One brief comment: A full rebuild is great ... but be sure to do a short "shake down"ride before leaving USA. I've read several ride reports over the years where one small mistake on the rebuild took out the engine, leaving rider stranded.
Some may remember Jammin Jay and his 3 year RTW ride. This happened to him and delayed his departure buy (IIRC) 6 months or a year. I'd do a very conservative, careful rebuild ... not a "hop up".
The good news is most who rebuild (if done right!) have no more OIL USE which seems endemic to KLR's.
