I added a new 'farkle' to my 2002 Kawasaki KLR650 yesterday,
This one has the capability of:
* Push-to-cancel turn signals
* 3 position Headlamp:
* Headlamp hi/lo beam
Best of all, it's plug-n-play. The only gotcha is having to re-locate the
enrichener choke lever. The billet mirror mount from Dual Star or
For a more 'professional' installation, you can do the following:
Due to extreme cold weather, I haven't completed the drilling process yet so I'm just using a ziptie around the metal cable end of
the enrichener and the handlebar, and it works fine.
The push to cancel turn signal switch is sold on eBay by a company called Cycle Analyst at a price of $79 and the item comes bundled with a new mirror mount and hardware to re-locate the
enrichener lever.
Turns out the fella at Cycle Analyst also makes
the switch conversion for Sport Tour. I already had a billet mirror mount so I called Sport Tour to inquire about their offerings and was told they would not break up the package (switch &
enrichener lever conversion).
The very same switch is also available
from a company named
Four Strokes Only.
Four Strokes Only price is usually $59, but they are on sale now for $49. Their
switches ARE NOT modified to work on the KLR. You have to do that
yourself. For $10, I figured I'd let someone else do the mods, so I bought
it from the Cycle Analyst fella.
I'd like to add that if you haven't done so already, bump up the rating of the stock
headlamp fuse. The "Outta my way" flasher has both headlamp filaments on
simultaneously and there's a chance that the added current will pop the stock 10 Amp headlamp fuse.

Fred Hink/ Arrowhead Motorsports makes it
relatively easy to do since the mirror mount already has a hole drilled in place.
Simply tap the hole for a 6mm x 1.00mm screw, drill out the hole in the
lever bracket for clearance for the 6mm screw, then remount.
Look at the back of the enrichener and you will see a groove, which when
mounted under the original switch, engages in a rib that keeps it from
rotating. Determine how you want to position the lever on the billet
mirror mount, then drill and tap a hole for a short 3-4mm pan head screw.
This will keep the lever from rotating on the mount. Insert the 3-4mm
screw in the mount, then mount the lever using a 6mm screw of the
appropriate length.
The price for the plug-n-play switch by itself without the mirror mount or enrichener lever hardware was $65 including shipping.
