Deej, bike came with 13/47 gearing. I actually just ordered a 14 again for up front to bring rpms down a little on the highway. Also came with (not installed) a hindle exhaust. I started it in my shed with the hindle and its WAY too loud for me. Didnt even test ride it, put stock back on. Anybody want to buy a hindle exhaust? pm me if interested.

Havent changed jetting. Im gonna give the cam mod a shot. Im a machinist and fairly mechanically inclined so should be able to get through it. Im used to wrenchin on bikes and especially sleds. I plan on doin the cam mod, jetting, change butt plug in stock exhaust and try that.

My GF has a ninja 250 which seems far more powerful the klx. I think the ninja dynos at around 25 at the rear wheel. Think the above mods would get close to that?
