjust your high beam?
I didn’t know Hank Hill rode motorcycles let alone a KLR! lol, you sound exactly like him. I bought a 2023 KLR 650 Adventure ABS last month and have been learning and loving it. I am trying to extend my distance to work up to an Iron Butt Association ride. Great video and thank you for posting.
What was the Garmin GPS part number?
Man I have no idea. It’s been too long since I messed with it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and I hope you have a blessed weekend. Dale.
I have been wanting to do an iron butt out to see my parents since I got my klr last year but haven't been able to afford it yet but as soon as I can I am going to do it from central Texas to Las Vegas Nevada. This video reminded me to put rain gear on the list thank you
Hahah. Yeah rain gear comes in handy for sure. Be safe and rested before you go. I don’t reccomend it. Funner to just take it easy. Dale.
Got me one for my 2022 klr 650 adventure too
They are so fun. I have the secondary mount in my jeep. Thanks for watching my friend. Dale.
You know, I never thought about the headlights. I'm a pretty heavy fella, 6'3" 280lbs without gear. I get people flashing me all the time because of my headlights. I checked with your method, my headlights were WAY too high, and my high beams were, as you stated, were up in the trees! I'm a new rider (less than 6 months). I have adjusted things and I haven't had the same problem sense! Thank you for all the information! Great video!
You’re very welcome buddy. Glad it helped. Have a blessed week. Dale
Have a 2013 KLR , bought it new . Going to the Hills in South Dakota for a week and a half of September riding. I did Montana and Wyoming with it on and off road and it did great great! Ran great at 10,000 ft also. Built like a tank !
They are so fun. That is a beautiful area you are riding g as well. Maybe one day I will Make it up there.
Hey man u still kickin? Been awhile since I seen a vid. I finally bought a '24 KLR ADV in matte blue, glad I waited for that color. Love it!
Hahaha. Yea sir. I’m good. It has been too long. Church, teaching, flooding etc. it’s been a crazy year so far. Hopefully I will be back at it soon. Thanks for checking on me and congrats to you my friend. That’s awesome.
On any ride, focus on the journey more than the destination. That will help you enjoy the whole trip in general. BUT, I also understand that if you HAVE to be somewhere. TIME It accordingly. I'm a new owner of a '24 KLR650 Adventure model. I wont ever try to go over 70 on it unless I have to pass. At least that what is what I will TRY to do.
Amen. I so agree. Well said and thank you.
Not sure about your area, but around me if someone flashes their highbeams at you it typically means they're letting you go. I would have cars pulling out in front of me constantly if I flashed them like that.
Yeah. Around here it’s gets people’s attention. Thanks for sharing this it may come in handy
Hola y gracias por el video. Te escribo desde España. Tengo una KLR 650 del 2008. Y soy experto en motocicletas. En mi opinion parece que Kawasaki despidio a sus mejores ingenieros. El nuevo modelo es realmente una catastrofe de rediseño de una moto que funcionaba muy bien, pero que ya necesitaba cambios muy importantes. Han cometido innumerables errores de diseño, han quitado laa cosas que si estaban bien y han puesto muchas cosas muy mal. No entiendo como los altos directores y presidente de Kawasaki no tienen verguenza ajena por estafar a miles de motoristas que han confiado en su marca y venden un nuevo modelo que en mi opinion es una autentica Basura. Yo como experto en preparacion y diseño de motos podria realizar la mejor trail del mundo si tubiese apoyo financiero sobre la base de una KLR 650 modelos desde 2008 al 2018. Y cuando digo la mejor no hablo de un diseño mas; si no de una moto imbatible en todos los sentidos. El mundo esta lleno de cretinos y es una triste noticia ver como han destruido la que considero la mejor moto del mundo. Si la KLR 650 Salio al mercado en 1987 kawasaki deberia pensar en evolucionar su diseño. Y si ya no tienen buenos ingenieros es muy facil hacer las cosas bien, tan solo deberian preguntar a los cientos de miles de motoristas que tienen una KLR sobre que mejorarian. Por dar algunos ejemplos. 1. Hacer un chasis de aluminio 7075 con sub chasis desmontable. 2. Un motor con una carrera mas larga para incrementar mucho mas el par en bajos. 3. Añadir una sexta velocidad esto es realmente necesario. 4. Mejorar la estabilidad de la moto en alta velocidad. 5. Alargar distancia del asiento. 6. Poner un nuevo sistema de carburador hibrido que permite una inyeccion mecanica y no electronica. 