Im in north ga as well. Have a 300l and a klx230rs, both need new tires soon i am planning on the same setup
@atlklx5168 2 ай бұрын
The only thing I would recommend is to just not go with a larger/heavier size on the back, especially with the klx230. I went up a little bit to the 120/90r18 tire and it does have a little bit more of a sluggish feel on-road. If you only ride off-road, it probably won't matter. A sprocket changed helped me get the snap back.

I'm picking up my 2024 KLX 300 tomorrow. I really like the MZS levers (I have them on my KLR 650). However Amazon says they won't fit my bike. So I looked up OEM part #'s for a 22 vs 24 KLX 300 and the part #'s are different. Now I'm bummed and will have to search for some that compare to MZS levers. Any idea of another brand?

You mentioned that there was a difference between metric and inch sizing. I believe the front is a 90/90x21 and the stock rear equates. To a 100/90x18. I seen where guys have run a 120/90x18 and that raises the seat height a bit and could slightly change the fork angle with a subtle change in handling. What sizes did you choose? It would have been nice to include photography of the sizes in the video.

Looks nice. Lots of Keyboard Bro's in here. If u bought a Euro bike for twice the price you all do tires, sprockets and bars anway. And the KTM/Beta's are not "dual sports". They are buzzy and uncomfortable on the road and if u actually ride them they need a rebuild every 2 years or 5k miles. Save some money for all the breakdowns also.

Just sold my 250. Picked up a KLX400 {DRZ} as a project, but gonna ride it rest of season and mayb a desert trip this winter. My thoughts : The power on the DRZ is crazy good, typical power mods its faster than my stock CRF450L. Suspension is better also. However, its feels a lot heavier. The power on the road is a blast, cant use it all offroad. The KLX was way better offroad, tractors smoother and hooks up. Handles better being lighter. Trade Offs! Might buy a newer DRZ next year in black or grey, or a KLX300 in the new colors. And possibly do a Adventure Rally X navigation tower. Either way, both great bikes for riding how we do. My 250 just didnt have enough power end of day, rung the hell out hauling my 215lbs at 65mph if i gotta cover ground.

@atlklx5168 10 ай бұрын
Certainly. Between lowering links and a seat, you would be able to get at least 2” lower seat height, maybe more. You’d have to budget $200-300 for those components but I think a lot of people do it and there seems to be videos installing lowering links on the KLX. The adjustable suspension would also allow you to ensure that the bike dynamics are not too compromised with the lowered height.

So. I've had the Tusk D-Sports on my 2023 KLX300 and pretty happy with the performance front and rear, can't beat the cost and durability. However, this rear tire is heavy! 4 to 5 lbs heavier that the OEM tire and my new Dunlop Geomax EN91 ($20-30 more)! The problem with that weight is that rotational weight is more impactful on the HP and torque, and so the wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine. If felt that it had an affect on my clutch in the higher gears (5&6th). Something to consider.
@atlklx5168 11 ай бұрын
I agree completely. It does make the bike feel a little less snappy at higher speeds on the street. But at lower speeds feels good and the grip off road makes it worth it. I need to try the geomax.

USEFUL observations - not commonly available in YT videos. Succinct is mercifully NICE - Good editing. As a new bike explorer (at 72), I've been struggling to decide if any of the three minimum weight (~385 pounds) "Adventure" bikes (390 Adventure or G310GS) are worth the extra 75 pounds over the ~310 pound dual-sports (KLX or CRF 300) where one can't avoid some highways - to get to nice scenery. I've heard that the two major dual sports are like a leaf in the wind on highways; nobody seems to want to ride them more than a few Exits on highways.
@atlklx5168 Жыл бұрын
Hi Mike, I think I could do 20-30 miles on the highway but I’ve only ever owned naked street bikes so my whole riding experience has been getting blown around a bit. I might have a higher tolerance to windy highway rides than most. I think it just depends on where you come from. If you come from a Harley road glide, you will certainly be nervous on a highway dual sport ride!
