There are two good sources for information. One is the Yahoo KLX650 Group, I am a moderator. Not a recreational forum, but rather lots of good information. The general forum is hard to work, but the search works well. My KLX650 has a Vulcan 1500 piston, Wossner makes one that is popular, making the bike a 678cc and pull a lot stronger.
Then there is the thread on the ADVrider site under the Thumpers forum. It is KLX650 riders UNITE. It isn't really busy due to the rarity of the model, but there is a ton of information there too. One rider in Australia that built a rally version with a stroker making 700cc and incredible power.
Go to the ADVrider forum, in the Thumpers, under the KLX650 riders UNITE! thread you can find Foggy's (John Fogarty) Dakar style KLX650. He is back row on the right, his son Aaron raced it in a big 700 mile Aussie event:
My 650 has 49,000+ miles. I need to tear it down, I think I have a rod bearing going bad, we found some bronze colored flakes in the oil filter last fall. I really enjoy the bike, will probably go with 17 rims when done, I have a 250 for more off-road dual sport stuff now.
