hi all
 

hi all, my name is scott and I live in north central massachusetts. I found this forum last week, but somehow I missed this section, so just trying to do the polite thing and say hello. I just bought a new 09 klx 250s. my first dirt bike...ok, dual sport in about 20 years. I have never been without a street bike since I was 16 and I am now 42 so you do the math! I am however very anxious to get some trail riding in. Now if I can only get this thing to make some power...lol I guess I went a little small, but I was too damn short on any of the 400 class bikes I sat on. I put ten miles on the bike riding it home from the dealer and decided to park it till I get it jetted and breathing right....new system and jet kit should be here tomorrow or friday. with a little luck, that will do for now, but I have a feeling I will be ordering a 351cc kit for it next week..oh well, ya can't take it with ya right?.. have fun and maybe we will catch ya on the trails.:)

Welcome to the forums Scott, you sound just like me, it was 20 years since a bike like this, and I was 42 when I bought mine. Glad to have another old dude that loves his KLX. We are a rare breed. Have fun and remember if you break something after 40, it just stays broke. :):):) Oh and don't be too disappointed with the power. A few mods will wake up the beast. Jetting, pipe, and some well chosen sprockets (13-45 is the best in my opinion) will make a huge difference. Have fun. ;)
