Advertised horsepower and torque ratings are yet TBA. The following is what is currently available. Walt Liquid-cooled, 651cc, DOHC, 4-valve, single cylinder engine features a super broad torque curve for the widely varied uses of a dual sport motorcycle. Double engine balancers keep the engine running smoothly from idle to redline for best rider comfort and less fatigue on long rides. Ratchet-type, automatic camchain tensioner keeps cam timing spot-on . Free breathing, 4-valve cylinder head boosts low end torque and provides maximum valve area for optimum flow at highway speeds. Revised cam timing contributes to improved high-rpm performance. New intake porting offers greater low-end torque. New piston rings are thinner and have more tension, resulting in a significant reduction in oil consumption. New, fully transistorized CD Ignition unit replaces the earlier analogue CDI for better ignition performance. With the new ignition, the KLR650 now features a throttle position sensor (TPS) providing throttle sensitive ignition timing. The result is better power and sharper throttle response. New, higher output alternator (14.5 17.0 Amps) meets the electrical accessory needs of touring riders. New regulator offers improved performance. New, one-piece exhaust pipe features smoother bends for improved exhaust efficiency at all rpm. U.S. Forest Service approved spark arrester helps prevent wildfires and allows access to designated public riding areas and. 40mm semi-flat slide Keihin CVK Carburetor precisely meters fuel for good economy and quick throttle response. The addition of a secondary air system helps reduce harmful exhaust emissions. New Denso radiator is thin and lightweight. Fitted with a lightweight and thin cooling fan, the new radiator has a greater cooling area and offers a 20increase in cooling efficiency. (10due to more densely packed cores; 10due to the larger area.) The more even running temperatures achieved with liquid cooling ensures long engine life and no power fade on hot days. Smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission has a gear for every situation, from low-speed trails to highway touring use. The transmission features Kawasaki s exclusive positive neutral finder that makes selecting neutral at stoplights a breeze. At a stop, just lift up on the shifter from first gear and the transmission stops at neutral V every time.
