Built around Kawasaki's motorcycle platform, the 2025 Kawasaki Klr650S ABS utilizes a 652 cc engine layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 100.0 x 83.0mm with a 9.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Klr650S ABS measures 460.6 kg (1015 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 32 mm (1.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 59 mm (2.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.1-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
