Hi fella's, I started out with a '04 XT 225 loved it on the trail, but it was heavy and underpowered. I then bought a '07 DRZ400S of a friend, I did some mods and the bike ripped! But was a tank in the bush. So here I am..Just bought a '07 KLX250S

Suspension feels soft for my 170lb self? Are the fork adjustable for Comp? Looks like rubber plugs in bottom of the forks,do they pry out toallow access to a adjustment screw??

So far I put on some Tusk big bar adapters and Renthal Fatbars, Pro taper Pillow top grips and a Fold down Husky Mirror.

I'm looking at going to a 13/47 gear combo but I'm not sure what chain length to get.??

It still has factory tires on it so my favorite combo of a Pirelli Scorpion Pro front and Kenda Trackmaster rear is on order.

I ordered a Richochet skidplate, but am gonna wait on exhaust till I do some more research on Jetting and slip-ons.. So any info on Free mods and chain Length would be great.

 

Congrats on the new bike!
Those rubber plugs do pop out and give access to the clickers in the forks. You can play with them, but you probably need stiffer springs. Stock springs are .37kg, I'm about the same weight as you, and I have the Moto-pro .44kg springs. The Moto-pro calculator suggested .42kg for me but I got a deal on some .44's and they are great, not too stiff at all.

Have fun with the new bike.

Greetings JB
Welcome! You can find lot of good stuff here.
I'm running a 49 rear sprocket and can run 13 through 15 on the front with a 110 link chain. I'm guessing with a 47 you may need to go with a 108...but that's guessing

Mine is re-sprung front and rear and I'm 205 w/o gear. Some around hear say to re-valve, especially on the front if you ride it harder. Fork gold valves, 351 kit, and maybe a pumper carb may be in my future.

 

Welcome tot he forums! Nice to see another KLX owner. MOLES RULE! It seems like the majority of new members are KLX owners.

 

Well just Ordered Skidplate,13/47 Gears/X-ring Chain. Got tires sitting at local Cycle shop waiting for me. Been reading lots of posts!! looks like a great bike so far,Think I am gonna have to change front fork springs for sure.

Anyone on this forum go to the Smokin' Hole Ralley in Jim Thorpe P.a. ?

 

I have a set of Renthal Fat Bars, Tusk 7/8 to 1-1/8 Adapters and Tusk Big Bar adapters for the D-Flex handguards is there a place to sell them here?

 

Yes. In the classified section:

Just post it up in here (on the 250 board) I don't think anybody looks in the classified section.

Looks like you already ordered this stuff, but I run 13/47 and can confirm that the correct chain length is 108 links.
