My original slider was looking pretty slim after my Central American trip, with deep wear grooves in it.

Your chain's health depends on this thin piece of rubber.  Formtech make a range of sliders for many dirt machines, the KLR included, from a poly compound which has much better wear qualities than the original rubber.  If you're on a long journey or just replacing the worn stocker, its a cheap and worthy investment.

Rear chain guide

Best of all, its designed so you don't have to remove the swingarm to install it.
 
They also have a rear chain guide in the same material, and all are available in a range of colours.
