KLR250 Full Restoration and Mods

Restorations and modifications I've done on my 1990 KLR250D :

Thermo-Bob 2 for KLR250

Stabilize engine temperature swings and eliminates cylinder hotspots. It is originally a popular mod for KLR650 brother

https://shop.watt-man.com/Thermo-Bob-2-for-KLR250-ALL-MODEL-YEARS-TB2-R.htm

Kawasaki cut corners in the KLR cooling system, and the Thermo-Bob modifies KLR's cooling system to operate like automotive systems have for decades.  In stock form, the KLR runs too cool in colder climate. 

Ebay Aluminum Skid Plate for a Kawasaki KLR250 1985-2005

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/303259183756

Mojave intake camshaft 12044-1181

As my original intake cam (would have been part number 12044-1119) was worn I replaced it with easily available Mojave cam. It looks to have more aggresive and higher profile. Works very well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZFW9Gz4Wdk

An important note when changing camshart is to 

- Change the follower at the same time

- Use specialised cam assembly lube liberally (not just oil)

- Running in process of fluctuating around 3000RPM for 30 minutes to seat the cam and follower

I did not do those and was worn again soon

Immix Racing cargo carrier

Ebay 5L motorcycle jerry can

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/163283029972

Very robust and strong mounting. I've crashed on to it with no problems

Ebay Heater Grip

It's got 4 temperature settings which can be operated using left hand. I connect it using a relay patched to the day running light cable

T-Mod

To prevent carburettor to starve from fuel when doing water crossing, add a plastic T-connector on the breather hose

Ebay Generic X-Grip motorcycle mount

Very strong and has already got a USB charger to make a neat installation

Ebay Cigarette-lighter and USB charger

Cigarette lighter socket to power up tyre pump etc and 2 USB charger.

Some versions have voltage indicator also. I wired it directly to the battery as it's got a switch. Useful when the motorbike is not running

Oxford OL200 Topbox 24ltr

Tubeless tyre mod

Using generic tube to convert the spoked rim to Tubeless tyre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60bi1r2Xvbo

Front gear 13T

The stock 15T is great for all-round road and dirt. I've tried 16T and it's great if you do 110kph+ trips 

13T is great for dirt and climbs enduro tracks

Supercheap ToolPRO  300mm

https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-tool-bag-handy-300mm/224267.html?cgid=SCA01051002#prefn1=srgBrand&prefv1=ToolPRO&sz=60&start=2

Great to organise toolbox, tyre lever etc. and can move between bikes quickly

Tyres

My main criteria is 50/50 handling and ease of installation, in case I need to fix punctures on the road. The compromise of softer compound is tyre life

Rear: Dunlop D605 4.6-17

Front: Continental TKC80

KTI Personal Locator Beacon (PLB)

Emergency locator, hope I never have to use it but necessary when heading into remote areas

KLR250 Service Manual

I always carry a .pdf copy of the service manual on my phone... just in case. You need the base manual as well which is actually a KLR600 one.

Kawasaki KLR650 Tengai Restoration and Mods

Restorations and Modifications I've done on my 1990 KLR650B Tengai:

Full Crash Bar 

Custom-made by "Evil Chop" facebook manufacturer from Romania
However  I heard that he's not making them anymore except for group buys

EagleMike Doohickey kit

https://www.eaglemike.com/Complete-kit-w-torsion-spring-less-tools-clkwtslt.htm
In Australia it's available from AdventureBikeAustralia website:
https://adventurebikeaustralia.com.au/product/doohicky-kit/

Upgrade to the weak stock Balancer Chain Adjuster Lever which could destroy the engine.

You need a special wrench (or easily make one) to install it

Thermo-Bob 2

Stabilize engine temperature swings and eliminates cylinder hotspots

https://shop.watt-man.com/Thermo-Bob-2-for-KLR650-ALL-MODEL-YEARS-TB2.htm

Kawasaki cut corners in the KLR cooling system, and the Thermo-Bob modifies KLR's cooling system to operate like automotive systems have for decades.  In stock form, the KLR runs too cool in colder climate. 

