Info Thread: KLX250S EFI with Big Bore (351, 330, 300, etc)
Hopefully this thread will help to make our knowledge of using BB kits on the newer EFI bikes readily available.
Firstly, here is a copy of Bill Blues' post on another thread on 11/15/2019:

It seems a "nobrainer" that a 351 EFI with the Barker system and a lidless airbox would make well over 30hp, once Bill's EJK is reprogrammed to fuel it ! Very exciting - but someone will need to do the Dyno leg work to create the new EJK fueling for such a bike..

Hello all, I just finished installing a 351 on a 2019 klx250 with an FMF slip on & air box lid on 26.53 HP 21.00 Torque with the EJK that I modified for the 351 kit. I also installed a Barker exhaust on this bike, didn't modify the tuning of the EJK; we got 29.0 HP 20.78 torque. Modified EJK for 351 kit now available, B&B Cycle Restoration.

I recently fitted Bill Blue's 351 kit to my KLX 250S EFI bike, with EJK controller provided with the Bill Blue kit, and for everyone's benefit I can share my sad experience with it: bike hesitates to startup which is one problem, but even bigger problem is that reving up to 6-8k rpms and releasing throttle it dies out. My mechanic and I spent 3 hours trying out all sorts of EJK settings, but no chances of resolving this problem. I contacted Bill, he was quick to pick up the phone, but couldn't help me on this, saying he's not a fan of EFI (what kind of answer is that for someone distributing EFI kits?). Contacted EJK asking for recommended settings on the controller - no response. I tried raising rpms, taking airbox lid out, unplugging stock exhaust to see if any of it helps to get rid of stalling issue - nothing helps. Having spent ~1000 eur on this upgrade (I'm in Europe, so customs taxes are applicable), and 300 more for mechanic work, I just wanna cry for being so naive! For those of you thinking of fitting 351 kit on KLX250 EFI, consider other options out there.. perhaps 292cc upgrade might work better, I hope.
