Help with jetting and tires?
#11
Awesome thanks for all the help guys it looks like I'll go ahead and order the dynojet 2152 and I'll open the airbox and run a 120 or 124 main with the distanzia's. I'll let you know what settings I end up with as a reference for other klx noobs

Hmm interesting point I had no idea I def want the extra sound but I'm pretty sure more vibration would get annoying. What speeds are you referring to when you say high speed?

I forgot to mention tyres. As I ride mainly on black stuff for commuting I have -
Front - Michelin Sirac
Rear - Heidenau K60
Both okay on gravel although I have to let out some air from both.

I know the DynoJet costs more than buying parts from Kaw, but there is a lot of engineering that goes into the kit. They have done all the trial and error for you, so that you have a *very* good chance at getting your jetting "right" the very first time. That's worth the extra $ to me. The fewer times I have to pull the carb, the better. ;-)

75-85?!?!?!
I have a bored out 351, airbox lid off, 132 dynojet, 38 pilot, etc. HMF exhaust, baffle removed.
I don't feel comfortable going that fast at all. I have more of a dirt tire though. Does it feel better and more in control going this fast on the road with a more road oriented tire? I believe I have the Pirelli Scorpions right now.

stock klx250sf dunlop road winner tires...even cruising 95 mph ~ 100 mph (top speed), it's stable...have custom bent bars with scotts stablizer and my suspension was adjusted professionally cold and hot...rear lifted little over an inch and front fork dropped to the lowest...goes through cracks and poor roads like butter...smooth and straight....
My suspension actually needs a lot of work. The middle spring under the seat is out to the last click and when I sit on the bike, it still sags down way too far ( in my opinion). I only weigh 180 lbs. Same with the front shocks. They have way too much play - and the seals need to be replaced.