Centre stand

Ebay "Kawasaki KLR650 CENTER STAND 1987-2018" from seller carlspowersportssupply

Note that:

The "step lifter" will hit the passanger footpeg bracket. I just simply shorten it by few cm's.

The rear wheel would not lift sufficiently without the extension but installing it will make lifting the bike difficult. I don't install it and just put a rock once the bike is on centrestand. Much easier

Ricochet bash/skid plate

From MXStore Australia

https://www.mxstore.com.au/p/Ricochet-Kawasaki-KLR650-88-07-Bash-Plate/72-230A

Eaglemike KLX Jet kit 

https://www.eaglemike.com/KLX-jet-kit-KLXJK.htm

Improves the fueling of KLR650 to be less tractor-like and more linear feel throughout the rev range.

This is fully-reversible jetting change with no need to drill etc

Happy Trail racks and panniers

I bought the "gen-2" rack as it was available cheap locally instead of shipping from the USA.

The gen-2 rack does not fit Tengai perfectly, only one rear mounting is able to align.

Note that both gen-1 and gen-2 racks will require a tab to be welded to Tengai's subframe - or if you're lazy like me just use pipe clamp. It' secured enough

Ebay Heater Grip

"7/8 inch 22mm Motorcycle Universal Heated Molded Handlebar Hand Grips Warmer"

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-Pair-22mm-Motorcycle-ATV-Electric-Hot-Heated-Warm-Hand-Grips-Handlebar/223917412159?hash=item3422848f3f:g:CtgAAOSw7speS6DG

It's got 4 temperature settings which can be operated using left hand. I connect it using a relay patched to the day running light cable

T-Mod

Ebay Generic X-Grip motorcycle mount

Very strong and has already got a USB charger to make a neat installation

Note: updated with Wireless (!) charger which works very well and obviously no more worries of charging in rainy conditions:

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/352830017353

Ebay Cigarette-lighter and USB charger

Cigarette lighter socket to power up tyre pump etc and 2 USB charger. 

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Motorbike-Motorcycle-USB-Charger-Power-Adapter-Socket-Phone-GPS-Waterproof-12V/283168684752?hash=item41ee2b3ad0:g:ceUAAOSwUVBboiDF

Some versions have voltage indicator also. I wired it directly to the battery as it's got a switch. Useful when the motorbike is not running

Ebay 52L Top box

Great capacity but the latching to base is not strong enough for dirt riding/pot holes and mine had came off once. I ended up bolting it permanently.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/52L-Motorcycle-Storage-Box-Luggage-Scooter-Topbox-Rear-Top-Tail-Latch-Secure/184200063416?hash=item2ae32de9b8:g:hkMAAOSwd5FeYl50

Tubeless tyre mod

Using generic tube to convert the spoked rim to Tubeless tyre

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60bi1r2Xvbo

Front gear 14T

The stock 15T is great for all-round road and dirt. I've tried 16T and it's great if you do 110kph+ trips 

14T is great for dirt and you lose 5kph and ended up doing 95kph at 4500rpm on freeways.

Note that Tengai's front sprocket is much thicker than KLR650. It's got 12.8mm thinckness

Supercheap ToolPRO  300mm

https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-tool-bag-handy-300mm/224267.html?cgid=SCA01051002#prefn1=srgBrand&prefv1=ToolPRO&sz=60&start=2

Great to organise toolbox, tyre lever etc. and can move between bikes quickly

1" Raising link

Added 1" ride height to reduce scraping using 121mm raiser:

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/223106371299

The raising link raised the bike to 1" and also contributes a firmer feel to the spring.

Top Gun 7.4kg Rear Spring

On fast dips and fully loaded the rear bottoms out frequently. For my 91kg of weight I upgraded the rear spring using Top Gun 7.4kg replacement

Tyres

My main criteria is 50/50 handling and ease of installation, in case I need to fix punctures on the road. The compromise of softer compound is tyre life

Rear: Dunlop D605 4.6-17

Front: Continental TKC80

I convert them to tubeless as per video here:
