KLR 685 Kit -- Have one???

[twschmitt2001]

Hello fellow KLR 650 owners,
I am considering getting a 685 Kit for my KLR. If anyone has one of these installed could you let me know how it performs. Actually, if you're in the lower mainland would you mind me giving your bike a try?
Let me know you can email me at twschmitt2001 -at- gmail.com

Thanks

I have the 705. 50,000km on it so far. Does wake up the KLR. The J/T piston used in the 685 and 705 is nearly 3oz. lighter than the stock slug, that's the trick. Less vibration and snappier pick up. Same awesome bottom and mid-range response only quicker, high rpm still crappy. Pick a reputable small engines machine shop, the quality of the machining is also key of course. I used Mongoose Machine in Port Coquitlam.
