A few buddies and I hit the Bushnell go karts today for the first time. Really impressed with that little track. We are all borderline ready to grab supermotos now so we can go back and have some real fun lol.

Glad to see more 300SM content. My SM comes out of winter hibernation this week, really stoked about that. Gixxer 750 gets to sleep for a couple more weeks before it comes out. Finally gonna start riding again. Man I hate winter.

@liquidmetal I know that feeling. I've been bikeless for last 7 months from a bad accident, but got me a 300sm to replace my totaled 390 duke last month. can't wait...maybe 1 more month of PT and I'll be good to go.

Honestly in my opinion for the average rider I would say a grom or z125. The klx300 was a lot of fun on that track but almost too much horsepower for how tight the turns are, at least at my level

Sweet bike man! I have one too, but in the black and blue. I want to put handguards on mine so I can possibly take it to the track. Did you have to drill holes in the bar to put those handguards in?

@SALTxTHExWOUND 2 жыл бұрын

Hey man, I love that blue! Wish they would’ve had it in stock but I can always paint it if I want I suppose. Yes I drilled out the ends of the bars with a 7/8” bit I believe. Be careful when you do it bc the bars will get really hot and melt the grips, I made that mistake on the first side but I was replacing the grips anyhow. Just a heads up 👍🏻

I put the same gear shift indicator on my wifes ninja 300. For this being 500$ more than the crf 300l that has a gear shift indicator and a gas guage, to have to spend another 200$ to tell what gear your in is insane. Not to mention this klx looks like you went back to 1995 and brought the bike to 2022, Kawasaki dropped the ball on this one.

@hairyparatestes1183 2 жыл бұрын

I can tell what gear I’m in by listening to the revs/RPM’s. A gear indicator is akin to relying on the arrows on the side view mirrors on the car. In the old days we used to just turn our heads to see if anything was next to us B4 changing lanes or backing up. An improvement to the KLX would be a larger fuel tank.

@SALTxTHExWOUND 2 жыл бұрын

If you rode the track you'd understand, you're constantly shifting gears and it's a good indication of your turn in speed and corner speed.