6. Quitar absolutamente toda la electrónica. 7. Mejorar al 100% la aerodinamica. 8. Modificar las cadenas de distribucion y del equlibrador por correas dentadas. 9. Poner doble bujia para que el piston queme mas homogeneamente el combustible. 10. Dar una opcion de moto hibrida que pueda funcionar con propano. 11. Cambiar el deposito de combustible y colocarlo debajo del asiento, asi se podria colocar el filtro de aire y componentes de gas debajo de un falso deposito. 12. Poner luces de emergencia. 13. Mejorar al 100% todo el cuadro de relojes. Con rpm, nivel de combustible, presión de aceite, velocimetro y temperatura del agua. 14. Mejorar al 100% todo el sistema de refrigeracion con doble radiador y sistema automatico de control de temperatura. 15. Mejorar el asiento en estética y ergonomia. Bien algunos deben pensar que esto costaria mucho dinero y no necesariamente. Soy el inventor Luis Burgos un saludo.
Thanks Dale
Awesome
Thank you so much brother, I Hope you have a blessed week. Dale

I so agree. It’s a basic utility bike for sure. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and sorry about the delay I. The reply. Been working with internet issues slowly but surely hope to get it all back soon. Have a blessed week and happy trails to you my friend. Dale.
@@Heartlanddualsport love your channel. I have a 2022 KLR (and I love it)
The colour is great. Unfortunately, the video wasn't very good. Repeated close-ups and no full bike shots. I couldn't see the whole effect of the red against the bike. Cheers
Yeah, some times in life, we do the best we can and it will never be good enough for everyone, hence the reason this channel is small. I accept it as a fact and thank you for so clearly pointing it out. Criticism like this often help others become more productive in life. You just never know who may read this comment and It will motivate them to do more. Thank you and I truly hope you have a blessed week. Dale
@Heartlanddualsport Just my opinion, I love honest comments because it helps us to improve and do better. I appreciate the effort that people put into these videos. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Cheers
I really like the style of this rain gear. Just wondering tho, how well it fits over protective gear? Is it best to size up? Thanks for sharing!
Yes, it is pretty good stuff, I would most defiantly say you need to size up if you plan to wear it over protective gear which in my opinion is a very smart all. Especially if you are riding in the rain, the protective gear is probably more important than the rain gear when the roads are wet and slick. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and.I hope you have a blessed week. Dale
@@Heartlanddualsport Excellent! Thank you for following up. 😊
Your video is a saving grace. Unbelievably annoying how Honda does things on this vintage. I hear the newer models are easier. I didn’t realize my accessory outlet didn’t come with the full harness. Just the first pig tail, so after tearing everything apart, I ended up just tying it in directly to the battery. Your video was great though so thanks.
Oh man, thank you so very much, when I was making this video I had no idea how many people would end up watching it hahha, I would have picked out a better outfit hahhaha, Thanks again and have a blessed week. Enjoy your AT, they are awesome bikes. Dale
Great video. I never thought about the difference between Snell and DOT. I did buy a good Shoei full face helmet though. I also wear all the riding gear on my Adventure bike as well with my Can Am Spyder 3-wheeler which most people riding 3 wheelers don't have much gear at all. I guess they think they can't have an accident. Good luck with the new job. I'm retired and I am thinking about getting me a part time job to help get things paid off. Keep them videos coming.
Thank you so much for the kind words, No sir, I had not either until I was dong research on the mountain bike helmets. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and sorry for the delay in the reply, I am always running behind. dale
I have the same klr I went from ni to Athens ga not one problem. All yeses no complaints that's a eight hundred mile plus mile trip mine you I have all heavy crash guards and skid plate and hand guards heavy inner tubes and motoz tractionater tires all heavy stuff and heavy battery
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment and I so agree, for what the bike is, it is truly awesome and I so happy with it. Thanks again for sharing your story with us and I hope you have a blessed week. Sorry for the delay in my reply, I am always running behind. dale
Did affect your throttle adjustment?
