There are only 2 major systems in the way of this bike starting, or at least I hope, and the coolant system is one of those. Along side the radiator, hoses, overflow tank and the like, I’ll also be installing a Watt-man Thermo-Bob kit. Other than the Doohickey, the Thermo-Bob kit is probably the most important KLR650 Mod. According to Watt-Mans website, “Kawasaki cut corners in the KLR cooling system, and the Thermo-Bob modifies your cooling system to operate like automotive systems have for decades. In stock form, the KLR runs too cool when ridden in temps below about 80 - 85F. The cooler outside it is, the worse a stock bike is. Plus, the factory cooling system relies on surges of cold coolant every 30 seconds at the bottom of the cylinder to control engine temperature… just look at the plots of actual measured temps.”
So if you are installing a big bore kit this is even more important. As I state in the video, it would be better if your electrical system is already installed at this point so if you are following along in the video series, you should do video 20 first.
