OVERALL CONCEPT Part Tourer, part Sport bike, the KLV1000 is not easily categorised. Designed primarily for road use, but capable of continuing onward when the pavement stops, this multi-role machine combines the convenience and comfort of a touring model with sporty performance care of a powerful V-Twin engine and a lightweight aluminium chassis. And if you have lots to take with you on your cross-continent trek, the KLV1000 happily accommodates.
KEY SALES FEATURES VERSATILE CHASSIS Chassis * Aluminium-alloy twin-spar frame is lighter than the steel frames found on competitors, and combined with an aluminium-alloy swingarm contributes to a low dry weight of 208 kg – more in line with that a sport bike than that of a tourer. * Chassis geometry balances stability and comfort with responsive handling. The wheelbase of 1,550 mm is sufficiently long to ensure stable high-speed cruising, while not so long that it blunts steering responses.
Brakes/Wheels/Tyres * Dual floating 310 mm front discs gripped by twin-piston callipers are ready to slow you down should you get a little overzealous. A 260 mm disc and single-piston calliper slow the rear wheel. * Lightweight cast aluminium wheels and tubeless radial tyres contribute to low unsprung weight. The 19M/C x MT2.50 front wheel carries a 110/80R19M/C tyre; the 17M/C x MT4.00 rear wheel runs with a 150/70R17M/C tyre.
COMPACT, POWERFUL ENGINE WITH HIGH TECHNOLOGY FEATURES Engine 4 * Liquid-cooled, DOHC, 8-valve, 90° V-Twin engine has a bore and stroke of 98 x 66 mm and a 996 cm3 displacement. (Photo 4) * Valve train arrangement contributes to a shorter engine height. Instead of driving the cams with a conventional chain looped under the crankshaft and over the top of large-diameter cam sprockets, each set of cams is turned by an idler gear located between and below the cam gears.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Engine * Idling Speed Control system facilitates cold starting. The system reads engine coolant temperature and automatically sets the primary and secondary throttle valve openings for increased idling speed until the coolant reaches normal operating temperatures. * A secondary air system controlled by the ECU directs fresh air from the airbox into the exhaust ports to reduce CO and HC emissions, as necessary.
