Hello fellow KLX 250 owners,
Has anyone noticed how close the oil supply tube is to the header pipe? This tube apparently supplies oil to the camshafts and trans via a little steel tube that is about a quarter inch away from the header pipe. I will try to move the header pipe up a bit, but I'm not holding great hopes for this. I also noticed that the front brake hose was banging/rubbing against the crash-guards on the left side, maybe a braided line and a different brake hose guide is in order here.

I noticed the proximity of the oil feed when I put an aftermarket head pipe on my bike. I flexed it just a bit and, in spite of not liking it, I will probably wrap the pipe for a bit of insulation.

 

Thanks KLX678, I was thinking the same thing, maybe tweek the oil line slightly, possibly some heat-wrap. I loosened the headpipe clamp at the cylinder head, hoping to be able to get another quarter inch clearance, no luck with that,.

That's a good idea. I run an aftermarket header, so I'll just jam a bit of fiberglass wrap between the oil line.
