Hi all,
Attempting to revive a KLR650:
Parts/things I already have:
# 2010 KLR 650 - rolling chassis (8000km on the clock) - bought it as per pics
# Picked up a KLR600 engine for Cheap - Mostly for the head - to my knowledge it fitts the 650 (gasket partno also the same etc) - problem, main bearing (roller bearing) next to Crod is worn
# Picked up KLR 650 (2005) engine - Head shot - Piston ate away at the barrel and caused Crank/Big end failure
Now I'm contemplating one of the following options:
# Fit KLR600 Head on the 650 Engine
# Bore out the KLR650 barel (Vulcan 1500 (678cc) piston or 685cc kit)
# 1. Try and recondition 650 crank
2. Try and fit 650 conrod onto 600 crank
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Cheers Wessel
(Ek dink daai KLR het die vinnigste ooit gery agterop daai bakkie) :ricky:
