RE: Rich vs. Lean

I've done all of the mods including a full Big Gun exhaust and this bike rocks now. I'm 250 pounds so almost weigh as much as the bike but I feel it is definatley the way to go. When I first saw this bike I told my wife I need this. It is exaclty what I have been looking for. A DS that looks and runs(with mods) just like a dirt bike. Good luck and all mods cost around 650 but well worth it.

Just out of curiosity, how much did it cost to get it that way?

I would say with the pipe, carb parts, and sprocket it was around $450. The pipe was $390, sprocket $15, carb parts $40. Did all the work myself and darn proud of it. The new air filter should finish it off until the 300 conversion is done later. As someone said earlier, this bike just works. I wanted a dirt bike being an ex MX'er, but wanted it to be practical. When I saw this bike on Kawasaki's website I knew I was going to have one. $4675 otd later and I'm happy as ever. I would compare my bike to a current 125 MX bike as far as power, top end it will be faster of course.

fireslayer the bike is NOT a POS, I have not spent a cent on my motor and I'm happy with it. I do have the 300 kit which I recieved free with my bike and I will fit it later on but for what it is its fine. Unless you have a KLX I suggest you don't have a clue. For the price there is nothing better.

I agree that this bike is definitely not a POS...
But Garry, I don't think you know the pain that we feel with the US version of the bike.
The AUS version seems to be less restricted off the showroom - i.e. the 1 inch exhaust opening compared to 1/2 inch in the US/Canada.

Fine I'll stay out of this discussion, I just get sick of people that don't own / have never riden the KLX saying it's a POS
