Kinda fun bike, but wimpy stock springs, and a notchy shifter. A little better suited for running around town than on trails. Throttle response for off road riding is not exactly confidence inspiring. The basic platform is not worthy of spending a bunch of money on, expecting big performance gains. -

Green hills, a quarry and a bit of street riding. Family friendly with no cussin' or music.

So, who's waiting for a 2016? I love the grey and gold. Looks better than the white and gold (2015)in my opinion. I've been wanting a DRZsm for years and when I went to purchase one in 2013, I ended up getting a Kawasaki KLX250s instead... Wish I would have went with the DRZ... The dealer anticipates the 2016 to arrive mid August so can't wait!

Hello all, this is my first post. Will a 351 bb kit work with the stock carb/exhaust? I know one of the dyno graphs on his site was labeled with stock carb/exhaust so I'm assuming it likely will. I'm looking to put some more power into my klx250 and want to do it in incremental stages, bigger carb and exhaust will come later, probably after a trip to Scotland. If this will work do you guys have recommended jettings for the carb? I live against the Colorado foothills at around 5200 feet elevation. I'll regularly venture up into the mountains, around 8000 or 9000 feet. Occasionally I like to ride up mountain passes 10000+ feet. I've not been much of a gear head in the past so this will be the first time I've attempted to do any sort of modification like this so it's a big learning process for me. I figured I'd start on smaller engines first.

Picked up a basket case 2009 KLX250S. Motor is already disassembled and noted the cam chain sprocket on the crankshaft is missing teeth/damaged. The crankshaft needs replaced. I will be evaluating the entire engine once I tear it down. Are there any other years or models that the crankshaft crosses over with? Specifically the KLX300 or older 250s. Looks like the stroke/rod length are the same for both engines. This is an electric start only motor, if that matters. Just searching for options before I spend $350 on a used crank. TIA Al

I have a 2009 Klx250sf and am doing some dual sport modifications. I am having trouble removing the front sprocket. I am replacing the front sprocket, rear sprocket and chain. I went up to a 45 rear and kept the front at 14. I am turning the engine over and am unable to loosen it at all. I would have a friend hold the rear break but the rear tire and chain are not on the bike. Any suggestions or do I have to put the bike back together just to hold the rear brake? I am also running into an issue with putting on my barkbuster handguards because the ends of the bars seem to be plugged from the factory. I am tempted to drill out the thin plugs but am unsure what purpose they serve. Otherwise the only other way they would work would be to buy new handguards. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

The 2017 KLX250S is a capable off-road performer and a reliable, fun road bike. The Kawasaki KLX heritage making it an awesome on or off road machine. Whether you are tearing it up on the weekends with your mates or hauling to work and back through the week, enjoy the best of both worlds with the 2017 KLX250S. Giant engines and a heap of gadgetry are not necessary to have a great time on two wheels. On the paved road the KLX250S is a well mannered and easy to ride motorcycle that can easliy keep pace with traffic on the open road. When the seal road ends and the off-road country begins the light and nimble KLX250S' torquey liquid cooled engine and adjustable suspension help you tackle all of the trails. All that capability is also paired with outstanding efficiency, making the 2017 KLX250S a superbly practical motorbike. The first thing you’ll notice when you swing a leg over the bike is it’s middle-of-the-road seat height. It’s low enough to comfortably put your feet down at a red light, yet tall enough to have close to normal dirt bike ergos. One small gripe was that the included tool bag on the rear fender is right were you swing a leg over the bike and can cause an embarrassing tip over if your boot gets caught. The instrumentation panel has a digital tachometer, which is cool since you don’t see that on most off-road bikes. This Kawasaki dual-sport is a very cold-blooded bike and, even on a relatively warm day, takes awhile to get warmed up. -

Ridden by son. I have only ridden a few times. He and his brother like it a lot. My son uses it for daily transportation at school. Going to be replaced by a Honda CB500X for better road performance. Still deciding whether to keep it or not. Decided to keep it. Too much fun to get rid of it. -
