In regard to post 14 of this thread, the embedded pictures do not show up. Does anyone know where I can see these photos of the air valve port locations?
thanks - Donnie

I've got "how to" articles all over cyberspace doing the same thing now [:@] due to this outage. I've got the originals somewhere and I'm working on fixing my old posts as time allows.

RE: Opening up the KLX250S
Hey all, you can add another noob to the KLX mix, as I just stole an '07 with only 255 miles on it for a too good to pass up price. It's been roughly 17 years since I have done any off -road riding(AMA Dist 14 enduros) and since a bunch of my HSTA riding pals (ridehsta.com) are now getting heavily into DS riding I decided to join 'em.
I love the KLX handling and suspension, but as this thread shows, the motor runs more like an XR100. The original owner put on a FMF slip-on muffler. Should I ditch it for a full pipe? Over the next few weeks I hope to incorporate the changes discussed in this thread in an attempt to get the "little engine that can't" so it "can".
BMWHD: we have more in common than just the KLX...

RE: Opening up the KLX250S
I just wanted to add a few things because i am going to do this mod and wanna make it a one whole process with the carburetor. The slide vent hole, where is that at, i probally will be able to find it when i open it up but just want to be sure with this type of carburetor. Also i hear people with #35 or #40 pilot jet, and i hear 122,125,128,130 main jet and the needle position is diffrent with all the mods to the air box and aftermaket exhaust it should be pretty standard for the jetting shouldnt it?

DynoJet Kit
Slipped the new 2152 Dynojet kit in last night. What makes us take brand new kit and monkey with it? It worked great!
Here is where I am at:
'09 KLX250s
Snorkel Removed
1/2" hole in last muffler baffle
DynoJet Kit- Needle, Spring, Jet, Air Screw out 3 turns. Clip is the 3rd groove down with 2 spacers.
Running the DJ124 JET at sealevel.
Everything ran perfect right from the get-go.
The dynojet kit is good- you get all of the goodies and directions in one box. And you get the decals.......
Probably does the same as going to the OEM stuff- its just packaged for you.
