Alex Gee Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Hey guys I have a 1999 kx250 2 stroke how do I take down the bike in first and second gear I give it barely any throttle and it stands straight up to 12 o'clock with me on the gas tank Edited September 26, 2019 by Alex Gee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crypto666 Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) The tranny on that year sucks. Look at swapping gear sets with another year or put in a kdx trans. Depending on what you are doing with the bike. Or you could refine your throttle grip. Use the search function for no1clyde kdx trans. Edited September 26, 2019 by crypto666 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would make the power hit even harder in first and second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was just thinking of the closely spaced first and second used that year, it is hard to tell which one is which. Although the transmission may not be the answer here in any case.
