Details
This kit fits all years of the KLR600 and KLR650,
but is directed at the 2022 KLR as the bike does not have a coolant temperature gauge from the factory.
This kit utilizes a modified Thermo-Bob 2 called the "2A", which is machined differently to add a port for a temperature gauge.
The kit includes a Trail Tech digital temperature gauge plus a drilling template to mount it properly on your 2022’s dashboard, just below the factory instrument panel.
It also includes black, stainless attachment hardware for a professional look that mimics the factory layout.
The Thermo-Bob is a machined, hard-anodized aluminum external thermostat with a coolant bypass.
It allows coolant to bypass the radiator during warm-up, speeding warm-up and eliminating the surges of cold coolant year-round.
It also raises the operating temperature at the top of the cylinder to 195°F from 158°F… more importantly,
it raises the operating temperature at the bottom of the cylinder to 185°F from downright cold.
It should eliminate the out-of-round cylinders that are common to the KLR as it ages which usually results in increased oil consumption.
The Thermo-Bob 2 eliminates the inconsistent engine temperature prevalent on the KLR650.
Allows the engine to maintain a consistent 195 degree operating temperature for better performance and longer engine life.
Easy installation.
