Two Questions

Or you weigh 400 lbs and there's a headwind.
I can easily accelerate past 70 mph onto multilane highways riding double with my wife on the stock 2009klx250s. I had more power left to accelerate but rpms were getting high for my young (1000 miles) engine and the wife wasn't thrilled about the speed.

Power left with a klx at 70+ mph .....ha, ha, ha
Don't we screen posters.

Maybe with a BB bore kit and pumper carb, exhaust and 15t you could hit 70+ with power to spare but stock, you must be smoking the good stuff.

Ok so for those of you who put in to 300 jet kit. Do I just follow the instructions it comes with or do I have to modify it to fit my sf? Also, do I NEED a kouba screw to properly tune it?

60MPH is a more realistic speed for this bike but even still, it takes a little time to get there.

Just follow the instructions. No, you don't NEED a kouba screw - it just makes tweaking quicker and easier as you don't nee any special tools or to tilt the carb to get to teh stock screw.

On the road with my KLX I get passed by KLR650's, BMW's and pigs like that...But on the trails THEY get passed by ME, on my agile and light KLX.
That's the way it goes...baby ! A dual will always be a compromise on both road and dirt. The KLX compromises aren't big ones for my usage.
