The Kawasaki KLR650 was a single cylinder, four-stroke Enduro motorcycle produced by Kawasaki between 1987 and 2018. It could reach a top speed of 93 mph (149 km/h). Max torque was 36.88 ft/lbs (50.0 Nm) @ 5500 RPM. Claimed horsepower was 43.99 HP (32.8 KW) @ 4500 RPM.

History

The Kawasaki KLR650 is a long standing model in Kawasaki's lineup, as it was introduced in 1987 and is almost unchanged as of 2005. The KLR is a dual-sport motorcycle intended for use on both paved and unpaved roads. This motorcycle is heavier than specialized off-road dirt bikes, but it can handle most conditions when ridden carefully. Its counterbalanced, single-cylinder, water-cooled engine develops 44 peak bhp and can maintain speeds in excess of 80 mph (130 km/h). Typical fuel economy is 50 to 60 miles per U.S. gallon (3.9 to 4.7 L/100 km). It has a 6.1 gallon (23 litre) fuel tank and a top speed of over 100 mph (160 km/h). This motorcycle is commonly described as being useful for all types of motorcycling, without being particularly good at any of them. Many owners regard the KLR as an inexpensive touring bike, adding saddle bags and modifications to make it more comfortable on long trips.

Note: Actual gas tank capacity is approximately 5.5 gallons including reserve.


Models

  • KLR650-A: model currently sold in the USA and Canada
  • KLR650-B or Tengai: was sold in the USA in 1990 and other countries for several years afterward
  • KLR650-C: sold primarily outside of the USA and Canada (major differences include brakes, forks, subframe, and fuel tank)
  • KLR650-E: Major body style and functional upgrade.
  • A special diesel version of the KLR650 is supplied to the United States Marine Corps.

Engine

The engine was a liquid cooled single cylinder, four-stroke. A 100.0mm bore x 83.0mm stroke result in a displacement of just 651.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin cam (dohc).

Drive

The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the wet multi-disc, cable operation.

Chassis

It came with a 90/90-21 front tire and a 130/80-17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc. two-piston calipers. in the front and a single disc. single piston in the rear. The front suspension was a 41mm telescopic fork while the rear was equipped with a uni-trak single-shock system with 5-way preload and stepless rebound damping. The KLR650 was fitted with a 6.1 Gallon (23.09 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 386.91 pounds (175.5 Kg). The wheelbase was 58.31 inches (1481 mm) long.

The Kawasaki KLR 650's suspension is soft and, typical of most trail-style motorcycles, colossal fork dive buggers up the braking. It’s nothing that can’t be assuaged with some stiffer fork springs and/or thicker oil, but fundamentally the suspension/braking package is budget that works better off-road. The Kawasaki KLR650's rear brake’s not quite ineffectual. The KLR 650 underplays its hand as a round-the-world contender with no centrestand, fixed rubber blocks on the footpegs and no official hard luggage. All of which can be fixed on the aftermarket thankfully along with colossal 30 litre tanks. The Kawasaki KLR 650's charging system is a bit weedy, throwing out around 12 amps, which will limit your ability to plumb in heated vests and a GPS.

The 2005 Kawasaki KLR 650 may be the bike to do it on. Weighing in at 178.8 (392 pounds)35.0 wet, the KLR 650's 88.90 cm (35.0 in) seat height may prove to be a perfect fit depending on your inseam. The KLR 650 boasts a 651 cc powerplant to help you explore the planet in street-legal style.

It wasn’t a dirt bike and had been around so long it was like wallpaper in the Kawasaki line. The KLR is widely used as an inexpensive adventure/touring bike. The addition of luggage and personalized modifications (GPS, heated hand grips, larger windscreens) make it more functional on long trips. The KLR 650 motor, already renowned for being rugged, reliable and powerful, is now even better. There’s improved throttle response from revised ignition mapping, and revised cam timing improved high-rpm performance. A redesigned cylinder head boasts new intake porting for greater low-end torque and quicker throttle response in city traffic, as well as improved top end p speed cruising on the open road.

The Kawasaki KLR650 is a dual-purpose motorcycle intended for use on both paved and unpaved roads. It has been a long-standing model in Kawasaki's lineup, having been introduced in 1987 and remaining almost unchanged through the 2007 model. Kawasaki, in releasing the much-anticipated 2008 model, introduced the first significant redesign of the KLR650 since its inception. The KLR650 is heavier than specialized off-road dirt bikes, but it can handle most conditions when ridden carefully by a skilled rider. Its 4-stroke DOHC dual-counter balanced, single-cylinder, water-cooled engine develops a claimed 44 hp (33 kW) at the crank; typical measurements at the rear wheel are 35 horsepower (26 kW). Typical fuel economy is 45 to 60 miles per U.S. gallon (3.9 to 4.7 L/100 km). It has a claimed 6.1 gallon (23 litre) fuel tank and a top speed of approximately 105 mph (160 km/h). The KLR is widely used as an inexpensive adventure/touring bike. The addition of luggage and personalized modifications (GPS, heated handgrips, larger windscreens) make it more functional on long trips.

For 2011, Kawasaki brings us a new KLR650, for those who enjoy a stroll down a boulevard, but also who crave to get down and dirty on off-road trails. Being the best-selling dual-sport seven years in a row, this new model does not disappoint either.

With a 651cc four-stroke, DOHC, four-valve single engine, this 196 kg (dry) is surprisingly agile, so one can overcome the most severe off-road obstacles in the way, inclusing steep gradients and difficult muddy trails. The 41mm front fork with 7.9 inches of travel and the rear Uni-Trak suspension which features a five-way preload shock absorber with four-way rebound damping and 7.3 inches of rear wheel travel make it an excellent bike to ride both on and off the road.

Being the best-selling dual-sport seven years in a row, the 2013 MY Kawasaki KLR650 walks on the same path of its predecessors. Whether for a daily commute or a weekend off-road adventure, the KLR 650 performs superbly.

The 651cc 4-stroke single engine has been developed with both swift acceleration for any obstacle that might occur along the trails, and also smooth and user-friendly power delivery for long-distance rides. The 41mm front fork and the Uni-Trak rear suspension provide a long travel and predictable damping and compression to tackle the uneven back roads one might be using. At the same time, taking the KLR beyond the point where asphalt ends will offer a confident feel.

The 4mm spokes make its wheels strong enough for even the most challenging terrains, and the large 5.8 gallon fuel tank means less stopping for fuel and more long hauling.

The 2014 MY Kawasaki KLR650, like its predecessors, is one of the best dual purpose bikes available on the market. Used to be pitted against tough obstacles and rugged terrain, the KLR still has great mileage, and can carry large loads. At the same time it is still comfortable enough for long hauls and comes with easy maintenance, so it holds its spot in the top sales charts.

The 4-stroke 651cc single provides 44 horsepower and 50 Nm of torque and has been tuned to boost low-end torque, but still deliver usable top-end power.

The 41mm fork has 7.9 inches of travel, and the rear Uni-Trak incorporates a five-way preload shock absorber with 7.3 inches of travel. Together with the compact attire of the entire machine, the chassis offers plenty of real estate for two-up riding and long-range comfort.

The 2015 MY Kawasaki KLR650 sports a 651cc four-stroke single paired to a five-speed manual transmission that delivers power smoothly to the wheel, whether one is sprinting offroad or cruising on the highway.

The 41mm front fork and the Uni-Trak linkage in the rear suspension offer the best response to a variety of situations one may encounter on or off the road. The 6.1-gallon fuel tank offers increased range for longer hauls.

The Japanese have updated the seat design in this model, making it slimmer at the front and 30 mm wider at the rear, increasing rider comfort.

The new KAwasaki KLR 650 is a dual-purpose bike, the bikes from which adventure bikes were spawned. If adventure bikes are dual-purpose tourers, then the KLR 650 is a dual-purpose go for a ride, and let it take you somewhere fun bike. Not a full-fledged tourer, but as on-road/off-road capable as a dual-purpose bike can be.
