This upgraded thermostat kit for the KLR650 addresses the issue of overcooling in temperatures below 80 degrees Fahrenheit and offers several benefits for engine performance, reliability, and longevity. Here are the key features of this kit:

Consistent Optimal Temperature: The thermostat ensures that the engine temperature remains at an optimal level of 195°F. This eliminates temperature inconsistencies, allowing for better performance and a longer-lasting engine.

Improved Warm-Up: During warm-up, the thermostat allows coolant to bypass the radiator. This shortens the warm-up time and eliminates discomfort caused by surges of cold coolant.

Extended Engine Life: By increasing the top operating temperature of the cylinder to 195°F and the bottom operating temperature to 185°F, the thermostat reduces oil consumption and eliminates out-of-round cylinders commonly seen with aging engines. This ensures that the engine lasts longer.

Easy Installation: The kit includes all the necessary components for easy installation. These components include a hard-anodized aluminum exterior thermostat, thermostat housing, bypass hose and fittings, O-rings, and hardware.

It's important to note that the 2022 & Later KLR650 does not come equipped with a coolant temperature gauge. If you want to monitor the coolant temperature, you have the option of purchasing a Digital Thermometer separately. This thermometer can be installed using the 1/8-28 BSPP port provided in this kit.  Click Here for Details!

Additionally, the Australian version of this kit includes a carburetor heating port. To connect it, you simply remove the plug screw.

Overall, this upgraded thermostat kit offers a solution to the overcooling issue and provides benefits such as consistent temperature, improved warm-up, extended engine life, and easy installation.
