- Next remove the single phillips screw that holds the throttle cable bracket to the right side of the carburetor. This will allow both cables to disconnect from the carb without much hassle.
- Loosen the 3 hoseclamps that connect the carb AND airbox boot to the intake plenum and airbox respectively.
Remove phillips screw
loosen hose clamps
twist carb a little so that the cables disconnect with less hassle.

Based on the information I've found here and elsewhere I'm going to give a go myself. I'm pretty comfortable with doing the rejetting itself, my concern was really with the removal of the carb. But like System6 said, it's a good way to learn more about your bike in the confines of my garage then on the side of the road.
I'll have my laptop in the garage while I do it so I can pull up resources and pics if needed.

- Remove the seat (2ea. 8mm bolts)
- Remove the side cover/number plates (2 more 8mm bolts per side).
- Next is the radiator plastics (3ea. 8mm bolts) both sides.
- Remove the fuel tank along with the on/off/reserve fuel shutoff after disconnecting the proper fuel line clamps (5ea. 8mm bolts total).

No, They are the red plastics on each side of the tank. The ones that your knees touch when sitting. They have stickers that say Kawasaki on them.
@Ranger Ron: Of course they are 6mm bolts with 8mm heads. Most people feel that the wrench/socket size is more helpful when performing a disassembly than the actual diameter of the bolt. Diameters are helpful upon reassembly when specific torque values are unknown.
The actual diameter of the bolts in the procedure described is not material to the removal of the carb. Nor is the loosening of the hose clamps in order to tilt the carb for removal of the throttle cables.
Brien, If you remove the phillips head screw on the right side of the carb that retains the bracket anchoring the two throttle cables, tilting of the carb is a non issue.

Note: What looks like Philips screw heads on the KLX are in fact a JIS standard heads. Philips screwdrivers tend to strip JIS heads. A Philips screwdriver with the tip filed down will lessen the tendency to strip JIS heads.

You will get it. This was just a simple guide I wrote for you quickly to give you an idea that removing the carb for your first time on the klx250s is much easier than brain surgery on your first attempt
After you get your carburetor out you will have your own method and sequence order.
Just hoping what I have written helps you out
