Chassis

• COMPOSED CHARACTER: Ride confidently through varying terrain with a durable chassis and long-travel suspension. A sturdy 41mm fork handles suspension duties up front and an adjustable Uni-Trak® rear suspension system helps the KLR®650 motorcycle deliver an all-around composed riding character while front and rear disc brakes help you stop with confidence.
• RIDE SMOOTHLY: Optimized suspension settings, a long swingarm, and an integrated rear frame contribute to confident handling, whether on a single track, backroad, or interstate highway. The KLR®650 S motorcycle features a seat height of 32.1 in. versus 34.3 in. on the KLR®650 motorcycle. A combination of reduced wheel travel, reduced seat thickness, and optimized suspension settings makes it easier to reach the ground while retaining excellent suspension performance, road handling capability, and ride comfort.
