Dynojet lists a different part number for the 08 KLR. It includes different main jets and a different needle. The earlier kit would work but I presume the correct jet kit would work better. Fred www.arrowheadmotorsports.com

Listers, I posted on KLR650.net that I had a Dynojet stage 1&2 jet kit for 87-06 US models for sale that I purchased new in 06. I have a guy interested but he has an 08. So my question is, will the kit work on an 08? Because I have no idea. Please no negitive responses about using jet kits. I don't want to sell it to him if he can't use it. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ben, Of course it is doable. for example, With enough thrust, you can make a brick fly--think F-4 Phantom. The first thing I would do is set your KLR600 next to the KLR650 and see what is different. Not a lot, but enough. First, I would very accurately measure the distance on the swing arm mounts, as if it is exactly the same--which I have no idea if it is the same--good chance that it is--you will need a KLR650 swing arm to make this an easy(er) swap. and a brake pedal--it will need a place for the reservoir/lint to attach brake billet (I think--maybe not) brake reservoir brake line master cylinder brake switch (might the old work as well?) brake caliper/hardware and a rear wheel with brake disc and a 'nub' to attach the switch and a nub to attach the reservoir and some other various brake-hanger parts, etc. On the other hand, ride it for what it is. A pristine KLR600. It will do everything that it was ever intended to do; M-miles of smiles and will carry you to remote places and fall down just fine with a rear drum brake. and it won't cost you a dime more. IMO. smile. revmaaatin.
