This 1987 Kawasaki KLR650 is being dismantled at Derrimut. It’s a liquid-cooled four-stroke big single dual-sport, built with a genuinely large fuel tank and electric start for real distance riding – one of the earliest adventure-capable bikes on the market, long before that became its own marketing category for every manufacturer.
Parts off this KLR650
- Cylinder head, barrel, piston and gearbox internals
- Carburettor, airbox and exhaust system
- Radiator, hoses and water pump
- Starter motor, stator and wiring loom
- Forks, triple clamps and both wheels
- Swingarm, rear shock and linkage
- Front and rear brake calipers, discs and master cylinders
- Fuel tank, seat, subframe and fairing components
The first-generation KLR650 ran largely unchanged in Australia for years, so parts off this 1987 example commonly suit other early-model KLR650s either side of it. It’s a popular choice among riders keeping an older KLR on the road for touring and light off-road use, where dealer stock on the original generation has thinned out considerably over the decades since it left showrooms. Long-distance tourers and dual-sport riders make up most of the interest we see in a bike this age.
Everything is a used take-off from this actual bike, checked before it’s sent out – never new, never boxed as genuine. We freight Australia-wide from Derrimut.

We can also check whether a specific part suits a slightly later model year before you order it. That’s worth checking given how many small changes crept in across the model’s long production run.
