I purchased a KLR 250 2 years ago, I had to replace the shock, clean the carb, new battery and it seems to run pretty good.

Thanks for posting Gil, I did get your email but have yet to reply.
Can you show more pictures, especially the handle bar guards, there are a couple of types. What about the rear lights, is there the convoy blackout one? How was the CFR plate mounted?

They were used for minor tasks in the field, like bringing in IOR demands to service battalion and picking up small parts from service battalion and bringing it back to the first line unit. They could possibly carry messages too, but even by the 90s the army was way past that.
The advantage of a bike in the field was that it could snake ahead of a jammed up route blocked up with slow moving convoys. However, given the few tasks that remained in the military for motorcycles, they have joined honest politicians, the dodo bird, and the woolly mammoth into the history books. |
