Yeah! For me, first bike '22 klr 650. No wheelies, but popped the front in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears in a row. I did go to max 96mph w no problems. For a beginner at 96mph on a bike, the klr is great. Best at 60ish mph. But I do cruise ez at 75 and pass traffic up to 80-90 mph in sketchy-ish full control. But as I said, I'm new. So this klr650 is very forgiving and comfy even. Braking is great but I do keep safe-ish following distance with escape channels just in case. Off road I did drop it on loose rock uphill but skill related. What a great bike for beginners with hearts to push it safe-ish. Thanks for the vid! My 2 cents. Peace! Out.
Fairly new to riding. Love taking my gen2 into the watgan mountains. To me done some narly tracks that I probably wouldn't have taken if I new what I was in for, as I ride solo but so glad i did once got to the other end. Wheelies will be my next challenge. I'll be happy just to be able to learn the bike to pop over obstacles, not so much holding it there. Thanks for vid.👍
Man, I think I met you out at club shell on 710 a few years ago on my DRZ400S. I bought a Tenere 700 recently, so I’m sure I’ll see ya around! Good vid!
I love my KLR650, 2007 Gen1, aluminum engine shrouds, Protaper atv handlebars, FMF powerbomb headers and exhaust, steel skid plate, etc, my favorite bike I've ever owned I'll never sell it
I looped my 250cc 2 stroke in 3rd gear at about 50mph on chip coat pavement. I didn't enjoy it much but my two riding buddies nearly laughed themselves to death. Something about the 15 foot strides I was talking trying to run 50mph struck them as funny. You might get another mph or two out of the KLR if you take a big breath of helium and fill all your pockets with tailwind. The bikes stability at that speed is truly impressive. I love my 2nd gen but haven't bothered trying to top it out. Had it over 80 a couple times with my wife on back. I kept my old ZX9R and they have a deal: KLR don't do triple digits and Ninja don't do dirt roads. Nice vid!
@@FullThrottleJunkie it was 1977 when I looped my TS250. I could commit to a wheelie but not a relationship. Now I'm 64. I've been committed to a relationship for many years but although I've had a wheel off the road every year since 1974, I can't seem to commit to a real wheelie by most standards. Don't know which is worse but it is what it is. Enjoy your 2 wheel life, may you continue to do so for many years! And I hope you do / or have found a wife that will tolerate your sport. I actually got my KLR to enjoy with my wife, my ZX9R isn't exactly passenger friendly.
Just sold my new 2021 Kawaski rs900 cafe which was fast and sexy but after 30 minutes that seating position it was killing me. I live in NW Arkansas and like the scenery of the Ozark Mountains which I loved exploring on my previous 2018 KLR. So now have my 2022 KLR Adventure to cruise in comfort or check out the trails. I don't have to do 100+ mph to enjoy my bike ride anymore.
Thank you this is very informative. I was wondering is it out of gearing or power? I'm curious what the top speed would be with a larger front sprocket? A RPM gauge would be great for this situation. I've had fuel injected bikes with a soft 5th Gear rev limiter meaning you can do more RPM in every gear but fifth.
I have a Gen1 2007 KLR650 and I can only get it up in first, I can ride it for like 3 secs now(I'm just learning) but I didn't know you can shift while doing a wheelie maybe that's why at I need to do to ride the wheelie longer
It's only 40hp and has the aerodynamics of a brick. I've gotten mine to a sustained 95mph and that was it. I found a more road soecific front tire helps take away some of the wobble.
I'm out here in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I have a 2015 Klr650 with a full big bore kit from Schnitz Racing (705cc) and a stage 2 kit from Dynojet. I myself can only get it to wheelie in 1st gear and once the front wheel is up she still wants to drop down :(I know the elevation I'm at is preventing me from unlocking/using all the horses this bike has... I often wonder how my Klr705 acceleration/wheelies would be like at around sea level or 1,000ft elevation. Out here I've gotten my klr to go 108mph and that was down hill lol
@@brockclouser1500 1st gens were best for wheelies. I've seen some 1st klrs stunted in Queens, NY on the big rides out there. I'm convinced even with all the work done I've done to this bike... the klr is still a pig. Thinkin bout selling it towards the Africa Twin 😈
How does it ride on rough paved roads with cracks, tar snakes and bumps? I have a MT07 that I can feel every imperfection in the road. Some roads have my helmet bouncing around. How are the engine vibrations? Is that seat comfrontable?
Rough paved roads are nothing you can't feel the cracks shakes or bumps. The engine vibrations are a lot less than the previous generation because of the rubber mounted handlebars foot pegs and seat. The seat is super comfortable I can ride for hours

You're saying that the bike can't do it, but I haven't seen you get it up to the balance point once yet. You're wanting to just get it up a little and keep it up while jamming through the gears.

14 tooth front sprocket, should help- if you want to walk it or pop wheelies.

No the bike does not have traction control . It was just me I have gotten better with the bike and can now hold 2nd
What's up man?? Where was this filmed? Area looks familiar..
St Thomasville GA?
The longer wheelbase probably makes it a little more difficult right?
Possibly
I suspect the extra weight doesn't help either, Regardless it's not exactly meant to be a wheelie machine.

When I drive by a radar speed signs it says it is accurate so idk
Do you drive by radar at 95mph? I think the speedometer is accurate to 60mph, but 80 is more like 75, and 95 is more like 88. Using other bikes for comparison ... But it could be other bikes that are off.
@@chadkline4268 I'll have to test it out I have a radar speed trap sign
@@FullThrottleJunkie i know it’s been a while but what were the results?
@@joshzak8457 you can watch some of my other videos especially the 16th tooth sprocket video that will explain everything
Putting it in second gear waaaaay to fast. Ride it in first gear for a few seconds before going into second
Yeah I've gotten a lot better at bringing the bike up and holding second gear now. Starting to add some rear brake trying to slow it down and maintain the wheelie for longer. The problem I'm running into now is the oil leaking into the airbox I'm going to have to get a one-way check valve or something
Same engine longer swing arm equals worse wheeelies
I'm getting better with the wheelies I can hold out second gear now
Your afraid of balance point.The bike dose what you tell it to do.
