Very cool!For the bikes we know and love!
I got my bike in June of '21 after a few decades of not having a bike. I've never had an off-road capable bike before so my learning curve has been steep yet highly enjoyable.
I've been looking at the new 300's. glad to bike power to be sufficent for trail use. And shortcomings with the chassis you have noticed?I haven't ridden a 250 so I can't compare. However, I haven't found my bike to be underpowered for any trails that I've ridden. It could use more power on the street but that's another story.
It can definitely pull the front end to clear obstacles:
Leaky hose doesn't sound very appealing...
Do you have a link? Kawasaki's site hates me and apparently so does NHTSA & EPA.
What did the dealer say the fix was last time?Well, my bike's back in the shop AGAIN for the same issues as before, so it's going to get the recall work done while it's there.
I got my letter a couple of days ago. It says the recall is because of an EPA issue. It is not a safety recall. I won't be in a hurry to get it done.Safety Recall | Kawasaki Owners Center

Has anyone done a valve check/adjustment on their KLX? I' m wondering how difficult it is and also how well does the KLX hold adjustment. Was anyone way out of spec at 7500 miles or is that a very conservative mileage set by Kawasaki?
