At the heart of the 2007 Kawasaki KLR650 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Kawasaki utilizes a 651 cc (39.7 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 83.0 mm (3.9 x 3.3 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the KLR650 measures 152.9 kg (337 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 889 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,496 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 23.08-liter (6.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
