Great video quality and commentary keep it up!
I have the KLX-250S. I never had one that was stock. The previous owner did the Bill Blue overbore kit to 351cc. He also added the pumper carb, and good aftermarket exhaust. I added the adjustable CDI for computer controlled advance curve - along with adjustments for both soft and hard redline cut-out. At almost 60% more throttle response and horsepower it does just fine. I also have the larger fuel tank and soft bags.
I much prefer it over my BMW R1100RT street/touring bike for around town, and it is fun on the light trails that I ride. It is due for some suspension upgrades - especially the front fork which has some serious dive with my 200 lbs on the original springs.
With the upgrades - it is great for around the state with state park or national forest fire road off road camping destinations. I can always pack a couple of extra (soft) tanks of gas (2+ gallons each) into the soft saddle bags for 500 miles of total range before I need to find a gas station... That's if I pack it light and I don't hot rod it. :) Putt putt and it gets decent mileage... hit the pumper carb and hot rod it the mileage does down hill fast.

If I go on long trips out of state, or with a passenger strictly on paved roads then the Beemer is king.
I've been eyeing different bikes recently for potential replacements. The crf 450L looks great although price is a little much for what I'd like to pay. I've thought about going with a big bore kit it sounds like it really take the bike from a great commuter to an awesome little dual sport. I'm just getting ready for spring riding as we speak ordering a new front and front fork guards that I broke last season. I think I may keep it for a little longer this summer and just see how things go. Sounds like you have quite the bike, Cheers !
I have the new ine and i like the ild style head light alot better. Less jananeesie haha
How cut lights off
Every KLX comes geared WAY too high, at 14/43 OEM usually and thats why they seem so under powered. Thats 3-7teeth too high depending on if u ride street or offroad. U want these geared so you use all the rpm and gears up to 80mph, cuz thats all the motor will pull u to anyway. OEM gearing mine couldnt accelerate much in 6th gear. 13/45 and it was quick and powerful enough to wheelie and have fun. Aluminum sprocket, MX chain, and keep the rear tire 100-100-18 or lighter and it really revved out quicker. Slip on exhaust, snorkel off jetted/tune and the low end power bumped up a lot
What's the top speed with the 13/45 setup
How long does a better last
Hey, the boosters last quite awhile. I still use the same one and it's a great thing to have in your car, truck or bike!
Is that saddle bag cadpat
It's a cadpat bag off a rucksack I had!
