KLX250 purchase vindicated!!
I recently bought my KLX250S as an alternate commuting machine and also a backup if my (very high mileage) Jeep Cherokee ever went 'hard down' for maintenance. This in addition to the fun of riding over about a gazillion miles of Kansas dirt roads.
Well, just Friday evening on the way home from work, ol' reliable Cherokee blew a rear brake wheel cylinder. I milked the beast home without further incident and Saturday I used the new KLX250 for the parts run into Wichita for a new wheel cylinder. Although I had to contend with 25+ mph North wind and low-40's temps, the ride into town was decent enough. It was even more bearable due the windshield that arrived on Friday (TCI Products). I installed it even before starting work on the brake problem. Huge difference in wind!
I'm liking this bike more every day. I can only imagine what's it going to be like once I start the modifications and onset of springtime?

Yup,,,, been there done that. The KLX is the third car in our family. Actually since I got the KLX, my truck is the third car in the family.
Many parts runs on the KLX too.
I ♥ my KLX

I second Dan. My KLX is getting more use than the truck these days also. Just wish I could get all the ducks in a row to ride it on miltary base. As a contractor its hard to get scheduled for the MSF class and its not taught outside the gate.
