In 2008 the KLR650 was extensively redesigned compared to the minor year over year updates seen throughout the first generation. A vast majority of the changes are comfort and quality of life improvements, rather than performance-related changes.
Changes from first generation
New trim, fairings, and turn signals
New instrument panel and gauge cluster
Redesigned handlebar control switches
Twin-piston rear brake caliper (previously single piston)
Alternator upgraded to 17 A output, providing 36 additional watts
Reinforced idler-shaft lever (called the doohickey by KLR riders).[5]
Fork diameter increased from 38 to 41 mm (1.5 to 1.6 in)
New rear swingarm
Larger petal-style vented brake rotors (280mm/240mm)
Increased radiator capacity
Other minor changes were also done, such as a dual beam headlight, larger luggage rack, firmer seat and larger-diameter wheel spokes. With the numerous changes and improvements, the second generation KLR gained 16 lb (7.3 kg) of dry weight to the bike.
Incremental changes
During production of the second generation of KLR, the following changes were made:[3][4]
2009: New piston rings are thinner and have more tension, resulting in a significant reduction in oil consumption.
Mid-2011: New clutch basket with only 6 clutch plates (vs 7 since 1996). The change starts at engine number KL650AEA72320.
2014 1/2: (Mid year) The 41mm forks were upgraded to make the springs 40% firmer and to increase the firmness of the rebound damping by 27%. The Uni-Trak rear linkage suspension were upgraded to provide a 63% increase spring rate and to increase the firmness of the rebound damping by 83%. Changes to the seat were made to make it narrower with a more tapered front. The width of the rear of the seat has been increased and has become less tapered.
