Thanks Richy! Can’t wait to get some more seat time on it. It sure is a completely different feel from the two stroke. Loving it. Catch ya soon! Stay cool 🍻
Really loved the video sir! One day when I don’t live in a condo and I own property and reconnect with my roots from riding from my youth, KX250x is now my dream bike! Kawasaki green for life! Loved the go pro action, and being an audio engineer, great editing on the videos. You are amazing! Thank you for this :)
Thanks Ryan! I got out of riding for 8 years or so after I turned 25. So happy to have gotten back into it though. I’m loving this Kawi and you will too. Thanks for the kind words on the video too! And there will be lots more GoPro Kawi footage coming!! Catch you soon
Beautiful bike. I love the Kawis. You got a great deal on it. When I got my 450 honda it was the same kinda thing, the bike looked brand new. A father got the bike for his son then realized how much power it had then sold it. The bike looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor, minus a bit of tire wear from riding it up and down the pave road to his girlfriends house and back. and I got it for 6000 CAD. Now I got the itch to get some bikes out. I think we got enough rain out here that the off road bans have been lifted. Great bike man. Not sure how I feel about the no kick start. But that e start is going to be soo nice off road.
Thanks Curtis! It’s crazy dry around here too we’re getting a lot of haze from you guyses wildfires right now. Dust would be awful if riding with anyone else right now. But yes I’m pumped about this Kawi it’s really got me more excited about riding than I’ve been in a long time
Use the momentum of the bike when you are rolling toward the bike stand. Hit the front brake at the right time and the bike will pull up onto the stand like it weighs 10 pounds.
I ride/race 23 KX250 (non-X) I like the bottom end torque of the white coupler best. I don't need the top end as I'm not A class rider, but the bottom is worth it. The factory can is stupid loud so I swapped FMF 4.1 slip on which is much better on the ears. Everyone loves this, hates that etc but I have no complaints about the bike at all for the price. I don't care about a handle bar map switch but others can't handle not having what everyone else has. I don't see myself changing on the fly so no issue here. Enjoy!
My sentiments exactly! It’s probably the best bike I’ve ever owned. I can’t wait to get the 4.1 fmf as well that’s what I’ve been wanting. Overall very nice bikes for the price. Suspension, power, price, ergos… thanks for watching David!
@@DirtRoadLife1 You bet brotato! I have the opposite issues though being taller and heavier than ideal rider for the bike. Revalved suspension with Racetech gold valves and stiffer spring in the shock - worth every penny! Your weight may work better with the softer X fork springs in your bike. Post another vid!
Good video. Was thinking about one of these green bikes too. Would be really interesting to see what you think of the suspension when you get time to adjust and play with it more.
Suspension worked good today but after I softened everything up a few clicks. It was a muddy race with lots of rocks and tree roots but after that I felt good
Love the Kawi. I’ve owned a handful of Honda’s and Yamaha’s over my life but have always wanted a Kawi. I think the 2025 250x’s will have the app tuner and that’s probably when I will pull the trigger. Great track!
This thing would be a hard enduro weapon. Sweeeeet bike. Team Green all Day. I ride an enduro built KLX 140R F (full sized wheels). Hidden gem, lightest full sized 4 stroke on the market (218lbs).
@@DirtRoadLife1 fantastic. Outperforms my KLX 230 that I had previously. Power to weight is incredible. If they do go for it tell them to removed the baffle. Throttle input more responsive afterwards.
@@DirtRoadLife1 good deal. I have a 21 Honda CRF 250 F and it’s a great dependable bike but I’m either going to look for something with more power and better suspension or dump a little money into mine. Can’t really beat the price tag on the Honda plus the seat is lower which is nice for older fart.
It doesn’t seem to like to be lugged like a two stroke does I’ve stalled it more often than I feel like a two stroke normal would in the real tight stuff. That’s probably my biggest criticism of it so far. I think it’s probably a 4 stroke thing though rather than a Kawi KX thing
The extra low end power especially in the woods. I had the XCW 150 which is the wide ratio tranny and you could never find the right gear to be in to make it flow. I think the 150 XC would have been better
@@MountainMXOfficial we did some ice racing this winter and I swapped it out for the tamest smoothest map. I can’t recall what color it was but it worked good!
@@DirtRoadLife1 man I wanted the 23 kx 250x, but after waiting 5 months the bike shop got one in and it was tall af... so I bought a beta 200rr cause the seat hight is 36.4". I've been riding it for a year now and its a great bike, I was thinking at the time that I'd be picking the bike up more on the trails and that it was made for that kind of riding. Thought that the kx wasn't much of a trail bike, but riding this year at off road events I saw that alot of guys are riding 4 strokes. I still want one, I love the green! But is it really trail worthy?
@@freetaylor72 they’re absolutely trail worthy. There’s a guy that got a couple overall wins on the kx250x in our local hare scramble series NYOA. There’s also some top guys running them in GNCC
I love mine got a 22 x and am going be honest with you don’t need to tune it just leave the green coupler in and ride all that other stuff just sales gimmicks to be honest unless your a pro rider it’s pointless
Im gonna do that I agree I’ve never had the option before and always rode well and I feel like if you get used to it it’s only gonna hurt you to switch up the power delivery
Great vid and cool seeing what other people think about them. I bought a 22 and have close to 90 hours, 17 plus races on it and still love it.
Awesome to hear that Randy! Still loving mine hoping to have a new riding vid up soon
Very sweet. I can tell your into that new power 👍. Congrats on the Bike purchase brother,, you look real happy with it. Thanks for the cruise 😁🍺☑️

