Does this sound normal?

I'm new to 4strokes/klx250s.

This bike is an 06' KLX250S with 130 miles.. Completely stock, aside from front fender.

~Thanks!

To me it sounds normal, but I'm no expert.

You found a 2006 with only 130 miles?
Way to go! Sounds normal to me. I hope you've changed the oil. Even though it has low miles, I'd replace old oil with new.

Sounds like you're shifting Waaaaaaaaaay to early. Let 'er sing a bit. The 250 doesn't really make power until 4000+ rpm.

Good find!
