Hello 1600 km trip on a klx 250sf
I've been lurking for a while now and figured since I was on a long ride i would make some posts
riding from saint Walburg SK to Fernie, BC via Icefields parkway. I'm riding.. get this> a klx250sf I'm 270lbs haha I'm here to put the "Can I take a KLX250 on the highway 10 miles to work" issue to bed once and for all! Sincerely. JonSask |
Hey Jon, welcome to the forums! I took mine on a 700 mile 4 day trip a few years ago, it performed flawlessly. ;)

Welcome to KF and enjoy the ride. Congrats

The seat leaves much to be desired, 2300km's so far on this trip. The bike actually pulls harder than when i left
I'm going to try to ride the last 700kms or so tomorrow to get home, my tailbone is realllly not liking my decision to ride a klx250 this far |
Welcome Jon. Consider a "sore tailbone" the supreme compliment for your ride. Whenever you come away with aches, it means your bike is tougher than you are. That's a VERY good thing on an extended haul. ;)
You go, man! Welcome again. Post up some pics of the trek; beautiful country up there. |

haha yeah standing up was done today, as well as pretty much riding side saddle, a storm was chasing us all the way through alberta on the way to saskatchewan.
It was awesome when I got around 150km from home I pulled in to top up with gas, pulled out onto the highway and poof no power just misfiring and crap.. max speed was 92km/h with the storm right on our heels I pulled the choke and AHA! i could go 105 So, I make it 50km to the bike dealer where I bought it, they were closed of course. So i pull the seat and tank, then the carb and take the bowl off with the ominous weather just blowing in a portable street sign flipped over just as I got the carb back in and the seat mounted flew the rest of the way home but had to punch through about 5 mins of torrential downpour oops... ps the main jet was mostly plugged dont know how anything got in there through the screen |
