The KLR motor may be anemic, but I would not say it's "strangled" in the sense that there is some reservoir of hidden power waiting to be uncorked. Exhaust and intake/carb mods will not net you more than 3hp on any credible dyno. If you want a faster KLR, spend the money on suspension.

How does changing the suspension make the KLR faster? Thanks Tim

It Don't, it just allows you to control the machine better. Dooden A15 Green Ape

Even with suspension mods, I can't use all the power I've got. If I rode at the drag strip, it might be a different story, but I don't.
