What kind of bike is the Kawasaki KLX250S?
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…
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.
Why does my KLX250 EFI not start?
If that switch has a defect it could be cutting the engine ignition. I thought the Interlock only disconnects power to the ignition to prevent start-up when in gear and clutch lever released. If the bike is in gear the engine will not start until the clutch lever is pulled to disengage the clutch. This post is not being displayed .
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.
How much horsepower does a KLX250S have?
Horsepower and torque increase is modest at somewhere in the 5hp and 6 ft lb range, but that is a 30% and 40% increase from stock (I suck at math, but that’s close enough). The result was noticeable once I went through a short break-in period and was able to open it up.

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.
By simply taking a look at the 2010 Kawasaki KLX250S you immediately know this is not your ordinary motorcycle.

Is the KLX250S over drive on the highway?
The Dunlop 603s seem to work very well on the street and the short hop I took down a loose gravel road felt just like knobbies should. The most pleasant surprise is the over-drive 6th gear (0.904 according to the owners manual). It will have no problem on the highway even with my fat butt loading it down.
