Thinking about buying a KLX Thread Tools. Yes, I have my eye on a KLX

Both companies also sell a dual-sport rendition. It will pass California standards, but the dirt-only model we tested is a federal off-road model and thus a red-sticker bike that may be restricted to certain times of the year at some riding areas in California. Even in the completely stock and wonderfully quiet form, the KLX makes a very impressive 40 horsepower. Both Suzuki and Kawasaki sell their street versions of this bike in electric-start only, but with the same quality suspension components found on the off-road race models, including a fully adjustable shock and Showa 49mm conventional fork with cartridge internals. The seat height is not especially low, but the seat is soft and cushy. The rear of the seat slopes backward, and that makes some riders feel as if they are sliding back under acceleration.

Otherwise, the KLX is the off-road spiritual brother to a Cadillac: plenty of power, supple suspension and ample comfort. The steering is not really crisp, but like the Gas Gas, that has more to do with the seat and tank keeping the rider from getting forward than it does with frame geometry. At a trail pace, the KLX is super-plush, easy to ride and pleasant. Bump up to race pace, though, and the pound KLX is less happy.

I ended up selling it and buying a wrr. View Public Profile. I changed the jetting to a main and opened up the air box.

Many thanks for the help! I believe it was only offered in the US in I see where it was offered in Canada in Not sure about other countries? Anyone else want to chime in? Far as I have ever been able to find, the bike was actually only produced the one year I have seen aftermarket parts listed for the KLX over here that say they fit , but not certain if that is correct. I would not let date of sale, or date on the registration get confused with date of manufacture. While it's possible, one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world geared up a production line to build and export a few bikes to AU.. In then end to the user, who cares, it's a new bike, and the same build as any other DRZ.

Frankly, serious racers will look elsewhere. I would also be able to invite a friend to ride with me and we could take turns on the and and play around. Thanks for the input so far guys, appreciated. Rear Tyre. None, zip, save for color. This would be a good bike for the average trail rider. The general "tell me about this bike" questions get very little reply time. They're good bikes, but have quirks that some people dont like. Because Suzuki and Kawasaki made it right the FIRST time, many parts fit many years of bikes and therefore tons of parts new and used are readily available. Oz, always with the slick bike pics!! The KLX makes a comfortable ride but is not ready for the racetrack. Find all posts by Finger Mullet. Good bike.
