I just bought a’23 and still breaking it in. I also live in Idaho, but up north near Coeur d’ Alene. Miles of forest roads to explore. I like your mods. 😊
I agree! I have the KLX 250 and I just love mine as well. Yes you have a bigger engine, but I love riding this bike pretty much anywhere! I prefer dirt road and better yet off road! It is a great do anything dirt bike!👍
I actually sold my 2018 KTM 350 excf very capable and fast bike just didnt enjoy trail riding on it. I just bought a 2021 klx 300 quit a bit less power but just as capable and more comfortable great bike.
I had an 06 klx250s and it was the slowest, most boring bike I've ever ridden. Your bike isn't good and don't bother comparing it to the 300 which is way better.
I’m 6’3” 225 and manage the bike well. I went with a heavy duty racetec rear spring. Made a huge difference by stuffing the bike up. Also a 30mm bar riser. Between those two things the bike has become very comfortable.
The ONLY thing the bike lacks is RANGE... It NEEDS a larger fuel tank say 5 Gallons ...... The After market I found is barely an improvement over the stock tank and cost big bucks.... Simply not worth it ..... IF I was trailering to a site I would change the gearing for trail use... Great Bike.... Owned a KLR 650 and couldn't kill it...
The KLX300 dual sport “excellent at nothing, but good at everything”. It’s definitely a great bike to own.
Right, it’s just a well rounded bike!
@@idahoadventuresuncut question…how often do you clean the air filter on your klx?

I hear the ride up the back side of Schweitzer is a sweet ride!!
That intro had no business going that hard lol great vid! I’m currently trying to find a KLX 300 right now, hard to find at the moment.
Thank you for an honest riders view review not a complete spec breakdown telling me stuff I don’t need to worry about!😂
I have the same bike don’t be fooled by the 300 cc engine it’s got impressive torque throughout the six speeds. Pulls nicely

It’s a true essence of a dual sport

Cool looking motorcycle. Got the KLX250S 2016. Love it! Great video 👍
The bike looks cool! It will look even better if you tint the windshield
love your trail 😜 fantastic views, Kawasaki 300 what more do you want.
Great video. Let us know if you see Bigfoot.
I notice you have a windscreen.
I've been looking for one for my KLX250.
Do you find it makes a significant difference on the open road?
Yes, a windscreen helps a lot on the highway at higher speeds
Cool video. Great bike 👍🏻
Hey, I like the windscreen. Where did you get it, what brand, what additional bits did you need?
I’m honestly not sure, I googled 7/8th bar windshield and it worked. No extra hardware needed

Many ppl have mentioned in your videos about the windshield. Where did you get the windshield? Tia

If you look hard it looks like he flipped the windshield upside down and drilled new holes, i think it looks pretty cool like that.
How much do you weigh, regarding the rear spring. I'm looking to get a KLX and I weigh about 225. thank you,
I’m about 220. Highly recommend heavy duty spring for rear. I went with a race tech spring. Front fork is fine from factory.
Hey neighbor, Im in Nampa. Im still trying to get my hands on one. Just got the wife a Xt250 the other day. Have to link up and go ride sometime!
What link for the windshied? Thanks bro ❤
Where did you get the windshield
Is the seat cover like soft foam or gel? Where can I find it?
Sweet!
Can you send a list of your mods?
Ice man, you said you are a big boy… I’m interested about this bike but at 6’3 and 250 I’m not sure. What do you think?

@@idahoadventuresuncut Tks man, nothing on the fork?
What brand of handgrip protectors are you using? Where id you purchase them? I can not find any that fit my '21 KLX300
Most every part that fits a 2018-2020 KLX250 has fit my KLX300 (rack, levers, skid plate, sliders, etc)
Do you have a link for that windscreen? I just bought a KLX 300 and I’d like to put windscreen on it
I don’t, I just googled 7/8th handlebar windshield. Bought the one with the best reviews
@@idahoadventuresuncut thx
Just in case i cant find the video, what windshield is that?
You have an idea of how many miles you get out of a tank?
50/65 depending on gear setup.
@@idahoadventuresuncut that is not very far at all. I was hoping perhaps 60 miles per gallon, or 120 miles to a tank.
@@MarkSpencerAZ yes easily goes 120 mi on a tank
Where did you buy your wind screen?

The range is definitely a limiter and forces you to plan accordingly. The CRF rally comes with 3.2 gallon and I’d like to have seen that on the klx
Are you a member of the FB group Boise Ole' Guys Dual Sport?
Every carry extra fuel with you? 2 gallons aint much, Kawasaki should have put bigger tank on this. I’d be happy with even an extra quarter gallon.
Yes, I often carry an additional 2-gal on the back. Saved me a handful of times already
Don't they make aftermarket fuel tanks with higher capacity?
@@LA_Commander there is one, it is only .7 of a gallon more fuel. Best bet is to carry extra in MSR bottles and/or a Giant Loop bladder.
@@pinkiewerewolf Oh wow, that isn't much. I thought someone would make a larger tank than that.
@@LA_Commander Not at this time. It’s the biggest negative for the KLX right now.
