- 705cc kit for the KLR. This is a 2008 model which ran too low on oil and ruined the head and camshafts at 49,000 miles. I was planning on the 705 kit but was going to wait until this winter. Missed by a few months.

Nice thanks for posting. Seems hard to find reviews on the KLR big bore kits.
Great info, you answered all of my questions about the 705.
Amazing what a skilled rider can do with a KLR. Great video and info!
I had so much this last year with this bike that I just put a deposit on a 701 Husky....
I just got back from a trip with my friend through BC and on the islands.. we both have stock engines, loaded with about 100 lbs each of luggage and supplies and were climbing worse stuff than this lol theres nothing a klr can't do it seems.. HOWEVER having this kit that you've shown here is really appealing to me and would've made a huge difference I think.. thanks for uploading, fun to watch
Thanks for posting , gives a good idea of the power!
Great video, I love it! Can't wait to show it to my Dad! Thank you for sharing it!
Going to do some comparison rides with the Husky 701
Sick vid man! Makes me want to start upgrading things on mine lol.
enjoyed the vid thanks bike sounds awesome
Great sound
Thanks for sharing,
Dial in your suspension to match or better your engine! You will have an excellent KLR
Great video. I beg to differ when you say "no stock klr can do This" got a buddy in my vids hammers his pretty hard and I'm no slouch myself on mine but it does suck with stock suspension haha
I'm anywhere from 200 - 215 lbs. Maybe someone down around 150 could hammer it more in stock form.....
Obvious that there's enough extra in that 705 kit to get a guy in trouble in a hurry. I've heard about riders with their large adventure bikes lamenting about how quickly things can go south with all the power the bikes produce. My '11 is bone stock but the doohickey and the thermobob and one tooth higher in front and one tooth higher in back. Plenty of grunt on the road, fast enough to get in trouble on the gnarly 2 track. No trail riding. KLR I believe is too big and too heavy for the trail. Thanks for the video.
I'm getting the 705 big bore plus stage 4 carb, giant air box, ported head, bigger valves, hot cams
Don't get too carried away.... its always going to be a KLR
@@clarkrupp your right but 32hp stock on a 650 is really pathetic and I think this bike should have at least 60hp and with these upgrades it should help me get closer the proper power of the bike
@@eragonshadeslayer1 Make sure you rebuild/upgrade the suspension if you're going off the asphalt and weigh more than 160 lbs.
I would like to see these mods along with the mikuni slide carb! KLR beast mode!
@@ChristopherDarby I finally got the loan to get this upgrade done on my klr subscribe to my channel if you want to see it, keep in mind though itl be about a month till i get my bike back but i will have a video up about it the day i get it back from the shop, I'm getting every possible power upgrade done to it
What's the hp to the wheels because my stock 650 only puts 32hp to the wheel and is really pathetic hp for the size of engine and weight of the bike, is the 705 the biggest kit or can you do a 750 or a 800cc big bore? Just wondering since my while engine is going to crap because it has no piston rings AT all
I'd like to know that also ? ;(
@@patrickteto the kit on this guy's bike is about as big as it gets
Supposedly the 685 kit will give you about 4 more horsepower So I suspect this will give you a little bit more. That being said Past a certain point it's time to look at a different bike,V strom 1000 ktm 1150.
What they REALLY need to do is come out with a real dual sport bike to compete with KTM and Husky !
😀👍✝🙏
I know this is an old post but I was wondering if you did just the 705 sleeve and piston or did you do anything else like oversized valves, porting, hot cams, jet kit, airbox modification, etc.? What octane gas do you typically run? Now that it's been over a year have you had any issues from the 705 work?
No issues.... put in Hot Cams but over sized valves not worth the $$ for marginal if any improvement. Main jet got upsized and the airbox and needle washer mods were done a looong time ago. Does fine on regular gas.
Clark Rupp, interesting that you say the valves not worth the money, a tech at mtech said that choosing between the valves and cams he recommended the valves.
Clark Rupp, my goal is less vibration and good torque. Not worried about top end speed. But don't want to kill the mpg.
I find the 705 to be quite smooth. I have a FMF pipe and with the larger main jet I'm down to about 40 mpg. So what's better Ford or Chevy ? I talked with a shop in Alabama and the guy said they flowed the head with larger valves and found the larger valve created an
"umbrella" effect whereby the air was not able to flow around the larger valve as efficiently thereby reducing the amount of air that actually entered the cylinder - good enough explanation for me !
Clark Rupp, any chance you'd provide the shop name and phone number?
Hey how does the thinner cylinder walls hold up for heat?
Eragon Shadeslayer Fine.... I don’t ride this bike very much anymore but when I do I always think it’s actually kind of fun. Power much better, better throttle response and much smoother.
How long did it take for you to get your bike back from being upgraded
I did it myself except the machining. I had the cylinder back 2 weeks after I shipped it.
can you comment on what I should budget for this
Just the piston, rings and barrel will run you $499 - includes all necessary gaskets as well. From there you'll need another $175 for the machining and ring gap checking. From there the sky is sort of the limit...... I did the cams for another $400 and passed on the head porting which would have been another $375. I had heard from one machine shop that their analysis of the over-sized valves did nothing to get more air into the engine as the larger valve created a larger surface to get around on the back side and the net gain was zero. One machine shop's opinion but for valves, labor to recut the seats, seals and springs was pushing another $300. I did do the FMF Q4 exhaust which was $399 I think...... So.......I dropped $1,500 into the mod but since I tore up my original head I had to cough up another $500 on EBAY for another head. Need to be realistic......it's a KLR but I'm totally happy with the outcome - well, having so much fun I need to get a Husky 701 now since the KLR is just to heavy to tackle anything truly off-road.
08-09 Are bad about burning oil
James Campbell tell me about it
I got a 2011 klr 650 and it's never ever burned oil
what needs to be done here is kawi needs to make there own kit's 680 725's whatever size you can buy all the parts kawi has it all figured out so there's no problem's just like Honda with ther xr 650 r kits cam kits 1st 2nd stage etcetc who whats to still be tinkering not me buy it stock leave it and ride it
Clark Rupp are you in Alabama?
NorCal
What about KLRs with EFI?
No idea..... check on KLR forums or with Schnitz Racing.
is it a 650 stock or is it a 705 stock size
650
705 is almost a 4 mm overbore.
How did it hold up?
I don't ride it very often anymore - too many other bikes. Ran it for the first time in 6 months last weekend and clicked off 250 miles. Makes me wonder why I don't use it more often.
No stock KLR can do that kind of stuff? Disagree
No, You're right.... stock KLR's cannot do that.... But its more to do with the suspension as opposed to a few more hp.
A gen 1 can do that at 60 mph
Keep burning the oil
This poor bike maybe gets out 1-2 times a year now. Humm... do I ride the Concours, the 501 Husky or the 300RR Beta - naw..... I'll go ride the KLR.....right
