Hi, Luuk, I'm looking for the same manual ....  your offer is still up?
Well even if you asked Shustrik about KLE - I will try to answer you even if I have the 400 KLE - and I ride it only 3 months - in my opinion is an excelent bike - a little heavier for an enduro and you sweat a lot if you go off-road with it on hills and it's twin engine is a little slow on this terain .... and In city is a little larger to get within 2 cars at a stop if is the rush hour ... but has it's strengts .... for me as a beginner is a good bike because is not like ktm's to go on one wheel if you accelerate to quick. Even if I have cross tires is very stable on street, is very reliable and parts are at a fair price and speaking about kle 400 which is a Japan model all parts are Japan quality  and you can ride 300Km with a full gas tank  but in city I notice that it "eats" more gas. Overall is a good bike if you go on road an soft-enduro - in hard enduro is not so good but I manage to keep up with a KTM 640 LC4 - I raise the tail as much as I can so it has a real enduro shape

At my model I had 3 or 4 position for rear shock i put-it on the highest position and since I wasn't satisfied i extended a little bit the shock. I will make some pictures an I will send them to you to understand better.
But Since it's position is high I soften the shock to absorbe better - is not rigid ... my chain if you look at it in park position is like a little loose but when I'm on it ... because the suspension is not hard .. it-s in perfect position not to loose and not to tight - to allow rear to go up and down on terrain
And since I don't have 15 posts and I can't send you a private message .... I will give my addres online - claudiu.radulescu[ at ]gmail.com

I've got one
I bought a brand new KLE500 roughly two months ago and I have to say that the new manual says virtually nothing about servicing other than when it's due and that you should go to a Kawasaki dealer. It doesn't even say how to change brake pads! If anyone has an older more detailed manual, I would be very appreciative.

about the KLE 500 manual; I need one too...
some days ago I found the HUBB by chance-while searching in the net for bikes and such, and then here I am. Especially when I saw a thread on KLE500 manual, I couln't imagine my eyes, becouse I was rummaging every corner in the net and didn't suceed to get one. Thanks to Luuk that he is the first so far I saw  , who offers one, and I would be veery thankful if he -or any other KLE 500'ers could post me this precious booklet. I am newly a newbie on a bike  (it is a KLE 500, an old one- '92 make but does very well ); and nothing seems to be alike automobiles. well, to cut it short for now, I need a manual bad! thanks anyway. 
my mail is endurin.ever@yahoo.com

Service manual
Hi All,
I have a 2000 model, 3500 km, KLE 500, however I have not got users' or service manual at all. Actually it is OK for me to change the oil and oil filter, but have no idea about air filter and spark plugs etc. I will be very glad if you could send me the manual that you mentioned in the forum.
Cheers.

manual
Hi guys,
Seems this manual is very hard to find, I am waiting for my new KLE to arrive. Ordered it last week, I like to do all my servicing myself so if you dont mind I would really like that manual too if it is not too much trouble. My email address is redron@gibtelecom.net. This is a great forum for a new motorcyclist like myself who can learn from the more experienced biker!
Hi guys, sorry for being a pain in the ass but can someone please please send me the manual email address above.

Greetings to all
Hi guys! first, let me introduce myself! I'm the proud owner of a KLE500 (my second KLE). My first bike was...guess...KLE500. LOL. Currently my 2005 model is being submited to some structural changes, mainly for dirt roads (i'love climbing muddy hills with this motorcycle). Since i live in Azores, right in the middle of the atlantic ocean, rain as been converted into my best friend. Whenever i get the chance, i travel to Europe (costly, but a must do every year). It's very hard to find a service manual for my bike, especialy where i live. So, i would like to ask all members of the site if you PLEASE can send me one in pdf format to NFCRUZ@SAPO.PT
my first KLE was from 1991 and is still on the road with 96000 KM.
I want take my present bike to the 300 000km by the end of 2014 (don't ask, just a crazy bet with a friend who ownes a KTM Duke).
Thanks in advance. By the way, if anyone is going to Austria next summer, we'll meet for sure... if not on the road, at Vienna Police Dpt. lol

KLE 500 manual
Hi to everybody
I've got a KLE 500 and it is the most reliable motorbike i've ever used.
I live in Lamia-Greece and here is a litle dificult to find a dessent mechanic to service my KLE 500. In most cases they will jump around like indians in order to chase away the evil spirits or if they know their job they will charge you a small fortune. KLE 500 is realy an unbreakable motor and i can do all the service that it needs ( spark plugs - oill - brake pads - filters - chain... etc ) on my own , so i realy need the service manual for it.
I've cheked this link http://ursa.irk.ru/manual
but there is no manual for KLE 500 .
I will be grateful to anyone can send my the service manual for KLE 500 ( or 400 it is practically the same ).
my mail is
s12original@yahoo.gr
or
s12original@hotmail.com
