May 24, 2016 · the motors for the klx 250's are known for being reliable, but low on power (i geared mine down for a stronger 2nd gear and a usable 3rd), while good trailbikes they are not good for long road trips, but it's fine for city driving and short commutes, the bike does have a (iirc 6th) overdrive gear, and my highest registered speed was 130kph ...

Dec 22, 2023 · The Bill Blue components boosted the little 249 cc engine to 351 cc. This was supposed to result in a gain of almost 10 hp, taking it to the mid-30s, depending what other modifications you made (cam, carb, etc.).

May 11, 2022 · If it's the offroad version you're talking about, the suspension is better than the 250, which was lowered for the 09 year. The CRF is typical Honda, as mediocre as it gets, and the KLX is a better bike in every way Edited May 12, 2022 by shrubitdown

Dec 3, 2009 · I actually consider the KLR250 to be superior to the KLX in most regards. The KLX is a better dirt bike, but the KLR is a better all around dual sport, I'd probably buy one if they still made them. I am not familiar with the KLX except what I have read.

Some folks report minor fitment problems, but seems like minor issues; nothing that can't be sorted. Bottom line, I'd like to get the one that's toughest. I understand these plastic tanks age and eventually have to be replaced.

Jul 10, 2006 · I have the KLX 250 S Dual Sport, and I just got the Muzzy and the jetting and man that thing is loud, and that's with the quiet tip, but I have heard that it will settle down after a few hours. For my bike it's actually a pipe for the KLX 300 (1997-2006) The bike really is fast and loud now. But there is an issue with the foot peg, I had to ...

Mar 30, 2006 · I just got my KLX about 3 weeks ago. I have put about 120 easy back road miles on it. I have had it in the woods 1 time. One item Kawasaki left off that I didn't notice was RIM LOCKS. I flatted the rear tire about 20 miles from the truck. I have made only minor changes so far. I want to ride it a few more miles before I make any engine mods.
