About the Kawasaki KLR650
Keep the KL650 model code attached to every KLR650 engine and chassis repair.
KLR650, KL650A and KL650B appear in this collection with different service-part applications. The carburetor kit identifies KL650B 1989–1991, while the air cut-off valve identifies KL650A 1987–2005. Engine gasket and fork-seal entries follow their own ranges.
Choose carburetor parts by the A or B application
Confirm the carburetor body before planning an overhaul. The B-model kit and A-model air cut-off valve address different applications and repair needs. For engine sealing, compare the gasket contents with the joints being opened; for fork work, identify the fitted fork and seal dimensions.
