Hello people! I've had my bike for about 2 months now, riding it like crazy!!! 2010 blue klx250sf, love it. I've been reading here for about 9 months or so, finally decided to join this as well as supermotojunkie and advrider. Quick question, I've been having an issue with my transmission or chain possibly. When I shift from 1st to 2nd and I rev and let out the clutch on the last second of clutch engagement, right when I let go, I feel and hear a "ggggrrunch" type of noise. Is this normal? Thanks

 

Welcome to the group. How about some pics of your bike?

 

Welcome to KF, I've also said welcome on AdvRider but the more the merrier.

I am no expert on mechanics but what your describing could be related to many of things, clutch, transmission, and what seems to be an issue for a few people is the shift star(seen here: https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...-change-35512/) but they shift star issue usually has different symptoms, i.e. the transmission being stuck in a particular gear.

There are a lot of great members and some of the best advice in the KLX250 specific forum, I would highly suggest posting up a thread with your question there.

Oh haha I thought this was the klx250 specific forum, gotta go introduce myself over there.

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Welcome! It's a fun bike, especially on crowded freeways splitting lanes and riding stairs!
