Dr350
I have a KLR250 and a DR350 currently. I agree the DR is much better on the road and better all around bike even though my DR is 6 years older than the KLR.

probably combination of all problems
I think it is a little bit of all the things mentioned. Switch is missing. It is bent in. It is floppy/ worn.
