I ride this kit for 6 years, still delivery strong power, no oil consume. Hard trail, including Moab.

Installation note
I found the pictorial guides indispensable. I did struggle with carb removal in tearing the engine down, and avoided the battle on re-assembly by simply removing the rubber boot from the intake manifold, attaching it directly to the carb, and then re-attaching it to the engine.

Great big bore kit guys. The bike now rev's a lot more freely with less vibes & pops the front wheel easy now. A must do for KLRs.

KLR650/705
Torque Happy. Hard First and Second Gear "Roll On's" and the front tire is up. Still motor's around town happily, but loves headed up in the mountains on cool morning's. I'm getting ready to do another- one of my friends had to have my bike after taking it for a short spin. Got his KLR650 in trade so already have something to work with.

Great product, easy to install.
This is the best upgrade I have ever made to my 2007 KLR650. There is noticeably less engine vibration.I would recommend this to all KLR owners. If your on the fence about weather to do it or not because you think it's to big of a job, go for it. They make it as easy as the alphabet with the provided instructions.

Fantastic Product, Fantastic Company
I have a small motorcycle repair business which has become synonymous with the words quality and reliability. I can attribute this largely to the Schnitz products that I use. I have now done fifteen big bore 685cc conversions and thanks to your outstanding products have had no come backs. Most of my customers live far as 500km away but bring their bikes for this kit installation. My own 685 now has over 124 000kms on it and is as smooth as ever. I am saving to put a 705 kit in mine and test it. Thereby giving my customers a choice of two kits. The 685 Kit is shipped with so much information that the job could be done by anyone with a limited technical knowledge. Schnitz, thanks for an excellent package!!
