Who’s done it, @mark-claasen?
I Googled it and it’s moving the exhaust cam 1 tooth forward. Apparently it give a 7-10% performance increase.
August 22, 2016 at 10:01 am #13583Yes Edward its free power, it is most noticeable from the bottom end tapering off as you get to peak revs.
huge change in Ride-ability and makes it much easier to ride both on the road and the gravel, made my KLR feel more like the DR750
IMHO a must do mod
August 22, 2016 at 11:08 am #13584Interesting, what is it about the stock setup that causes the change to make such a difference, would it work on other bikes like the DR?
We must swap bikes one day.
August 22, 2016 at 7:26 pm #13588Apparently the factory setup is aimed at getting the best emissions rather than the best performance, so by doing the MC Mod, you are probably killing a few more baby seals per 100km (or whatever unit they use to measure emissions, I don’t recall)
October 18, 2016 at 10:03 pm #14694I think it’s whales per 1000km and it would be about 0.0056 by my very accurate calculations 🙂

October 19, 2016 at 8:50 am #14697Not an issue for a KLR as about a Zillion people have done this mod with no problems.
Its surprising how much of a difference it make to the bottom end really wakes it up and gives it the old school chug feel, IMHO also makes it quite a bit quicker on the gravel as pulls out of corners a lot harder
