Just got home from picking up a new (09) KLX250sf. Had 1 mile on it, has 15 now. First time in a long time, I'm looking forward to the ride to work tomorrow.

I was a little concerned about the engine size and lack of power. After 14 miles without opening it up, I'm no longer concerned. It's going to be a fun bike

I got the bike for $3799, I think I got a good deal.

 

Change the oil and filter as soon as you can. I just changed mine after 60 miles and there was some glitter in the oil and pieces of sealant and other small debris in the filter. It's only a quart and a half of oil and a $4 filter.

Wait until you uncork it with a pipe, jet, and air cleaner. You're going to sprout wood.

 

Welcome to the site and congrats on the bike. You'll have alot of fun with the KLX. There are a bunch of different directions you can go with the bike depending on how you plan on using it. Enjoy

Mike

 

another motard! sweet! Welcome

 

Very cool! Congrats on the sf!

 

Thanks for the oil change tip. I was going to wait until the 400 mile mark, but I'll change it this weekend.

Rode it to work this morning 31 degrees when I left, fingers are still a bit numb :-)

What a blast to ride, scoots right along with traffic no problem.

 

And if that doesn't do it, then the HOTD thread will.


Welcome to the forums.

 

Post an intro in the new members area, so you don't get forgotten.

 

Welcome, you got a good deal. That's almost a grand less than I paid for mine...

 

I paid $5500 out the door....o well
