Howdy all,

just came home with a new 2009 Kawasaki KLX 250SF Black, not new to riding just new to the forum, live in Baltimore Maryland, will be using it for commuting about 4.2 miles one way, can't wait to ride it, very COLD here today 34 degrees, tomorrow should be better 48, will see, thanks for letting me join.

welcome to KF

 

Welcome to KF and congrats on your new ride.

 

Welcome aboard! Glad to hear about the ride, too! Get out there and do it, man. As long as the roads are not icy, (been out at 18 degrees before) bundle up and go!
Post up a bike pic!
Welcome, again. Gear up; stay safe.

 

here she is, looking to upgrade the tires, any remcommendations??

Looks great! If you're using it primarily for commuting, I'd stay with a street-oriented tire. (Duh.) But, if you venture off-road on the weekends, go with a dual-sport tread/compound. (Just don't expect to corner like Kevin Schwantz.) With the price of tires, I'd get the good out what you have now.
Thanks for the pic!

 

yes for work, live 4 mile from work, one way, but I do have an few trails near by too, I haven't had a trail bike in a very long time.

 

I would never run street only tires. Even if getting to ride off road was a remote possibility. I don't ever want a tire to decide where I ride. Oh and welcome to the forums.

 

P.S. I got you beat, my commute is less than 2 miles. LOL and sometimes I actually see another car on the road.

 

Awesome, yes you do, so what would be a good tire?? thanks

James
