This CAN'T be the right owners manual!
ok lets try this again. Ever write some long essay and have your cat stroll by and step on god know what key and wipe out the whole thing??
anyhow, The more I read thru this thing, the more I think either its wrong or the boys in Thailand had a liquid lunch when they wrote it. Nothing in it is accurate. For example... 1 - Says it a 5-spd. Mines got six. 2 - Says it holds 5 gals. I can barely get half that in there 3 - Shows a rear rack. I have a tiny seat 4 - Shows a helmet lock. umm nope 5 - Shows a fuel shut-off lever, in plain sight mines under the plastic, takes a coin to turn, and the settings are 'ON, OFF, PRI' wtf does that mean? No reserve? It has an actual fuel gauge on the instrument cluster. Its set on 'ON' 6 - The illustrations/locations for the filters are inaccurate The title says its an EX250, the manual calls it a KLR650. Can manuals be ordered or FSMs downloaded anyplace? Thanks in advance.. Rick in CO |

You have a KLR 650 manual.

Also, it IS a 4.8 gallon tank. If you are only getting around 2.5 gallons in it, then you are either: a) not running it even close to empty before refilling, b) refilling it on a serious angle and therefore not truly filling it, or c) both a & b. I suggest not trusting the fuel gauge since it's widely known to be about the least accurate fuel gauge ever created. Estimate around 45mpg to start off with times 4 gallons: 4x45=180, so you shouldn't be filling up until at least 180-190 miles on a tank. The reason I used those numbers was to be a little conservative and make sure you don't end up running out of gas before getting to a filling station.

Quick refueling tip: hold the nozzle up so it's just into the tank and fill by eye. Nozzles are designed to automatically shut off when fuel backs up an automotive filler tube, which bikes don't have. If you just insert the nozzle fully into the tank you'll be lucky to fill the tank half way before the auto shutoff trips.
