Didn't ride the 250 much this weekend, scouted for some trail accesses in sooke but it was pretty much a bust. All the land out that way is leased by logging companies and they button up all the access points. I found some detour trails but the legality is sketchy.
I'm gonna start street legalizing the kxl400, but first the carb needed a DIY uncorking. I shimmed the needle with a 1mm spacer, drilled out the a/f screw and I'm at 3 turns out, I also replaced the diaphragm spring with the stock klx250 spring and removed the snorkel...no 3x3 mod until I get bigger jets. I took the 400 for a quick test ride and it runs much better, throttle response is crisp, no lean out pop wihen I spike the throttle, top end seemed to pull harder....stay tuned

The DJ needle works very well in my DRZ as does the 25PJ, full pipe and 3x3. I use the stock 142.5MJ at 1,100' to over 7,000'
Bike is VERY responsive off idle right through the range to screaming

I need to order sprockets and chain as they are original on my 400, Im currently running the 15/44 combo which sucks!!! I'm thinking 14/47 or 14/50, I only need to do 80kph...

Got the KLX400 all sorted out. New 14/47 gearing, rk gold chain, atv mid bars, plated and insured. I haven't changed up the jetting yet, but it feels a bit slow in the bottem end, maybe the 25# pilot will fix that, but once into the mid it hits like a 2stroke, ok not that dramatic. Lol
I've been daily riding the 250s through rain, cold, wind and sleet. Good times!!

There is also a route from Shawnigan lake to renfrew via dirt roads. I have a couple trips planned next summer that will follow some of your tracks...I'll report in this thread.
