Howdy, I was in the same situation as you. I'm a relative newb to the klx 250's and motorcycling, I ride a couple times a month. About a year ago bought an 09, great bike, great price, was a bit of a pain to start and required solid warm up. A few months ago I found a used 2018 with 0 miles, I mean the guy bought it, had it delivered, never even test rode it...lol. Anyhow, I wanted the FI and liked the Camo, it ended up being $1000 upgrade, well worth it to me. New bike starts immediately, hit the button an go. I don't think I'd do it if it was going to cost $2K...

You should rarely have to clean your carb. Once a year,crazy. I only have 8500 miles on my 2007. Never cleaned carb. Ridden regular except winter, but does sit weeks without riding and months in winter. Always use ethanol free gas with stabil. Always turn off fuel between rides.
Bike runs great. rejetting gave it as much power as a efi, and it starts much easier now.
