We present new measurements of the six largest branching fractions of the KL using data collected in 1997 by the KTeV experiment (E832) at Fermilab. The results are B(KLπ±eν)=0.4067±0.0011, B(KLπ±μν)=0.2701±0.0009, B(KLπ+π-π0)=0.1252±0.0007, B(KLπ0π0π0)=0.1945±0.0018, B(KLπ+π-)=(1.975±0.012)×10-3, and B(KLπ0π0)=(0.865±0.010)×10-3, where statistical and systematic errors have been summed in quadrature. We also determine the CP violation parameter |η+-| to be (2.228±0.010)×10-3. Several of these results are not in good agreement with averages of previous measurements.