Not a bit, the cables are long enough from the factory for this shorter riser,. Thanks for watching and have a blessed week. Dale
Stay and go easy.
hahah, that is what we did, I am such a dork, this was suppose to be on my other channel, oh well, good times. Thanks and have a blessed week. Dale
Heck yea, I’d stay it’s a beautiful area!
hahah, we did, we caught a lot of fish, took them home and had a fish fry. Thanks for watching old friend, I hope you and your family are doing well. Happy Fathers day sir. Dale
@@Heartlanddualsport awesome! Our favorite fish is perch, no better eatin. We are enjoying Arizona, endless off road trails here and the mountains are cool. Happy Father’s Day buddy!
Once outdoors always stay.
I so agree, we stayed, caught fish, took them home and had a nice little fish fry. Thanks for watching and commenting and have a blessed week. Dale
Just found this video, and while I am looking at a 2016 KLR 650, I am wondering about lowering the bike. I have a question, as I normally ride cruisers, but my question is when lowering the height of the KLR, using the lowering links, would it be required of using the lowering shocks as well? I can ride a 32 inch seat height, but the KLR has a seat height just over 35. Secondly, if only using the links, would it make the suspension less forgiving for a daily commuter? For reverence, I am 6 feet, and 250 pounds.
Excellent question and I will start by saying this, I am 6 foot and a little more than 200 pounds give or take depending on how much I am outside. I have found with my weight, I am very comfortable with the stock suspension because there is enough swish in it, I can stand flat footed on the bike with my riding boots on,. Flip flops, which I would never ride in, I have to tippy toe. SO with the boots on, I am comfortable with the seat height. Something to think about and I will say this, since you are already thinking about it. I think you can actually , because I have done it on my cousins bike who was shorter, like 5-10, we put the lower links on his rear, loosened up the triple tree and lowered the front a. smidge.to level it back out if the makes sense. I am no mechanic and I am no suspension guru, but like you have asked, should.something be done to adress the rake angle by lowering the read and I agree it should be, this is one of the cheaper options if that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and I hope you have a blessed week. If you are dad, happy fathers day as well. Dale
I got the adventure 2024 and i wish i didn't because i replaced the plastic paniers that can break when you drop bike (which anyone will do at some point) with the tusk Olympus and no matter what crash bar you buy, you almost always have to remove the flimsy top crash bars, which i replaced with the tusk so to me, there is no reason to get the adventure from the get go, but just the base model. I do love my KLR, i just went overboard.
I soarer there is some benefits to all three models. Thank you for taking the time to watch and share this with us all. I appreciate the feedback and I Hope you have a blessed week Dale
6thgear and fix the oil consumption and it would be unbeatable, but not enough power.
Ha, Thanks for taking the team to watch and comment, sorry for the delay in reply I just now seen this. I hope you have a blessed week. Dale
Comparing a now $15,000+ bike with a $6,499 bike.....seriously?
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It truly helps this little channel out. Thank you and have a blessed week. Dale.
Geez give us a lower 1st gear and add 6th gear. It’s 2024

Wow man great review. I just got the 2024 klr650 Adventure ABS, after getting tired of Rrbuilding the DRZ400 engine...so much nicer on the highway, and I love the 2024 gteen color scheme. Can't wait to get out and make some content. Foglight switch should be integrated with the lights on the left. Also an ABS cutoff would be nice.
Oh thank you so much for the kind words my friend. Sorry for the delay. It normally don’t take me 10 days to reply. Missed this one somehow. Thanks again and congrats on your new bike. You’re gonna love it. Dale.
