Anyone out there know where to find some performance parts for an 05 KLR 250, i know this bike isn't meant for alot of speed but i'd like to tweak it as much as i can to see what i can do. any help will be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks!!

 

Here is a site full of information for your bike:

KLR250 Information

 

thanks marty that page was incredible!!!!!!! now i'm just looking for the best exhaust and air filter, i'm looking at an FMF or a BIG GUN and possibly a K&N filter, anyone have any advice???????

 

This is a personal thing. Avoid the K&N filter if you're going to be riding off-road. The K&N filter gets it's high flow numbers by allowing up to small animals to pass it's filtration element. Not a good thing for a dirtty, dusty environment.

My KLR250 has a Cobra (read that LOUD) exhaust on it. It sounds good, but I sometimes look for something to plug it with, as it does get obnoxious after a short time.

Getting the "Mohave Kit" for your bike will wake it up. Also going to a 14 tooth countershaft sprocket will help immensely.

Also, you might try coming over to klr650.net and joining us on the KLR250 forum. There is a lot more traffic over there.

 

Marty, i appreciate the advice more than you know, but could you tell me where to find these parts online? i live in alaska and parts at the dealerships up here are rediculously priced, also could you be a little more specific about the parts and their installation or give me some websites on installing them. i'm just a beginner, and learning, but i work on f-16 fighters for a living so i think i can figure it out with a little guidance. THANKYOU very much

 

Okay, here's some places to check . . .

http://www.dynojet.com/jetkits/atv/kawasaki.php - this is the dynojet site and the Mojave 250 is list here - same carb as the KLR250.

http://www.ronayers.com is a great site for all replacement parts

http://bikebandit.com is another site for lots of parts

http://cyclepages.com is another parts site

H'mmm, F-16 wrench. Sounds simple. The F-4 Phantoms had two engines. So yours is simpler!

 

Uh thanks for the web sights but i beg to differ about the aircraft comments. the F-4 is proof that if you put enough thrust on something, it will fly. The F-16 is much faster and more maneuverable, and the engine is alot more advanced, to bad it is being replaced by the F-35 ( the f22 raptors little brother) which is even more advanced. thanks again for the advice marty and for the site's!!!

 

There are other forums where you can find good information--I search all the forums I can find to get info and still need more since I'm a noob at tuning carbs and stuff like that.

There's a KLR250 Yahoo Goup:

..and Thumpertalk has a KLR250 forum:

(should be able to find those with a web search if the URLs don't post here)

Going to a 14 tooth front sprocket is a good cheap mod for making the bike a little quicker on the low end (sacrifice some at top end). Opening up the airbox and re-jetting also helps for very little $. I don't have an aftermarket exhaust but wish I did.

Thanks guys, i appreciate all the advice and the websites!!!!! Hopefully i can get a little more growel out of my klr, i was gonna go to the 650 but i like the weight of the 250 so i'm just trying to get a little more power out of her.
