2022 Kawasaki KLR650 First Ride Review | Road and Off-Road Test

The legendary KLR650 gets reborn after a short hiatus and is back with fuel injection, ABS, improved midrange torque, revised ergos, optimized suspension, and more. While many things have changed, much of what made the 35-year-old KLR650 a cult classic has remained the same. But is the Gen 3 KLR significantly better than before? Steve Kamrad gives us his impression after two days of riding over hundreds of miles on varied desert terrain in Northern New Mexico on the KLR.

My wife and I just purchased two of the KLR 650 adventure versions 2022 and we've wridden for decades on the street now we're going to try and ride some moderate adventure riding now that we're 60 years old and looking forward to another type of cycling

I am in the same age group and just bought one for trailing in Northern Wisconsin, it is a great bike.

Thats awesome! Safe travels and enjoy!

Yep I have one too. Tusk make the best accessories for them. These bikes are fun to ride and easy to work on.

[@ronaldbassett5142]

Loved your review! You nailed it with your oservation that the KLR is like a wheelbarrow and that it gets all Cs while still making the honor role. My first KLR was a '94 and my current one is a 2014. I'm 75 years old and ride about 750 miles a month.

[@philipbarton2634]

Nicely done. The KLR650. Basic good fun for the average rider. Which is what most of us are.

ADV Pulse needs to use Steve Kamrad in more if not every review! Hands down the best motorcycle journalist out there; knowledgeable, can relate to the bikes purpose and who it's for, understands the entire spectrum of riders, happens to be one of the best riders out there and rides it like he stole it which is exactly how many of us ride our bikes! Watching other reviewers struggle on basic trails is a joke but you know if Steve is on that bike he is gonna push it harder than you can which inspires confidence in his reviews along with the fact he is honest. And yes, his antics that might get him in hot water with demo bikes from time to time (just my guess from other awesome video's he has done) but he is the absolute best! The guy has style and moxie for days - The World Needs More Steve Kamrad!

[@jamesdumas6602]

"The New Digital Dash is a Step Up over the older Analog dash"??? What? The New dash Does NOT have a Tachometer? Your dumbass response is that you run every gear up to the Rev Limiter. dumb! The reason the KLR had a "Cult" was that there were NOT a lot of other dual sport bikes to pick from at the KLR's affordable price (my 2008 cost $4200 new). I'd buy a new Triumph Tiger 900 Rally if they didn't cost so ridiculous much. THE REASON KAWASAKI MADE THE NEW KLR FUEL INJECTED WAS TO MEET THE 2020 NEW AIR POLLUTION STANDARDS. They could NOT sell a carburated bike anymore. My carburated KLR has never had a carb failure, gets 50MPG and runs cool.

[@evenstevenmotodrone735]

Yeap Great Review from ADVPulse as always 🏍🇨🇷 🐕

[@mal-wx6tu]

Yes, the Doohickey is not done, which is ridiculous from Kawasaki for all this time, Kawasaki USA should have done a deal with Eagle Mike Eng, for saving so many KLRs.

[@berttompkins9096]

The reason chain gets loose is the old rubber chain guides wore off. Then no one adjusted the chain . This was a common issue on the chain driven mitsubishi balancer too. The new bikes have improved guides and it not a worry . Yes you can install Eagle Mike's spring after 1 year warrantee. Not an issue and you can inspect the balancer for gee whiz. Kawasaki knows what they're doing.

[@berttompkins9096]

The good news is that these are twin balancers not just single or an extra crank throw. They are expensive and no one considers that they quell both up and down and fore/aft rod swings. Similar to Mitsubishi silent shafts which were used by Porsche 944 and even Hoda accord

[@Bullardicus86]

I just bought a 2022 klr 650, only putted around town on it so far I’m also super new to riding Street legal in general but I love this bike it’s easy to ride so much fun. I grew up on dirt bikes nothing crazy though, in my opinion this bike is perfect for starting out.

[@mikelevsen9878]

One of the better reviews I have seen on the new KLR!! I own a 2007 KLR and its my beat down these Iowa gravel roads bike. I also own a 18 Road Glide and for some reason, I smile just as much if not more, when riding the KLR. I rode bigger adventure bikes but for some reason I just keep the KLR. I guess I really dont feel like I need 150 HP to ride down gravel roads. I rode the new KLR base model and just didnt feel like there is enough difference to warrant the price. The nice thing about the old bike is that I can rebuild anything that breaks however nothing ever does!!

