I have a '12 KLX250s (Purchased used, 100% stock w/1,200 miles on the odo). Following very helpful threads here I added the Dyno Jet jet kit (#128, needle and spring), FMF Q4 slip on muffler, and the larger Snorkel (KDX200 I believe). These mods really perked up the bikes power, not huge but opened it up with much crisper throttle response. Still needed and wanted more - chasing my young son around in the woods/hills and fields... so "geared down", stock chain sprockets are 14 front, 42 rear - went to 13 front and 45 rear and new 108 link chain (more good info gleamed from this site). WOW!! Different motorcycle! Much more fun off road, picking through woods and gullies, hole shots and out of deep turns, yet still fine scooting around town or between trails on the two-lane black top. Can still pull to 80mph,(and get there quicker) turning about 8,000 rpm instead of 6,200 rpm with stock gearing. If I were going on a longer road/dual sport ride I can drop back/up to the 14 tooth front easy enough, but will stay with the 45 rear. With all the other simple/bolt on mods (which I would have done anyway) the gearing made the biggest difference in the "fun" factor, particularity off-road.

Welcome to KF!

I agree, probably the two best mods are jet kit and a 13T sprocket change. With that being said your MPH seems a bit high for the RPMs. Have you checked your actual speed via gps or phone app? I think you might want to consider getting a plug n play speedo calibrator from 12 O'clock Labs or similar. I know my bike was waaaaaay off on the speedo and I know others can confirm the same issue. Anyway, from what I've read and experienced on my own bike (bought a new 12' and racked up 10k miles thus far), is they are pretty bullet proof. I'm pretty sure the bike will outlast your will/comfort to ride on the freeway any day. I've done 300 miles in a day on my bike and it beats you up if a lot of it is 65+ MPH, but I'll still do it! Personally I don't like cruising the 13/42 above 65-70 more than I have to but I know the bike is plenty capable. On a side note, these bikes don't seem to use much oil at all but I do notice when I do long freeway excursions my bike does consume a pinch more oil. Just be sure to get to know your bike and check the oil regularly. I honestly don't top off much at all but its worth keeping an eye on, just my two cents.

If you don't mind me asking, about how much did you score the bike for? I'm always curious what deals are out there.
