And that the KLR650 engine could benefit from a modern positive crankcase ventilation (admits fresh air) and cooling systems (bypass circuit) to improve cold weather performance. http://www.sae.org/technical/papers/2004-32-0001 ED

I know it's a ruse but has anyone worked through the math? 1.) To me the KLR charging system (<~200w) couldn't run the 1hp electric grinding motor (~800+w). 2.) The 20% hp loss puts the KLR at ~28 hp and what good is that? 3.) Savings are ~1/3 of your current cost per mile, which at $3 / gal, I figure my cost per mile is $0.0545. 1/3 of that is $0.018 / mile savings. When taking into account the coal grinder's cost of $10,000, it would require you to drive 555,555 miles to breakeven (simple payback calc). Don R100, A6F
