i am receintly a new owner of a 2009 klx250s i just hit 1000 miles yesterday and the battery was dead for the 4th time. i bought this bike 4 months ago , is this normal for a kawasaki? it just doesn't make since that it has done that to me.And also if i could get some opinion on gearing that would help me out to.

 

Nope not normal.
I'm still on my original battery and mines an 06.

Sounds like something is wrong with the charging circuit and that sounds like a warranty thing.

Good luck with it and welcome to KF.

 

Not normal unless your accidentally leaving the key on when you park it.
Dealer should cover that under warranty .

 

As for gearing.
Drop 1 tooth from the front sprocket is a good start. 14 - 13.
And its cheap.

Do some searches.
There is a mountain of info to be found.

 

I think he meant gear as in what to wear. LOL Welcome to the forums man, the battery should never go dead unless you leave the key on. Do you have a battery maintainer? Also check the battery connections, if they are lose, it will cause major problems.

 

he said gearing deej old boy, as Neil said 13 tooth is a good place to start. Mine is an 06 as well still on the OEM battery, so there is a problem with yours that needs fixing.

 

mines at the dealer for battery issues. it was charging at 14v, but in the morning i would go to start it and it would turn over good for about the first two revolutions, then it would crank real slow. they told me that they had a special charger that is supposed to bring them back to life but i think its BS. i should hear from them today.

 

Yeah definitely something wrong there. Warranty should cover the issue. At least it better!
