We carry a folding hand saw to cut fallen tree branches out of the trail like you came across in this video.
It takes only a min and it helps maintain the trail system for other users.
Love hearing about the mods you have made to your KLX140RF that make it better for the trails and an adult rider…
We try and bring folding saws now!
Its a great bike for an adult to learn on with a couple mods!
You’re making an impact Aaron. Our family came home with two KLX 140Fs and a KLX 110RL for the little guy earlier today. I’d tell Kawasaki you helped our decision, but I don’t know how. Thx Buddy ❤
Insane to hear that! Only happy to help! Appreciate you watching!
Only bad thing I can see with the 140, is that there isn't much aftermarket support like the klx110, kx 85, etc. For example, the only plastics you can get for em are OEM but I'd like to do one with black and green plastics
Look at the 2009 monster edition. They sell all black oem plastics. You just need to get them from a dealer. Other then that theres a ton of aftermarket parts. The klx140/150 is huge overseas in the Philippines. Check my newer videos and youll see how much ive modded mine
Tons of aftermarket parts .

Seems like an unfair title. I got one of these. I've done the BB rear spring and I would say the bike is about perfect.
I mean stock it sucks 🤷♂️
I got bbr springs for front n rear waiting to be installed
Stock suspension sucks at high speed, hence the title reference to why does the klx suck. Its sucks because the stock suspension is way too soft for any sort of higher speeds.
Your bike is modified
@@AaronsEnduro You wont believe how good it makes the bike bro, mine is a different bike to ride.
Excited to do mine!!
Yeah this guy who made this video is a fucking troll. This bike doesn’t suck.
I’m considering the KLX140RF for my wife who is 5’7” and currently rides a 2022 CRF 125 big wheel but it seems too small for her after riding it for a few hours and my 250 is too big.
The 140RF will be the perfect “small” upgrade
If you’re looking for a “real” dirt bike bike with power and still a smaller size, check out the beta x trainer! That was what i upgraded to and its amazing
My Chinese 125cc pit bike w/ 17"/14" wheels is a blast to ride but it's a little cramped, a little under sprung, and little low on power. I don't want a giant, heavy, crazy fast dirt bike for scrambling around in steep woods. I might get a KLX140RF and upgrade suspension. Looks like a good sized bike that's still pretty lightweight, but not 9k$ which is what it would cost for a bigger bike that isn't 270 - 300 lbs wet like a KLX 300 R or even a KLX 230R which is heavier than I want in the woods. I'm about 5' 9" 160 lbs, getting old, with a bad back. But I'm gonna ride until it's absolutely impossible. I might have to pick one of these up. Looks plenty capable (edit- *capable for my use case, especially with better suspension). I'll have to check out your other vids on the upgrades!
This will be the perfect bike for ya!!!
This is the best light weight big yet smaller framed adventure bike!
You get the ride feel of a smaller bike (similar to your Chinese bike) but with a bigger “cockpit” to better suit the size of an adult!
@@AaronsEnduro Yeah I like my pit bike because it feels like a mountain bike with an engine on it! SUPER light and easy to ride. But the 140RF seems kind of like a giant pit bike with full sized wheels which seems like what I really want. My TW200 is great too but it's 286 lbs and you feel it off road, and it's not really a dirt bike although you can ride it anywhere. I'm not trying to race people, just riding for fun and exercise. ✌ Nice vids!
@@AaronsEnduro Thanks for the feedback!
The 140RF will be a perfect choice for you! Feels like a trail bike. Can really concur any trail I’ve thrown at it. And its super light , easy to manoeuvre and doesnt wanna take you down with it when you crash
I like your vlog stuff bro it’s definitely popular on yt rn too, if you wanted to just have spots in your vlogs where it’s just pure rippin enduro no talking
Thanks! I was thinking if starting up a separate channel for just raw Enduro trips, but they end up being massive files
@@AaronsEnduro could even make a playlist so you wouldn’t have to grow 2 separate channels. Just got this 140r f btw, loving it
Got my fourteen year old daughter a like new 2021 Klx 140G (now F) and it’s perfect for her.
It’s a great learners bike! Perfect for practicing skills!
I PUT THE KX100 FENDER UPGRADE ON MY KLX140 TOO, MAKES IT LOOK SO MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE. I ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE TUSK RACING (BLUE) OR MOOSE RACING (GREEN OR BLACK) SHIFT LEVERS! THE ADD A LITTLE FLAVOR TO THE BIKE.
You bet!
Hey dude I just found your channel and your videos are pretty sweet! How do you like the BBR shocks for your bike? I'm strongly considering installing them on my 140G. I'm 5'9 170lbs and I hate how easily my bike bottoms out on most of the trails I ride
I am actually just about to install them! My bike will be built over the next 3 weeks here! So you’ll definitely find out if you stick around!
Ive got a big bore kit, cam kit, 26mm carb, BBR springs front n rear, BBR rev box and some other goodies all going on!
@@AaronsEnduro I found one of these for 1500 is that a good deal they say it has no problems and it’s 2012
Which model klx140?
The “R” “L” “G” or “RF
1500$ sounds like a good price which ever one it is. The cheapest one i see on my local marketplace is 3000$ CAD no matter the year
which one is better wr250f or klx140rf? I'm considering the beginner bike and klx weight way less so going to be easier to handle . wr on the other hand is a more capable bike and I'd never grew it up I guess haha
not sure about reliability of klx but I bet it is as good as wr.
klx is going to be less maintenance bike I guess? bbbut I don't mind to flush a radiator sometimes hah
Wr will be more maintenance and a lot more bike to toss around. The wr will have better suspension and suit a big boy better.
