I've been there but I was a good distance from any support. BUT, I pulled out my trusty Leatherman tool, I was back on the trail in no time.
My other comment, that, for sure is "old school" KLR.
From your picture,
#1- Foot peg on the swing arm.
#2- Shoe brakes
#3 A real kick starter.
What year is it?

Yup, Leatherman FTW!

I was drooling over the yellow one at the IMS in NYC. I miss my KLR. It'd be a nice street oriented dual sport companion to my much, much better off road G650X.

Slung my bike from the ceiling with a quasi z-drag, to prep for an install of raising links!

"Raising links" is not a term one comes across very often on a klr thread

RevBill · 02-19-2013, 08:24 PM

Stiffer spring, rising links, taller 150 rear tire and raised over 1"/widen 3" the factory seat....now I'm flat footed. Helps when you have 36" inseam.

i was at a fssnoc rally 90% klrs to get on the fssnoc presidents nerves i showed up on my triumph 800xc

Raising links and a Cogent rear shock with another 1 1/2" travel. Really helps the bucking beast handle much nicer. Seat height is now just over 37".
