Default Noob checkin' in...

I am the proud new owner of a 2007 KLX250H! It is a blast to drive, I've got about 150 miles on it now. Just bought it 7/7/7. I had a KDX80 when I was 14/15 years old (39 now) and had a blast on that thing on Our farm in Western PA. So, choosing the KLX250 wasn't a hard choice.

I now live in Eastern, PA (Quakertown) and am looking for cool places to ride. So far I have found: Lost trails ATV Park,Tower City Trail Riders & Paragon park. Have I missed any?

I am planning to go up to lost Trails ATV park this Saturday (7/14) or Sunday (7/15) if anybody is interested in riding there shoot Me a PM.

Can't wait to start doing all the free mods to open it up a little...might keep the stock muffler to keep the noise down though? unless I can find a lighter, better breathing after market one that isn't much louder than stock but, I've been searching the forums allot and most seem to be louder than stock...?

First thing I want to do is replace the clutch & brake levers though! Any ideas on that would be great. thanks all for the great info I have found here!

Scott

Jealous of all our posts, no doubt.

Welcome aboard. I can tell you that the Two Brothers w/ P3 tip is louder than stock, but worth it, and still not too loud.

I just brought my bike back from the dealer to do my own 10 hr/600 miile service, rather than wait for 2 weeks and pay for it. Paid $74 for a bike stand/jack instead, on my way thanks to all the great info here.

PS - not a gratuous post to keep the other's envious!.

G'day Scott

welcome to the forums. I'm curious why you want to change levers, most of us just put on a set of Bark Busters instead to save the levers from damage, as well as your hands.

Thanks for the Welcome all!

Gary -- The length of the stock levers makes it hard for Me to slip the clutch to lift the front end when I need to without crushing My other fingers... I think I'll get another stock clutch lever and experiment with shortening/bending it.
