Awesome bikes. Im on my second one. The least anyone should do to these is a 13t sprocket, air lid off with HiFlo Filtro filter, and 02 delete. Super easy to do youself, under $70 total, and reversible if u dont like it. Those 3 cheap mods wake up this bike, give it a good bump in low end torque. Adding a big heavy rear tire is the WORST thing u can do these, it saps a lot of power. Keep it 100-100-18 or the OEM size. And actually the OEM tires are good if u are doing dual sport or not doing serious offroad. They work ok just aired down.
I've seen guy remove the sidestand sensor on the klr because it malfunctions. But I don't see how one that is working properly could ever be an inconvenience? What kind of situation are you in when you're using the sidestand while the bike is running and in gear?
Good question, to which the answer is…… sometimes i like to start the bike and put it in gear while the side stand is down and just start riding. This way the side stand pulls itself up without you having to put the bike upright and pull it up. Its kinda dumb but i like to do stuff like that sometimes.
Did the bike bottom out on the jump with the suspension adjusted to its highest setting? The 2020 forks and rear shocks are adjustable. That was a selling point for me. The salesman at the dealership wasn’t even aware of it. (BTW- I geek out with fun off-road stuff as well!)
@@RuckProductions35 I saw another video where under the front forks with a flathead screwdriver put it in screwed in all the way then back it out just two clicks.
This one should be it, i can never find parts specific to the 2020, the dealer i bought from said the 2018 should be the exact same for pretty much all the parts. They said the manufacturers just haven’t updated some books to show that the parts are interchangeable.

impreza99rs im 5’ 9” and my wife is 5’ 3”and we have no problem, if your legs are a little shorter i can only see it being a problem if you are a new rider. Im 158lbs so the weight difference would also bring the seat a little lower for you when you sit down. Id recommend finding a dealer with it in stock near you and check it out in person.
Depends where you are, on Guam these were selling for like $7500 which was way higher than MSRP since its on an island. I got a good deal at $6k for mine, definitely worth it if you’re okay with having a 250cc.
@@ricardor9440 I found one brand new at the dealer for $5,399 in Sacramento. Definitely try to negotiate it down a bit if you can, the worst they can do is say no.
Just bought my 2021 KLX300 this week. Thank you for the honest review. Will consider some of these mods!
Nice, if id have known they were coming out with the 300 i wouldve gotten that one too. Ride safe 🤟🏻

I just hit 17000 miles on my 2012 klx 351, loving every mile more and more
That's sweet, i might look into some upgrades as well sometime, the 351 does look pretty legit
I don't know much about bikes. But everyone I've ever talked to, has said Kawasaki Engines run forever, if taken care of.
If you do an exhaust and jet kit on this bike, it gives you massively noticeable power and throttle response difference.
With the engine being fuel injected a controller and tube would also help
you can sum up the entire review with “when i sell it”. gives you a good idea how he feels about it
Lol, I did sell it quite fast, but it was fun for a while, just turns out to be too underpowered
I have a 2019 with similar miles on it. Great bike
Sick. I love my KLR, but gotta get a KLX300.
Agreed, i was so mad when i found out they upped the displacement on the newer models 😂

I wasn’t aware that was an option, ill have to adjust it and try again. Thanks for the comment!
@@RuckProductions35 you got it! It’s in the manual if you have access to one. Lmk if you want me to share that page with you 😎

@@serfdogg i think i watched the same video, that will definitely be in my next xxx mile review, totally changed how the bike handles
@@RuckProductions35 Awesome! Thanks.
Did you adjust your suspension? That helped in my case. Same exact bike.
Can u drop a link to a 13t sprocket? I cant seem to find one specifically for a 2020

Can a 5’ 7” 200lb shortie rider reach the ground on that awesome bike?

Ruck Productions thank you... it really makes a difference being able to get your toes down.
6:44 but isn’t the top speed like 85
Yeah thats what i was saying, its not fast by any means, but its still plenty to get you around and be able to have fun on
Super nice motorcycle 💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍
Thanks! Definitely a good choice in the 250 category 🤙🏻
Is a used 2020 klx250 green worth the 5500 cash? Has 126miles😂