The klx’s are bullet proof. Minimal maintenance, lighter to toss around, lower seat height. But significantly less power.
Its a give and take between the two
Great vids! My Son is 18 and about 6’ 145 lbs. Never rode a dirtbike but he's looking to get the 140. I used to ride back in the day. Would this bike be a good start for him? Thanks!
Get the G/RF model. Itll be the perfect starter bike
I guess I missed the part where you said why the bike sucks? From the riding, this seems like itd be a great starter bike for the wife! No issues with the carb? Thanks!
I talked about it near the end of the video that the suspension is lacking at higher speeds. This is a great starter bike for your wife
@@AaronsEnduro great, thanks!
Yo i was just watching your videos 😎😁👍
Ayy I appreciate it! Enjoy the new video!
Also you can have your preload adjusted all the way tight and set the dampening all the way to max. did you try that first Aaron?
i couldn't find a happy medium with the on board adjustment. I've since done BBR Suspension and its amazing
Too much swearing in your videos
Theyve been bleeped on my more recent videos
Why do you care?
I didn't think there was enough.
@@chrisescue6555 HaHa.. Bro honestly, I’m a construction worker… I hear a lot of foul language every day. But when I’m on a TH-cam channel in my home and my families around me, I don’t wanna hear explicits popping out of the phone. I’m a leader in my home. not using foul language does not make me soft. I’m definitely not woke. Definitely Conservative. i’m proud to have high testosterone… but foul language not gonna bring more subscribers with dirt bikes…
@justonpreble4083 thats okay! There’s plenty of channels for you then!
What size washer and spacer for the rear brake lever?
Generic/what ever fits over the bolt
I think buy the KlX140RF . I’m a new rider , 5.4 feet , 130lbs . Do you think it’s a good bike for new rider ? I drive motorcycle though. New too but i have my licences 😂
Its a great beginner bike for someone whos learning to ride offroad
Great size for you too
Thanks !
I've been talking to a sales rep this week about becoming an authorized parts dealer. Which company do you reckon would be the best to go with YCF or Apollo? Thanks.
YCF ALL DAY
@@AaronsEnduro Cheers man, im hoping they can keep growing here in Canada. Ill let you know once we get the website setup and hopefully we can do business at some point.
Absolutely! The YCF bikes are sick!
Would love to do a sweet pit bike setup!
@@AaronsEnduro I was originally speaking to the Piranha sales rep but since they work out of the States he suggested YCF. Who knows maybe we can secure an account with Piranha at some point.
for the carb upgrade I was thinking of getting a nibbi 26mm you think that will work?
I like to used was tested and been proven. I have yet to see anyone use a nibbi on these bikes
@@AaronsEnduro what was the kit you used?
Check out this video: links are in the description th-cam.com/video/L6E4w4qlR7Y/w-d-xo.html
Hey bro, like you I got tired of the apollo and have been waiting for 5 months for a 23 kawasaki kx250x. Well the bike shop has one so I went up there to look at it . Man I'm soo bummed out cause when I sat on it I couldn't touch the ground even my tippy toes couldn't touch. Wearing my riding boots.... no chance. What am I gonna do? If I set the sag on it will drop the rear end enough that I can at least hold the bike up? How can I lower the thing without messing up the performance? Man I'm heart broken over it cause how am I gonna ride this bike on trails etc and stalling out, seems like ill spend more time on my bum and picking the thing up more than enjoy riding it 🥺🥺
Yeah thats one of the issues when you go to a full size dirtbike. Even at 6’1 i can just barely reach and its not enjoyable crashing from tipping over. The best thing you can do is a lowering link which will drop the seat about 1-2”
Otherwise start comparing bikes and looking for one with a lower seat height
I'm like 5'7" and I'm only like 120 pounds I ride my 250 2 stroke better than my 6foot homie rides his 125. you don't gotta touch to ride. I always have a milk crate to kick start my bike when I ride 🤣. short man problems. I can touch tip to on one side but that's good enough who needs to touch to ride not me 😃🤙👍🥂 wait till I make my first videos I swear I'm going to make videos soon in just slacking 😂happy Sunday
Its different when you’re climbing a cliff face or ledged climb and not being able to save yourself from falling down 5-10ft+ when things go wrong
If you’re ridiing side trails n what ever, then sure not being able to touch isint a big deal, but when you’re riding moutain cliffsides and giant boulders being able to touch can be the difference from a broken bike/you, and saving yourself and continuing the ride
@@AaronsEnduro ya it's the difference between turning around and not riding that terrain orrrrrr just wheelie down the entire mountain or wheelie up it. I ride the easiest trails I barley ride any hard stuff tho. If it was a hard trail you gotta commit not hesitating or foot down just 250 2 stroke power. I don't put my foot down unless I'm drifting or coming to a super slow speed I didn't buy my 250 to ride slow speed I ride it as fun as possible. I do want to try some hard riding like your Enduro type. Your bike is set up perfect for what you do tho mine is set for what I do
Thinking about getting one of these should I get one used or new?
Used forsure. There seems to be a lot of them with 10-30hours someones kid rode a handful of times
Bike looks dope how does this suck?
Because it would bottom out the suspension
It is bushy..." that's what he said "
😂
Don't buy one. They are slow, and they overpriced. You will be upgrading in 6 months.
Majority of the people looking at getting one are beginners and this is the perfect bike for that
@@AaronsEnduro I will agree it's perfect for a beginner. However it's pretty expensive and beginner will outgrow it very fast. Better to buy a cheap Honda and save your money.
The cheap hondas dont have disc brakes or electric start
👎
