Here's a pretty typical, proven upgrade path..

1-Exhaust, jet kit, airbox mod.
2-Skidplate, barkbusters.
3-Suspension revalving.
4-Big bore kit, carb.
5-High capacity Acerbis / IMS gastank.

I'd change all the fluids when you get it, the bike has been sitting for the past 5 years hardly ridden.

get the kawi manuals if you plan on doing work on it..

You got a gem -enjoy it, its a great machine!

You may also need a Krieger manual cam chain adjuster as at about 2K miles most of these engines start to clatter at about 5000 rpm's and this is the fix.

 

Thats a real nice one you have there...have fun on it

Service manual for 2006 KLX250?
Cant seem to find one "manual" online---anybody know ?
or best place to get one?

Thanks to all for your Help!!


Question: Being a little older BUT with many years experience with Bikes, I am at a point of QUIET!. Meaning gone is the days of Xcross louds pipes, etc. [I] just like to ride in peace.
Many say do a jet and pipe job---That's OK BUT is it somewhat quiet or ??????????

Thanks!!

 

any aftermarket pipe is going to be loud.

 

compared to stock any pipe will be louder. not much you can do about it if you want more power.. I guess you could do a big bore and keep the pipe stock. it will be more powerful and not as loud as with an aftermarket pipe. but you'r erobbing yourself of a few HP.

keep it simple, have fun - what the KLX is good at.

You may find one of DavidR's threads where he modified the stock muffler to open up flow, but apparently still keeping a lot of Quiet.

 

Had to dig it up. My stock bike:


Stock didn't last very long.
Now modified, next to a pretty stock 2007:
