Tengai vs KLR650

The suspension has an inch or so less travel, making the seat height lower.

Larger front brake rotor with guard. The caliper is a double piston unit.

Push to cancel turn signals

Instrument cluster is different, and are not fixed as on the A model.

Front forks are different to accommodate the fender and caliper mounting, and the stanchion tubes are 4mm compared to 3mm on the A models..

Basic drive train is the same as an A model.

Seems there was some rumor regarding the Tengai have a higher output electrical system. I have never been able to confirm that.

https://www.klrforum.com/klr-other-motorcycle-related-discussion/9353-difference-between-klr-tengai.html

Differences between these bikes include a dual piston front caliper on the Tengai versus a single on the KLR, shorter but thicker forks, and a much nicer instrument panel that was attached to the frame and not the triple tree. In addition, the rear subframes are slightly different and the rear footpegs have a different mounting bracket setup. In other words, be careful when you are shopping for a rear rack system. You’d be tempted to buy one for a KLR because they’re much more prevalent, but it might not fit correctly. Luggage might already be taken care for you, though, as the owner is throwing in a Givi top case with this Kawi.

Differences are: Bigger front brakes, bigger forks (diameter), bigger fuel tank, better suspension all round (but still shit), different controls (i.e push to cancel indicators etc) and most importantly better looking!

GPZ900R Carburettor Jetting

In my case I de-restricted an Australian 1990 (A7) model:

Original CVK34 Main: 100, Pilot: 35, Needle N27I, half airbox port
Replacement CVK34 Main: 135, Pilot: 35, Needle N27B, full airbox ports
Fuel level: The top of bottom bowl

Full airbox port photo. On the original A7 airbox the opening is only half.

This is as far as the Australian Models go.
The Dealer advised that the A8 was the last of the Factory Imports Sold in Aus.
You can see that the 1988(A5) and 1989(A6) models had Smaller Bore CVK32's.

The impact of smaller Carburettors is maybe slightly better or more efficient fuel
metering at lower to mid-range Rpm, however you do lose out with Top-end power.
You need a Bigger Bore carburettor to get maximum power at High rpm.
There is no compromise here.

So, as a suppliment to the section on re-establishing the Power of the GPz900R,
to the original Specs of at least 115 bhp Engine, then you should look at
getting a set of CVK34 mm Carbs if your model has the CVK32's fitted.
As well as the Airbox modification I mentioned.
And of course jetting accordingly, to get the Air/Fuel mix correct.
You may need to adjust the needle height, or get a 'variable' needle.

As a guestimate, with a nice 4-1 pipe and free-flowing muffler,
CVK34's (jetted), and an Open Airbox, and Hi-flow filter,
I would think you could reasonably expect to add about 12-15 Hp (maybe more)
to the Original 115 bhp (Engine).
If so, you would have a 130 bhp GPz900R - which would be no slouch.
Pod filters and a DynoJet Kit, or actual Dyno Tuning your Bike,
could even see you near to a 140 bhp (Engine).
And if you changed the CAM's ... who knows ...

Have fun.
