Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems the jetting is a no brainer, but not sure what jetting to get, based on my altitude, nor what brand? I see Dyna Jet or FMF...? Need some help here...Also I see lots of talk about taking that CA smog junk off (do not need it where I live) I also read about guys getting some sort of Kawi snorkel...wouldn't it just be better to dump the stock one and leave it open to breathe?

Thanks for putting up with a newb.

Hey ringokelly, FMF jet kit is made by Dynojet. You'll be fine w/ no lid at all.

I haven't had the air box lid on for 10,000 miles.

Welcome to the best Kawasaki site in existence ( according to Mr.Deej)

Here is what I would do to your KLX.
Ditch the air box cover, and put on a good aftermarket filter.
Pull off the smog crap
Put on a 13 tooth sprocket.
At that point you might be into it for under $100.
It will not increase HP, but it will have better throttle response and feel better

Next I would re-jet it, get some fuel in there.
If you can find a KLX 300 exhaust system on Flea Bay, buy it
That will make a big difference.

Next I would get a good slip on Muff for it, or full system, 2 Bros, Muzzy, just look for the lowest Db readings.

Next you will be were the rest of us are at, should I buy the
Bill Blue Big Bore
300cc kit @ $453
331cc kit @ $ 486
340cc kit @ $ 502
351cc kit @ $527

Me thinks ole' Sandy Claws is gonna leave the 351 kit under my tree this year !!

Well if you want more power but want to keep it quiet...its seems like the best option is do get a klx300 muffler and header..as they flow much better....gear the sprocket 1 down in the front...rejet the bike...put a good airfilter on it...remove air box lid...
+1
I just did the 47T rear.. I like it, you need the 520 x 110 link chain.
if you just do the 13T front the stock chain is fine.
13T/47T my top speed is 69mph (indicated on speedo)

Works for me!!!!

The KLX300 is not exactly quiet... but it is not as freakin' loud as the Big Gun I had...
Have fun!
