Hmmmmmmmmmm

 

Thanks for the info I appreciate it. I will order a pipe, jet kit , and a K& N air filer soon. Of to Revelstoke B.C to do some Huckleberry picking on my new ride next week; talk to you soon!!

 

Ya, but does any of this stuff void the warranty??

I have a "new" 07 KLX 250 with 1200 kms. on it. Would love to do some of this but concerned about voiding the warranty 'should' anything happen. I don't need them saying the bikes no longer stock, and the mods I did voided everything. (I will probably do some of this after the initial 12 month expires. I didn't take the extended warranty ......... should I ???)

 

The biggest upgrade Im working on is a diet! I've porked out to 260#, hell I weigh as much as the bike. If I can get myseld down to 200# I may be able to lift the front!

 

Welcome to KF!!!

 

Hey guys I just got my bike back today. Installed a pro circuit type 496 pipe $529 jet kit air filter 13t front sproket, bar risers and UFO hand guards. What a totally different bike. It rides like my old xr 400 just better. wheelies in the first 3 gears are really easy. I love this bike. I am thinking about a aftermarket gas tank. 138km the hit reserve? not good. I guess it has something to do with the ride it like I stole it attitude. Anyways thanks for all your help.
PS. The guys at my local shop had to build a special sleeve at the muffler shop in order to make the pipe fit.

 

hey where do you all learn bout this.. about sprocket, carb something, etc.. this noob wants to learn it all

 

search feature and just asking around lol well help you alot

 

Is it worth getting new exhaust without a new jet kit? I really want a bit more lower end power (hill climbs and wheelies over stuff) but dont want to mess around with reliability and mileage too much. Ive done a lot of mods on my old KLR, but stayed away from tinkering with the carb, anyone replaced the jet and needle without drilling out?

btw: Ive had my 09 klx250s all summer, completely hammered it through the trails and covered it in mud and just love it - take the highway out to the trails no problem and takes a pounding in the rough.

Thanks,

 

I'm looking for the opposite. Here's a cut and paste from a post I did on Thumpertalk.

I keep hearing people going to a 13T sprocket (or is it 14?) in the front for more low end power in the dirt. I don't really hear too much about the rear sprocket.

I'd like to get highway cruising on this a little more comfortable when I'm doing 65-70mph. Instead of 7-9k rpm constant, would it be possible to get it down some without sacrificing a lot of low end torque? I understand going to a 15T or 16T front sprocket will do this, but what about the rear sprocket. I do mostly road riding with some mixed trails/dirt roads. Nothing too gnarly, but you never know!

I guess I'm just looking to make things a little more comfortable at highway speeds without sacrificing the great fun I'm having from 0-50 mph!
