I'm sure there's more to it than just the size of the hole. Seeing how it's done on the KLX would help me figure out why it's different. Especially considering the KLX uses the same card and nearly the same jetting. It would be nice if I could get quicker throttle response by going larger on the slide vacuum port. Right now I have it drilled out to .125", but who knows, maybe a bit bigger would work. What kind of power does the KLX650 have? Has anyone dynoed one? Devon David Kelly wrote:

Same engines. The only differences that I know of is the plastic fairing. I wish they still made them. The Tengai were a much better looking bike in my opinion. If you wanted to mount a Tengai fairing on your KLR you can buy them from an Australian company for $350 US at http://replicofairings.com/replico-prices.php3#KAWASAKI I'm not sure how hard it would be to mount.
