K650 case porting

Harry, i know you dont port your cases in your engine packages but is there anything to be gained by this on the kawasaki 650? i would assume that porting the sides of the cases before it enters the side transfer ports would be a good place to start besides the center transfer.

would this increase in crankcase volume threngthen or weaken the already weak intake signal?

have you guys ever done any crankcase porting on the 650?

I did a tunnal port on my 650 in 90's It ran with most 750's I had to weld the top of the reed cages, because there where so thin, but it would flow some air

Re: K650 case porting

On mods like this, the stanadard we use is a back-to-back on-water test. I would love to tell you that case porting ($210) makes a "big" difference .... but that is not the case. It does help on very high-rpm biased K650 setups ... less so on lower rpm recreational / free-ride setups ... You be the judge of your needs. The effect on signal is very ... very small.

Respectfully, Harry Klemm
