Hi all. Just seen some Bridgestone BT45's at my local dealers in KLE sizes. Yes, 21inch front ROAD tyre!!! I used these tyres in the past on normal bikes and IMHO they are ok. Just need two sets of whels/tyres now.

Could someone help me out witha manual as well please?

Exclamation Help needed!!!!!

Hi guys!

Still wondering about KLE week points? Well I'll give you a strong point I had an accident at 80Km/h with a brand new Grand Cherokee that cut my face and I took it frontal without time to brake (only 2m brake) and I thank to those japanese who draw KLE frame. For a frontal collision at that speed it looks better than other motorcycles I saw at service. Only the body covers (those plastics - frontal and left + right are broken, head light, that tiny frame which holds the front pannel a little deformed, a flat tire, and the o-rings of fork and fork oil.
You don't want to see the Jeep!!!!!

Now I ask your help again! Do you know any site that has a parts catalog for KLE? I searched and I haven't found one yet .... I want to estimate my damages because on the hand of assurance ..... I wil not get all brand new parts .

Thanks a lot

Thank you! All day I searched the net and I didn't found any parts catalog with prices. Alll were with contact us .... bla bla.

Yeah offroad look .... blue color meets blue Jeep (offroad look) and than a round of gathering broken parts from road .

Thank you anyway.
I should pull some strings at service and put my hand on a parts catalog to share with others who may need. Because I see that the internet is not so full of informations

We're not that rare... I've just changed my oil and I was looking at the 5L bottle of Motul 5100 4T I bought and lo and behold one of the bikes pictured is our beloved KLE 500.

I use the same oil and I was stoned to see a KLE but I still wonder is it a KLE?