Turn the headlight adjuster screw clockwise to lower the lights and most KLR seem to come with lights way too hi
Thank you sir. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and I Hope you have a blessed weekend. Dale
Very helpful and the headlight is golden advice. I brought a new KLR and I am getting flashed by oncoming traffic on Lo beam Lighting up trees with my hi beam…
Thank you for the kind words my friend it is truly appreciated. I hope you enjoy your new bike and have a blessed weekend. dale

Oh thank you so much brother in blue. Yes sir, I ended up working there about 3 months or so. I got tired of standing in the rain with no lunch break. hahhaa. I am back at the house working from home working on making fishing lures and jigs, just trying to make a little extra money here from the house. It is a good time to be back at home. hahha, I am also working the other channel trying to build it up as well. Thanks again for your support and kindness and I hope you have a blessed weekend my friend. dale
Bought mine 2 weeks ago. Enjoyed your video about the bike.
Thank you so much for the kind words and Congrats to you on your new bike. I hope you love yours as much as I enjoy mine, One of the best all around bikes every made. Thanks again and have a blessed weekend. Dale
Helmet free option here in Pa , but I use a cheapo color matched to my KLR nevertheless. I have a rib that still sticks out from laying my xs11 special down when I accidentally hit the gas too hard leaving a stop sign 20 yrs ago. My belief is that if you get in a wreck and hit something solid on a moving bike, you're screwed by any measure anyway. So yeah I wear a helmet, but WON'T wear hard core goofy looking suits or boots. If I die I wanna look cool doin it. edit - and I'm cheap.
I agree on so many points of this. The Idea, I believe is making us to feel safer as the rider, but like you mentioned, you hit something solid especially if you are going any speed at all, I dont think in the end much will matter, your gonna get jacked up. Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts with us and I hope you have a blessed week. Dale
Always helpful videos! Thank you!
Thank you so ,much my friend. I hope you have a blessed week and stay safe out there. Dale
I had cruise control on my Road King, I didn't have it on my Africa Twin, or my Himalayan, I didn't miss it. For me a full day is 500 miles (800 km). Everybody is different and it also depends on the road your riding. I don't think there is a gravel road that I have traveled that I would use a cruise control on. I like the variety of shots in this video are great but the quality of the video is very rough. Maybe think about increasing the data rate or updating your cameras.
Thank you so much for the kid. Words brother. It truly means a lot. I could not with this internet in the country do higher resolution videos. I do appreciate at your concern and will do what I can when I can. I am about to scrap this channel and making 4K videos is not in the budget. I am a one man show and making less than 300 bucks a year it don’t make sense to continue to make higher quality videos. I do apppreciate what you are saying hug brother if we could meet for coffee one day. I could sure find your ear on some ideas about all this stuff on CZcams. Hahah. I started it for one reason. Tried to make money with it for another reason and at this point I am so far in the red it don’t make sense to continue it. Hahahah. Thanks again and I hope you have a blessed weekend. I hope you get the shots you need for something that will keep you motivated. Dale.
I bought 1 too
Ha. They are great bikes for what they are. Enjoy my friend and keep us posted. Dale.
Good video,!
Thank you so much. Sorry for the delay brother. I hope you have a blessed weekend. Dale.
I know KLR guys spending $$ on fork mods to stiffening up their front ends. What I do is install shraider valves (air valves) to my caps. You will have infinite adj.from 0=35 lbs.my dealer charged me 34$ each verses $150+ for shorter springs and the trouble putting them in, , just drill and tap, with an air pump,no tool needed.8=10 psi.dont go more than 35 psi, and your seals will be fine !
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. I hope you have a blessed weekend. Dale.
I thought he said 14,000 mile review.
Hahaha. No sir. I hope you have a blessed weekend. Dale.
Looking at them. You may have sold me. Very honest review
Thank you so much. Sorry for the delay. I hope you have a blessed weekend and keep us posted on what you decide. Dale.
