I have been wanting to ride a stock one for a while since I can't remember what that was like.. Yesterday swapped bikes with my buddy who has a stock 09.

HOLY CRAP. hahaa... Man, it felt real good to know that all the work I put in to it actually made a BIG difference.. The 09 felt like a moped. It was so silent it could be mistaken for electric. There was pretty much no torque.. Crazy how much of a difference the 351 and a few mods makes!! My buddy didn't want to give me my bike back.. hahaa

Anyone else ever rode a stock one after riding your modded one for a while? What did you think? Now I remember why I did the 351, hahaaa

 

Larry, you're not exaggerating one bit. I rode a new '06 KLX back in '06 at the shop I used to work at. What a dog...turned me right off from considering one. It wasn't until last year in '09 that I rode a friend's modded KLX with full Muzzy, airbox mods, jetting, etc. Whoa!...a different bike. I bought that bike. Now with a 300 jug and Race Tech suspension it's even better. It's hard to believe that the KLX250's potential is so big when you ride a bone stocker.

 

Try going from a BB jug to a bone stock KLX that needs a valve job. I rode my KLX yesterday after a valve job and it felt like I modded the bike One of these days I'm gonna go the Bill Blue way. Or the orange way...

Cool it sounds like you guys really like the upgrades, me if my motor ever goes, I'm gonna stuff a used KLX or KLR 650 in the small frame, then let the games begin.

 

Post pics of the torque twisted frame. Hopefully none of you in traction.

 

dude it can do that some times. lets you know you did it right.
