Default 2009 -2012 KLX 250s Top Speeds after Re-Jetting?
Hey Guys, just wanted to see what your top speeds are after you re-jetted your carbs on your KLX 250s? Any increase in speed?

What is the deal with the speedos? Are they not calibrated to show actual speed?

Correct. Speedo is about 10% higher than actual. Lame as hell.

That is crazy that the speedo is not correct. Is this on all bikes and can it be corrected?