[@TR5T]

After having owned a 2006 KLR I will state that any KLR is an extremely rewarding ride although many of my friends have the "must" silly massive GS 11-1250s the honest truth is a KLR below 70mph will do everything the blimp will. I do hope more people break out of the designer accessory Beemer to discover one of these. It was way too tall for me and it could never be lowered enough, saying that the ride 5-11 and over will find it such a blast.

[@nathancalhoun9200]

I’m 5’8 and I love my 2008. I have to slide one cheek off the seat at stops but it works. It’s the most fun I’ve ever had on a bike.

[@adamniswonger8015]

They make a lowered version, stock now. But the GS’s are just as easy to ride at slower speeds and more pleasant to travel at higher speeds. Just more $$. No need to knock either.

[@berttompkins9096]

The JT 16 tooth sprocket fits an it makes way better riding in 5th and no extra clutching at launch. Torque easily handles it. No need for a 6 speed folks $20 fix and less vibes. What a bike. Now 2nd gear does roosters!!!!

[@BSE1320]

Have a 2011 that needs a cylinder rebuild and a 2009 that's a placeholder or maybe a keeper😁🔫 Have been all over Canada and the north west States(x2) with that 2011. They are my daily ride and my dirt bike. Don't mind the old carb and cleaning it. The EFI will still need maintenance but won't miss the cold choking every time the bike is off for half an hour or loss of power at altitude. I will never forget the guy at the bar in Alpine, Wyoming..."you guys came all the way from Ontario on those dirt bikes?" If your just starting to get into travelling off a bike or the mid sized adv type riding. The price, fuel range and simplicity, will determine if your ready for more or to move onto a different bike. You'll still get the wave from me✌😁

I own a 2022 KLR. I wouldn't suggest going over 80.The aerodynamics of the bike isn't made for that speed. A little wind under the front fender will lift the front end up. Had it happen. Promised the almighty that if he got me out of it, I wouldn't do it again 🤪

[@TrippyWheelz]

the big issue I have with my KLR 650 is on windy days on the highway. not very good at crushing miles when you have to go slow because the bike gets shoved around like crazy when its really windy which is always the case here in Texas. As far as the other issues people have like top speed, gear indicator and tac, I personally like having a bare bones bike when I am putting it through off road use.

[@nikhayes3396]

Yeah, I those two Australian guys that just go on and on about the ABS / the brakes didn't seem to think it through or fully test, because it will lock up the Rear tire for just a second and a half so you can still start a drift through a dirt corner. Also they do this silly thing where he rides down a steep hill riding the brakes with the clutch in??? like dude, its a thumper the primary brake is 1st gear. haha. They also seemed to forget its only a 500 lbs bike, it feels light for its weight and the breaks actually work amazing in my humble opinion.

I have the new adventure model when do you recommend the doohickey? Or should I not worry about it.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

I would do it for funzies

[@Hansengineering]

First or second oil change, whenever is convenient. According to the Kaw dealer, the doo is the same because "Kaw has never once had a warranty claim for a broken chain tensioner". K. Well, the warranty is 12 months at the longest. If people were putting on 7500 miles in a year, you'd see them break "under warranty". When I pulled mine off at 7500, it wasn't broken, but the spring was all out of... spring. And, you know, that's an option, too; just put in a better spring. Because really it can fail in 3 ways. The spring can break, the spring can run out of tension, and the doohickey itself can break. It would be absolutely trivial for Kaw to have addressed this at *any point* in the past 30 years.

[@codym5352]

As someone who owns a 2007 KLR, I REALLY don't like the new one. The dash is huge and has so much wasted space in it, I HATE that the ABS is either non-existent, or on, your can't toggle it, and the frame being one piece and NOT having a subframe is foolish, trust me, my subframe is currently cracked, THANK GOD IT BOLTS ON SO I CAN JUST TAKE IT OFF AND REPLACE IT RATHER THAN HAVING TO TOTAL THE WHOLE BIKE BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO MAKE IT A UNIBODY. The non- toggleable ABS and the unibody frame ruin it for me

You could weld a broken frame, but sure there are upsides to having a removable subframe. ABS with those brakes is just silly, save your money in the first place.

I had narrowed down my search for a 2nd bike to the klr and dr as well. To be honest, I wound up with the KLR because I couldn't find a DR for sale to even look at, and the AT is too pricey for a 2nd bike. I don't think you can go wrong with either bike.
