Default klx 100mph club!?

i finally hit 100mph on my 09 klx! it was fun and very stable, i was on flat ground on interstate 15 at the top of the cajon pass in southern california. it felt good except for the motor sounded like it was gonna explode lol not many mods except for two bros exhaust, uni filter and dj jet kit. i weigh 135 by the way.. i think that helped a bit to lol 15/43 gearing and kenda k270 tires

100 mph on speedo or GPS? If speedo: 100 = 90.

Interesting...gearingcommander.com now has the 2009 version of the KLX250S. With OP's 15/43 gears (and no adjustment for tires), 100 mph on a 2009 at 9450 rpm, and is at about 9000 rpm on the '06.

The 2009 final 6th gear ratio is 20 / 21
2006 is 19 / 21.

How steep was the downhill, and how fast was the tailwind?

I haven't had my 331 up faster than 80. Stock gearing. It had some left, but....I couldn't think of an excuse to see what it's top speed is.

I know my SF will never see 100. 85 indicated is all I can get topped out. Maybe 86 on a down hill. My speedo is 7% fast checked with a GPS.
