For a 4 stroke it is just absolutely shocking. It will creep and crawl and then rip, under control, when you need it to. Yet no so hard that it runs out from underneath you. It would have been very difficult to go over those loose rocks the way I did on a 2 stroke.

Absolutely!! The Klx is just a great surprise every time I get on it. A very forgiving bike that will power up or crawl up just about anything you throw at it. Perhaps some day Kawasaki will pick me up and pay me. LOL
