Congrats Grace.
It would takes me months to do all that with waiting around on ebay and such. I really missed south east Asia "motorcycle culture".
I am really interested on What front forks upgrade available in your neck of wood Grace.
Safe ride.
Hello my friend, you are so right - this little transformation would have taken a lot more time and money in Australia. Here, I basically just rocked up to Burning Shop in the morning and they had everything in stock, finished by the afternoon. Of course that's the beauty of choosing a bike which is locally available and compatible with part from many previous year models. Getting KTM or Gas Gas parts over here - well, that's just a vale of tears!
In my opinion, Indonesia still wins on the motorcycle culture front ;) Damn I miss it too. Incidentally, this bike is manufactured in Indonesia.
Fork upgrades - well, what I want is Technix on the front, because that is some dreamy suspension.However unfortunately those parts come out of Japan and covid has kicked that supply chain in the teeth. The best value for money upgrade around here is probably YSS. Not sure high end but better than stock! I will keep you updated on which direction I decide to take with this is. It's also possible that I may not invest further in this bike, and just keep it on the light side of enduro, because I am hopeful that I will have the gas gas back on the trails for the hard stuff soon.
Thank you for helping me make a decision on an enduro bike at 1:55 . I want a bike that has no paperwork or tax .👍
I just got one in the SE model. Love all your mods. Will look to do some on mine.
Great, congrats on the new bike! 👍 If you need any aftermarket bits from Asia you can order from me through klxparts.com 😉
Great video Grace, Which bend did you get on your Renthal Fatbars?
Hi Frank, they're Renthal 996
Can you tell me where you got your headlight for it? Do you think it would work with the stock odometer setup?
Klxparts.com but no, unfortunately it will not work with the stock instrument cluster
Did you find a solution to reduce size/ weight of instrument cluster and headlight? Thanks..
@@Yourfriendinendtimes I no longer have the bike but what I did was rip everything off the front of the triple clamps, odometer, light, steel bracket that mounts them. Then I made a custom aluminum mount just for the odometer and got a led headlight that straps onto front forks. Made like a 5 pound difference
Hey. This video was so helpful as I just bought this bike. And wanted to make it more for trails right now. I love everything you did but just wondering where you got the bracket for the reservoir after you took the pegs off. Thanks so much in advance
Hey! I've replied to your email, and you can also place orders with me through klxparts.com 👍
Congrats on the new bike ! Loving the mods! I’ll say shiny side up and between the hedges but I know you’ll be sending it. So at least it’s protected!!
Ah you know me too well...
Nice video, only your camera is in mirror mode. Can you please give us links for the headlight and the brake fluid reservoir bracket.
Those parts were sourced from Burning Shop in Chiang Mai web.facebook.com/bnsspeedcm . It's a treasure trove of aftermarket parts but unfortunately their online listings are limited. The brake fluid resevoir bracket is by THEP but as far as I know the headlight assembly is a no-name version of a ktm part
Grace, may I ask, which Renthal fatbar bend did you get? I have a 2022, but I have the SE model so my stock bars are better/thicker. I want something with more rise though because I'm 6 feet tall. Wondering what bend to get that matches the sweep of the stock bars but rises a bit.
I use the Renthal 996. I reckon the 997 is a bit too high a bend for enduro, but it may be alright for a more relaxed style of riding?
Hello Grace I'm both a new subscriber to your channel and a new (2020) KLX 230 owner. Can you tell me what PSI you run on your 2022 KLX when running through the jungle? Thanks!
Hi mate! 10 psi with tubes, zero psi since i switched to Tubliss
Nice bike.
Can you link or list the names of the aftermarket parts, I recently purchased the 22 klx230s version and I’m having a hard time finding aftermarket parts here in Japan, thanks!
Hi mate, some of these parts are cheap local copies and so don't have a brand name to go on. Are you able to access Lazada from Japan? You will find all these "no name" parts on there.
Here is a quick list of parts:
Renthal fat bars
Acerbis hand guards
Procircuit full exhaust
"Thep" rear brake fluid resevoir bracket
"Yamoto" alloy bash plate
"Z" levers
No name:
headlight (copy of KTM part)
rear brake light and number plate holder (about 1000baht on Lazada)
manual idle adjustment screw (about 500 baht on Lazada)
How are the front forks , looking at specs they have less travel on the road reg version compared to the R version .Btw bike is looking better too with the mods you have done ✅
Front folks are pretty average, as you'd expect from 1970s technology 🤣 but the low center of gravity and relative lightness of the bike allow you to ride around these limitations a lot of the time. It doesn't take much to bottom them out though.
@@BikeHedonia thank you 😊
Nice,
I see Walaby Ted's brother got a mention! ".... ?",You ask.
Roo'Ted!
Certainly did 😅
did you have to re map the ECU for the new setup?
