Is the Kawasaki KLX250S a trail burner?
The Kawasaki KLX250s is a versatile combination of playbike and full-on trail burner. Right out of the box, the KLX is a willing companion, both on the dirt and on ice! It is an un-intimidating ride with a well-balanced chassis and handling. But, like many bikes, a few accessories and upgrades go a long way to improve an already good machine.

Can a KLX250S be ridden on Ice?
OK. As great as the stock KLX is, it became apparent that it could use more power when it struggled to ascend a particularly steep and rocky trail at Hatfield McCoy. The power challenge became even more of a hindrance when I started riding on ice where the vast expanse of frozen water begged for maximum drive.
What’s the redline on a KLX250 EFI?
The KLX250 is limited in 5 and 6th to about 7,000 rpm. This i can guess is to stop you going to quick. The redline is at 10,500 rpm and the bike does feel more spritely in lower gears. I would guess that this fools the ECU into thinking that the clutch is engaged]

What are the plastic fins on a Kawasaki KLX250S?
Kawasaki thinks that the plastic fins are good enough to thwart an attack by a roosted rock or an errant stick or keep a radiator from being smashed in a fall, but they aren’t…trust me. I toasted a radiator on a KDX200 many years ago during a routine tipover and learned my lesson.
What kind of Kit do I need for my KLX250S?
While I had a boatload of fun on the rock hard ponds and lakes with the stock motor churning out every bit of its 17hp, I decided to install a 351cc big bore kit from Blue Bill. That’s what the difference between 250 and 351cc looks like. The reasonably priced $535.00 kit includes a new re-bored cylinder, piston, rings, wrist pin, and gaskets.
