Hello Everyone,

Just joined today...I have a 2012 KLX250S (purchased new in 2014) and (hope I don't get in trouble for saying this) a 1980 Suzuki TS250 that I have owned for 26 years. I bought the KLX because there seems to many performance mods available and also because of it's legendary reliability. I hope to use this forum to see what other owners have found to be the most essential performance mods to do. Looking forward to a lot of great information!

I think I'd like that TS engine in the KLX frame, but with a TM cylinder/pipe/carb.

TS250



TS250X



I'm guessing KLX678 would like to see a TS250X motor in the KLX frame with a TM250



cylinder/pipe/carb. Google is your friend

Fortunately the TS and TSX were quite mild and did not need to "on the pipe" in fact the TS had quite a bit of torque and did not need to be revved hard at all.
