Hey guys i have been looking around at buying a enduro bike so i can ride around with my mates coz i have been stuck just riding with them when they go out on the track coz i have a racing bike. i have been looking at the klx250 i want to know if it has any power and can u go wheelies on it so i can keep up with my mates. my mates have honda and yamaha bikes and they all say the klx250 is **** and has no power and u cant wheelie with them can u guys help me out thanks

 

Out of the box it's underpowered - once you do some mods like jetting, adding a performance muffler or going with a big bore kit you'll be doing wheelies and impressing your mates.

 

it'll never be a CRFX or WRF. well, with around $2000 it could be but then there's the suspension. but hey, it's not a racebike, it's a DUAL-PURPOSE and thus meant to do everything pretty good.
I wheelied thru 3rd with my '06 which had a BigGun full-system, jetting and airbox mods, and gearing it down.

 

No wheelies in stock form without the clutch. Like the guys say, the bike when modified will surprise some folks.

After the mods I wouldn't trade my KLX for any other bike...........I guess not even the DRZ[8D] Hey Travis what up man? When are we going to get a ride report from you. No more excuses, Git-R-Done

 

well, I put one over on TT around 6 weeks ago. If you're talking about something like you post with pics and stuff, you won't get it. When I ride, I just go and ride. I don't take my camera. I don't have the time to stop and snap pics. I'm lucky just to get out and ride so that's what I do. Right now, my bike isn't running properly so I can't ride it.

 

I like the look of yourhand/brush guards. Could you please provide more info?
Thanks!

 

The KLX 250 is what it is...........reliable, durable, economical, nimble and fun to ride.
Cheers!

 

Hey Travis you don't have time to stop and take pictures? What's your hurry man? Half the experience of the ride is stopping and enjoying what is out there, and then sharing it with the people you care about.......you do care about us right? [8D] Plus I'm sure your family would like to see what you are up to.
