Little changes have happened to the KLR 650 over the million years it has been out
... 2008 and new bikes have been known to NOT need an aftermarket exhaust header to get extra power, they already have a great design, smooth bends, and little to NO mountain welds restricting flow like the 1987 - 2007 models do
they did beef up the weld on the stock "Doohickey" but it has been reported to fail just as often as pre 2008 KLRs
Other than the "slightly restrictive" exhaust header... a few suspension changes... not much else has changed over the years to my knowledge...
Nothing has ever been "Fixed" (or even admitted to be "faulty") by Kawasaki, it has always been up to the owners of the bikes to fix the few problems that sometimes occur...
We (KLR owners) have been extremely lucky, as several of the owners of big name brand aftermarket parts companies actually ride a KLR 650, most of them ride it daily, so they came out with plenty of stuff to fix any of those 'problems' that pop up