No, if you just mod the exhaust, you don't need to remap. If you put the vortex air intake funnel or start to mess with the camshaft, you'll need to remap.
I cant find that rear master cylinder guard youre using anywhere? Also what shifter did you go with?
The aluminium bracket for the rear brake resevoir (necessary since I removed the rear footpegs) is available here in Thailand on Lazada and local mx shops. If you have no luck finding one, send me an email on bikehedonia@gmail.com and I can probably ship you one.
The shifter is just the OEM folding shifter from the KLX230R. The R version got a folding shifter whereas the dualsport version did not.
Where did you get the bracket for the brake relocation?
www.klxparts.com
The frame protection is standard on the SE model
And also on the R model. But not on the standard model.
Wow, all that before riding. Impressive! Have you had a chance to weigh the bike after? Can't wait for the videos to come.
Unfortunately I don't have any suitable scales to weight the bike - I am just as curious as you to know how much weight we were able to eliminate in the end. It certainly feels a lot lighter.
@@BikeHedoniaNever thought I could shave so much weight off my KLX.. you have inspired me! was it expensive to have a new exhaust system made?
Hola donde puedo conseguir ese mismo faro con la ranura para la manguera de freno delantero?
You can get it here: hivoltspares.com/product/lightweight-headlight-unit/
Did you reflash your ecu when you installed the aftermarket full exhaust?
No
@@BikeHedonia so you're saying that the bike works fine(might be better?) With full system exhaust with stock ecu/map?
And does your bike's headers ever get red hot?
@@wangliqin6622 yes correct, bike runs fine. Never had the headers glowing hot. However mine is the dualsport edition, not the R.
@@BikeHedonia mine is also the dualsport(road legal?) But my headers get red hot after a while. Maybe changing to aftermarket full exhaust might help with the glowing headers. Thanks!
Why do we say handlebars when it’s actually handlebar?
Hello love what u are doing could you please help me & send me the info on the part to fix the high idle on my 230 r thank u & keep up the awesome attitude u have
Hi mate send me an email to bikehedonia@gmail.com and i will arrange to ship one to you 👍
Hi My friend, What model headlights?
No brand, just cheap copy of KTM headlight from China. Can buy off Lazada or at my local dirtbike shops. I have an orange one for sale if you want an orange one ;)
@@BikeHedonia thanks my friend 🙏
impressive video.. why not just buy the off road model and turn it into steet legal model?
Because you can't. No green book, no green book
Really trying to decide if the klx230s or the klx230 would fit my 31-inch inseam better.
Not sure what you mean, are you trying to decide between the KLX 230 standard and the klx230r?
I will make a video about seat height in a few days 😉
@@BikeHedoniaI am guessing it’s different in your location: here in the USA, there is a klx230 and a klx230s (both street legal dual sports). Both are the same bike, but the klx230s has a 2 inch lower seat height.
@@smallfact0ry921 Interesting! Here we have the 230S (i.e. standard) and the 230SE (which just the 230S with ABS). And then there are the Rs, which are non-street legal dirt bikes. I really wanted the R but I needed to be street legal so I coiuld run legit tours, dammit
no turn signals now? on front or back?
No, no turn signals right now. If I was planning on riding on-road I might replace them with LED strips on the bark busters and round LEDs bolted into the number plate, but for now I'm keeping it off road
I'm after the "S" version for carrying on the back of my van. Its a street bike for the occasional trip on the gravel
The SE edition? With abs?
@@BikeHedonia "S" For short. Seat height only 83mm. Just available here in Indonesia
Before going too far into this video. I first noticed flip flops/thongs. Then it goes into an airline safety briefing with the hand movement. Carry on.
Variety being the spice of life 🤷
@4:00 in my second thought is that you rub this bike down like a dick.
7:30 never wear a rubber at 69, save it for the full send.
@@dentalnovember I like this bike a lot better than most of the dicks in my comments section, so...
@13:25 get the aluminum swing arm.
Wow just like owning a Harley! You have to spend a ton of money after you buy it new just to make it right or the way it should be! 😂
im debating buying this bike versus the honda 300 enduro.........the honda is only not much more than 1000 dollars more. for a much better bike!!!
Honda is much heavier
@@BikeHedonia yes im debating this situation. good video.
@@yogavnture1 It depends what you want the bike to do. If you want to ride on road, buy the crf300l. If you want to ride off road, buy the KLX.
Geez what a hit piece. Boy giving all those parts about five minutes lifespan in the jungle speaks more about your riding skills or lack thereof than the bike itself.
I like CRF 450RL
It's a lovely bike, and certainly a better bike, but twice as expensive and considerably heavier. I struggle a little with the weight and height of the crf450rl on single track.
You are hilarious. I’d like to ride with you.
I have a tour company in Thailand! HiVolt Moto Tours 😉