I have never owned a motorcycle ever have ridden them before. I’m in my mid half century. I don’t plan on any Evel Knieval riding. We recently had a local shop opened up and saw the KLR650 Adventurer loaded. I was lucky enough to be able to test ride one. I was really nervous since it had been over 20yrs riding a motorcycle. So really wet behind the ears when it comes to motorcycles. However I do ride a lot road cycles with pedals. The difference is the engine. My first concern was starting from a start. What I found out it just doesn’t jump. Very smooth start and able to go. We rode around the neighborhood getting used to the start, stop, and handling characteristics. Wasn’t long before I started feeling comfortable on it. I felt like the bike wanted to stay under me and I was able to control it instead of it controlling me. As for the weight and being top heavy, I have no comparisons. So it didn’t bother me. I am still pondering on the buying. One thing I like is the price point. Won’t break the bank. With your review and Dork on the Road I feel like you all are straight and unbiased shooters. Blunt and to the point good or bad. Thank You
Thank you so much for the kind words sir. I am so sorry I am just now seeing this. I hope by now you have one and if you don’t I hope you still consider one. If I can help in any way send me a message and I am so so sorry for the delay. I hope you have a blessed weekend. Dale.
@@Heartlanddualsport Update. I pulled the trigger and picked up the KLR 650 Adventure last Saturday 4.6.24. Only a few rides under my belt so far and starting to gain confidence every ride. Still a lot to learn. Thank You again.
Thinking about buying one. Great info. Thanks
Sorry for the long delay. I don’t know how I missed this comment. Keep us posted on what you decide. Dale.
@@Heartlanddualsport you sold me bought the new Klr 650 adventure. Got it home last weekend. Again thanks for the honest review
I got 5000 and could go a couple hundred more maybe
That's not bad at all. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, and sorry for the delay in my reply, I have been having some spring time internet issues. Thanks again and happy riding. Dale
Great stuff thank you .
You are very welcome my friend. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment and I am sorry for the long delay in my reply, I have been having some internet issues with the spring storms. Thank you and have a blessed week Dale
Good honest video, I've had the gen2 and now the gen3 " 2023. What great upgrades kawasaki made, I love it ,with a couple mods, for the price$ you can't go wrong. Mark G. From the Poconos in Pa..
Oh man, I so agree, it is a great bike for what it is, Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment and I am sorry for the long delay in my reply, I have been having some internet issues with the spring storms. Thank you and have a blessed week Dale
my wife and kids have both riden short rides and their only complaint was they cant see over or around me because I am 6’4” and they wish they sat a little taller.
Ha, yes sir, it would be harder for them to see over the top of a tall guy like yourself for sure. Dale
I have wanted / still want an Africa Twin, as someone that has ridden both what do you think? would you rather have 2 KLRs or an Africa twin? Agree with you about the fog light button position, seems awkward, also at night in a helmet and gloves its hard. They could have just put a 3 position switch where the high beam is. My mirrors don’t vibrate at all it seems to me, I am just passing 120 miles though, but at 65-70 i could see clearly in the mirrors. after my longest ride which was only 50 miles at 65 my right hand just started to feel it, which I accounted to being new on the bike, I went from a 2 stroke cr250 that I put a skid plate and kickstand on. Here we can ride the ditches and I just got to the point that my body is too old and broken for that bike. Its so nice to just jump on and press a button and ride.
Where I am at in my life, I would rather have one Paid off KLR over any other bike with a payment if that makes sense? I hope this helps. I loved the AT and had one of the first ones out on the market, and it was a dream bike come true. However at the time, I was working had not retired yet and wasn't on a fixed income. so the paid off bike for me is a much better way to go. I dont like making payments on something I am not using, so the winter months are tough writing checks hahhaha. Dale
mine came with the headlight aimed at the sky too, but with the tool kit provided able to adjust it down, its the Phillips screw to the left if you are sitting on the bike and you turn it clockwise to go down.
Yes sir, mine was high as well. I think they could do a better job fixing it at the factory, but if that is one of the things that keeps the cost down, I am ok, fixing it myself hahhaha. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment and I am sorry for the long delay in my reply, I have been having some internet issues with the spring storms. Thank you and have a blessed week Dale
new KLR 650 owner here. Love the reviews, Im currently really stuck on purchasing a new helmet, I enjoy my dirtbike helmet and goggles, my heated snowmobile helmet seems too heavy and visibility isn’t great.
Yes sir, I understand, everything starts adding up quickly when you get a new bike, I need this, this this this etc and before long, your like, I am so done spending money, I just want to go ride. hahha. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment and again, I am so sorry for the delay in my reply, it has been tough spring so far hahha. Dale
