    I've had this bike for over a year and it's very powerful. I am 5' 8" 185 lbs. I added a universal (Amazon) light kit for night riding. Make sure you change the spark plugs every now and then if its rough starting or idling and use a trickle charger to keep the battery nice and strong. Also warm up for at least 10 minutes before ridng and it will perform awesome!

      Thank you for your comment. I am about 6’ 165 lbs and I was worried this bike wouldn’t have enough power for me. I’m 17 years old and I will be purchasing my first brand new 2022 bike with my own hard earned money so I’m glad I found an affordable bike That will have a good amount of power. Already have a 220 2 stroke but wanted a change of pace. Wanna learn wheelies and better control on a bike yk

    Is this a green sticker bike like the CRF125F?

    • @dcxplant
      @dcxplant 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The KLX 140 is "like" a CRF125F in that it's a motorcycle for dirt riding. However, the KLX has a bigger engine, better suspension, and better brakes. For kids/entry level dirt bikes, Kawasaki is the brand to be in. I love Honda's, don't get me wrong, but the small dirt bike segment (100cc or more but less than 230/250cc) KLX's are awesome. the KLX 140 (in any of the three wheel sizes) are awesome and at a good price.

      Honestly I have hit jumps on my 2011 klx140 and it handles fine but if your suspension is tight you will bounce up in your seat but other than that it handles really good...it also helps that it’s a kid to adult size bike that is good for trails because it goes 65 mph even going into ruts with soft suspension/ upgrades are also not very expensive