thank you for making a riding video where we are all looking at the green fender.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

I’ll know more tomorrow! Riding a local enduro race so we’ll see how I’ve got it working. Overall though very happy with the purchase still

You can definitely see the cost cutting, not sure if the suspension is too soft for motocross.
@@cw3728 it would probably depend on your MX skill level. But you’re right I’ve found quite a few things they defintely cheeped out on

@@ducatikawasaki1290 will do!! Thanks and happy riding!! Weathers getting nice here in the northeast. Can’t wait to put some hours on mime
Why would you shoot that tree?… did you play two more after you shot that tree?
I’m not sure what you mean two more?
How tall are you? I’m only 5’8” and just wondering if that seat is going to be a little high.
@@KevinSmith-tp8sq I’m only 5’7”. Inset the sag when I got it and it’s not bad at all I feel really comfortable on it

How do you find the bike in the tight gnarly single track?

Unico brasileiro assitindo teus vídeos, parabens pela conquista irmão 🎉🇧🇷
Thanks brother! 🍻 from the US!! Thanks for watching
What feels faster this or your 150sx?
@@yousif7160 I had a 150 xcw which has the wide ratio transmission and the KX definitely is faster. The 150 was more nimble though
Why did you decide to switch from the 150 to the 250?
The extra low end power especially in the woods. I had the XCW 150 which is the wide ratio tranny and you could never find the right gear to be in to make it flow. I think the 150 XC would have been better
@@DirtRoadLife1 I ended up getting a 2012 kx450f, it seems pretty similar to your 23' kx250x. I have yet to mess with the mapping.
@@MountainMXOfficial we did some ice racing this winter and I swapped it out for the tamest smoothest map. I can’t recall what color it was but it worked good!
@@MountainMXOfficial thanks for watching and gave you a sub
@@DirtRoadLife1 Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Hey would you choose the kx250x, or a 23 beta 200rr?
That’s a good question. What are you trying to do with it?
@@DirtRoadLife1 man I wanted the 23 kx 250x, but after waiting 5 months the bike shop got one in and it was tall af... so I bought a beta 200rr cause the seat hight is 36.4".

@@freetaylor72 they’re absolutely trail worthy. There’s a guy that got a couple overall wins on the kx250x in our local hare scramble series NYOA. There’s also some top guys running them in GNCC
These are the exact 2 bikes I’m contemplating over.
@@jonesy1780 let us know what you decide on, I don’t think you can go wrong either way
I love mine got a 22 x and am going be honest with you don’t need to tune it just leave the green coupler in and ride all that other stuff just sales gimmicks to be honest unless your a pro rider it’s pointless
Im gonna do that I agree I’ve never had the option before and always rode well and I feel like if you get used to it it’s only gonna hurt you to switch up the power delivery
4-strokes are just so uninspiring. I’d fall asleep riding that. 2-strokes just make you wanna go fast.
@@tg8150 lol that’s a bit dramatic but my next bike will be back to a two stroke
