The Kawasaki KLR650 is a 651 cc single, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, 4-valves, dual-sport motorcycle intended for both on-road and off-road riding. It was a long-standing model in Kawasaki's lineup, having been introduced in 1987 and remaining almost unchanged through the 2007 model. The 2008 model was the first significant redesign of the KLR650 since its inception.

Finally! Quality replacement body parts at a fraction (35%!) of the OEM parts. Polisport's parts have been developed with their exclusive technologies - IPD (In-mold Plastic Decals) and DGP (Durable Gloss Propylene). These processes make these parts even more resistant and durable than the stock units with a perfect fit and glossy finish. The Side Panels include heat protection film, washers and rubber grommets, just like the OEM parts.
You can purchase individual parts, or a discounted complete kit. If your taillight unit was damaged with your rear fender, we offer a brand new OEM unit as an optional add on.
The Moab Pro-Series shock from Cogent Dynamics is the standard by which all other shocks are judged in the KLR world. With its superior performance and exceptional reliability, Moab Pro-Series shocks have literally conquered the world many times over. The staff at Cogent is as passionate about motorcycles as you are.
Spring duties are handled by a custom spring available in either Standard or Heavy-Duty weights. The Standard spring will be fine if you are under 250 pounds and don't ride with luggage or passengers often. If you regularly carry luggage boxes and/or a passenger and weigh over 250 pounds, you will probably prefer the Heavy-Duty spring. Call if you have any questions.
Because of the limited space with the reservoir, adjusting your preload is just about impossible and for that reason we only sell these units with the Cogent Hydraulic Preload Adjuster already installed!
For a true comfort and performance package, we highly recommend upgrading your front suspension at the same time.
Shocks are Custom built to order: Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery
If you have '87-'07 KLR, you MUST order new mounting bolt. Not required for 2008-2018 models.
Saddlemen's Destination Pack secures your valuables within a steel wire mesh sandwiched between a scratch-free, soft inner liner and a tough water resistant nylon outer bag to provide vault-like protection. A velvet smooth inner liner protects your cargo while a six-foot-long flexible stainless steel cable secures the bag to the bike or other permanent structure. (Padlock not included.) The cable doubles as a motorcycle security cable - prevents theft of bag or bike. 12 x 24 with a 44 liter capacity.
Your automatic cam chain tensioner is spring loaded. This can make it difficult to install as it wants to extend before you have it bolted into place. This handy tool will back off the cam chain tensioner mechanism and hold it for you. No more awkward 3-handed contortions are required to get the tensioner installed.
A pair of stage 2 intake and exhaust 'drop-in' camshafts. Great mid-range and top-end increase. Uses stock valve springs. Modifying the airbox and rejetting will be required to realize power improvements with these cams. These are new billet cams - No core return required!
29mm diameter - Includes two valve shims of each size 2.30, 2.40, 2.50, 2.55, 2.60, 2.70, 2.80, 2.90, 3.00 and 3.10. 20 shims in total. From K&L.
For adjusting valve clearance on twin cam models. Holds valve spring collar down so adjusting pads can be removed. From Motion Pro, made from hardened alloy steel.
Higher pressure in the cooling system, raises the coolant boiling point and increases protection from coolant loss due to overheating.
23 PSI - 1.6 Bar.
A direct replacement for the stock KLR hoses that tend to crack and leak after a few years.
These silicone hoses are custom made for us. Silicon hoses operate at much higher temperatures and pressures than other rubbers, they don't perish, and they look great!
Our very own version of the popular thermostat bypass for the KLR. Gives faster warm up and more constant engine temperatures. Eliminates the wildly fluctuating engine temperature gauge. A more controlled and constant temperature is easier on your piston and cylinder and may prevent or reduce oil consumption. We use a 180 degree thermostat instead of the stock (too cold!) 160 degree unit. Warmer coolant temperature promotes better fuel vaporization and can increase fuel economy.
Our bypass system mounts the new thermostat in a small billet extension housing right where the stock thermostat is now. There is no bulky external housing to hang off the motor. The bypass hose tees in to the lower radiator hose using a length of quality high temperature silicone hose. It all makes for a clean simple installation.
The complete Thermo Control package - Our in-house designed Thermostat Bypass kit, a set of Custom Silicone Hoses and a Hi-Pressure Radiator Cap. All combined to help your KLR cooling system be at the top of its game. The Thermostat Bypass kit includes a thermostat with a higher temperature rating that will keep the motor more in its happy spot.
The Silicone hoses are stronger than the stock rubber units and will better resist cracking and leaking.
Complete Doohickey Replacement Kit now includes the outside cover gasket. Complete kit includes:
The genuine Eagle Manufacturing balancer lever kit. All top quality components.
A high quality torsion spring puts more consistent force on the tensioner lever. Requires drilling a small hole in the case to seat the spring. Drill bit included.
Special tool to remove the flywheel/rotor from the end of the crankshaft. You have to remove the flywheel/rotor to upgrade the doohickey.
You have to pull the rotor off the crank of your KLR to access the doohickey. The offset in this factory Kawasaki wrench makes that very easy. It is very difficult to get a standard wrench to hold the crank to get the flywheel/rotor off.
Complete set of friction plates, HD springs and steel separator plates prevent premature driven plate wear, oil muddying and loss of stack height. Built with swaged aluminum carriers that spread the load on the clutch basket and prevent clutch basket "dogging". Anti-swell, alloy impregnated heavy-duty cork-based facings for smooth clutch take-up. Allows modulation, unlike paper clutches which tend to snatch.
The Rekluse EXP employs the same EXP assembly as their premier product; the difference is that it fits into your stock clutch assembly, saving you money! Now you can enjoy the benefits of Rekluse auto-clutch technology on your KLR.
An auto-clutch automatically feeds out the engagement of the clutch using centrifugal force. This allows you to start and stop without touching the clutch lever. The automatic feed is fully adjustable to suit the rider's needs while retaining full manual override with the clutch lever. This automatic feed delivers easier on/off throttle transitions, improved traction, better control, and more confidence.
Replacing your clutch or removing that side cover for any reason? You are going to need a new gasket for the cover to ensure a leak-free assembly.
Generator cover gasket to seal up the cover once you have your new Doohickey in place. New OEM gasket. What else can we say? If in doubt, put in a new one.
Put fresh O-rings on your KLR when you do your next oil change. Here you have new ones for the Oil Filler and the Oil Filter Housing Cover.
Superior Filtration:
This should be the last oil filter you will ever buy. Made from laser cut, medical grade, 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth, this filter provides 200% more filter area in many cases. Most good paper filters will pass particles in the 90 to 95 micron range, and some tested, as much as 300 microns. Sand is about 125 microns and a white blood cell approximately 25 microns. Flo's stainless filter catches items down to 35 microns "absolute", which is about 3 times better than most good paper or brass filters. The pleat seam is welded, able to withstand up to 600 degrees in our filter, not glued, like paper filters.
Providing unbeatable performance and exceptional value, Hiflofiltro is the best-selling brand of aftermarket filters for motorcycles, scooters, and ATVs worldwide. The filters are also supplied to original equipment manufacturers as well as private label brands.
You pay $3.00 per filter with our value 10-pack!
A 10-pack of drain plug sealing crush washers. Replace your sealing washer at every oil change to prevent a leak.
Stock and typical after market drain plugs can protrude past some skid plates. This steel low profile drain plug stays inside the skid plate so it can't be snagged by passing objects.
Comes with 4 crush washers.
Extra protection for your motor! Strong magnet at the end of the plug picks up metallic flakes in your oil, protecting your engine!
