White Bros made a big bore kit for these, which helped performance. I periodically toy with buying one, but haven't. Carburetors are a bit of a non-starter for me anymore.


8 years of ownership. Each spring, I air up the tires, open the petcock, hit the choke, press the button, and it starts up and runs perfectly. Same as my Bonneville. The fear of carbs is vastly overstated. Ask any KLR650 rider.
