excellent and very durable
I've had mine for a while, got over 50k miles and it been terrific. A little smoother and more powerful, no drop in fuel economy, I use bike as a travel bike in South America and it sees lots tough conditions. No oil use between changes. I go 10k miles using the 15-50 Motul full synthetic. I'll be getting another old KLR650 to build another travel bike up and will use the 705 kit on that.

The ride is so smooth
I installed the Schnitz 685 kit a few months ago because I had a bad oil consumption problem on my 08 KLR, which had only 21,600 km on the clock. Well, problem solved! I now have 26,764 km on the clock and have not needed to add a drop of oil since the kit was installed. Apart from solving the initial problem I have the added power and torque advantage. Never dyno’ed the bike, but I can FEEL it – and the ride is so smooth! I can only recommend this kit. Thank you for a great product.

Frekin Awesome
Bike Fired right up! Took it for a 85 mile break in right away, and not one problem. Noticably snappier throttle, and much more usable power. So far no oil use. Before the kit I would have notice oil consumption in only 85 miles. The picture instructions on this website are possibly the best Ive ever used... Thank you so much for making this kit, and providing the instructions. I used M-Tech for my machining work.

The difference is fantastic
I have just about 250 miles on the kit now, and the difference is fantastic! The bike makes more power, and better power down low, and the vibes are reduced significantly. This has been money well-spent indeed. Thanks for making this kit!
