Has your TM40 carburetor been sitting for too long and now needs to be rebuilt? Then what you need is this TM40 Rebuild Kit that contains Genuine Mikuni replacement parts.

Double the size of your side stand footprint and half the chances of your KLR tipping over when parked on soft terrain. This laser cut, TIG welded 0.190" thick slice of aluminum bolts to your machine with just the addition of a hole in the stock side stand pad. Just takes minutes to mount.
From our friends at JNS Engineering, a very nice mount for a set of auxiliary lights on the front of your KLR650. Laser cut from 0.190" 5052 aluminum it is CNC formed and then powdercoated black. One of the best benefits is that it will not interfere with even the largest aftermarket fuel tanks. All included mounting hardware is stainless steel.
Billet aluminum lowering links. Lowers the rear suspension approximately 1 to 2 inches depending on application.
*Important when lowering the rear suspension you want to raise the fork tubes in the clamps an equal amount of inches that the rear is being lowered. That way your bike will sit level when done.
Note: We only recommend the 2" lowering links for lighter non-aggressive riders as they allow the tire to rub when near bottoming.
Disclaimer: Lowering the front and/or rear of your motorcycle will change the geometry and may affect the handling, use caution after making changes/adjustments.
Some KLR models from 2004 - 2007 may have a longer shank that do not allow the bolts to tighten to the bearing. If that is the case, we recommend the addition of either a 14 mm split type lock washer or a 15 mm flat washer under the nut of both link mounting bolts.

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.

The Replacement windshield from Parabellum has been designed, developed and tested using all the knowledge and experience of the KLR riders in their own shop. Using the stock mounting points as well as the cowling mounts increases the rigidity of the shield. All new fasteners are included. This new design allows you to move your handlebar to different positions and will not interfere with a stand-up position for off-road use.
This shield is constructed of 3/16" military grade cast acrylic that is 17 inches wide at the bottom tapering to 16 inches at the top.
This is the brace needed to stabilize the wing like structure they call a front fender on the KLR – both generations. This simple bolt-on reduces wind buffeting and increases steering stability at highway speeds. It also helps carry the weight of a fender mounted tool bag.
Made from laser cut 5052 aluminum, then CNC formed and beautified with a shiny black powder coat. Easily mounts in a few minutes using the included stainless steel hardware.

Patented inertia activated damping for damper rod front forks. This is the only product on the market that is smart enough to know if the wheel is trying to move or if the chassis is trying to move. We give you the best of worlds, a more stable chassis and a faster wheel response over bumps. This product will transform the front of your KLR650.
The Intiminator sits on top of your stock damper rod forcing the oil through high quality deflected discs found in top of the line shock absorbers. When the front tire hits a bump then the inertia of that bump opens the inertia valve instantly allowing for a faster response.
Installation is easy. Drain the fork oil, remove the spring, drop in the Intiminator, refill with 5W fork oil reinstall the spring and away you go.

Race Tech Cartridge Emulators make damping rod forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks. Emulators are tunable valves that sit inside your forks on top of the damping rods and are held in place by the fork springs. Simple to install and completely tunable for all conditions and rider preferences.

Seat Concepts seats are constructed using a foam material that is a much higher quality than OEM seat foam. Their proprietary formula provides a more plush and active ride, while still offering the necessary amount of support. Their unique comfort shape maintains a similar contour to stock at the front of the seat so the rider’s legs are not spread farther apart, but tapers out towards the mid-point to distribute rider weight over a greater area.
These features combine to offer a custom seat feel, and provide greater enjoyment and increased range on a long commute, or Dual-Sport ride!
The Complete Seats come assembled with an aftermarket pan and ready to ride.
| Width: | 12 5/8" (321mm) |

The Commuter seat maintains a similar contour to stock at the front of the seat so the rider’s legs are not spread farther apart, but has a dished seating position towards the mid-point to distribute rider weight over a greater area. This dished area is also wider than the stock seat to increase support. The passenger platform is the stock shape.
The Commuter seat is the best choice for extended pavement riding and mellow offroad. The unique shape and added width will provide greater enjoyment and increased range on a long commute, or Dual-Sport ride!

The chain slider protects the swingarm from contact with the chain. Replace yours before it wears through to the swingarm.
The KLR650 is rather hard on the cush drive rubbers. Replace these any time you feel excessive play in the sprocket hub. Excessively worn dampers can cause the cush hub bearing to fail - which will ruin your sprocket carrier.
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.
Replacement shift lever with folding tip.
Have you lost or broken the stock air filter cage for your KLR? Maybe you need a spare? Here it is, the OEM cage that will fit any of the foam air filters on this page. This kit includes the cage and the mounting hardware.

Squeeze your tank and feel what a solid seat position is and does for you. They will assist in reduction of vibration, increase in control, and increase in comfort.
Will also help you cover wear spots on your tank whether it be the stock metal or a plastic tank. We tested had a couple sets of these on bikes with plastic tanks for at least 3 years and saw no signs of bubbling, peeling or coming off in any way.
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.
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.
