Dec 16, 2021 · Even at 293# wet, the 2020 klx230 that I recently sold felt like a pit bike compared to my 317# drz400. The tighter and smoother the terrain, be it dirt or pavement, the more fun the klx230 is. Because of the low seat height and shorter wheelbase, It has good power for what it is, and feels easier to control and more nimble than a typical ...

Mar 10, 2021 · Starting a thread for mods and accessories that work on the KLX230 Dual Sport. Please share what works, and what doesn't!

Jul 1, 2021 · So on a whim I went ahead and bought the Eibach springs from RMATV. But before installing them in the klx230 I was curious as to what spring rate the klx230 actually was. Doing some very unscientific measuring with Mrs. 76xtdrvr's bathroom scale, a yardstick, and a 24" long by 3/4" round wooden dowel I did some spring rate measuring.

Jan 20, 2022 · Welcome to the KLX230 Nation. We are a club that welcomes KLX230 owners, wannabe owners, fans and anybody else who wants to discuss this fantastic breed of dual-sport motorcycles, conceived and spawned by Kawasaki.

Oct 1, 2024 · I was looking at stuff for my KLX140RF on this site and noticed they have a BBK for the KLX230R - 268cc using a 72mm forged piston. I imagine it would work with the street version, too since same motor. Would give it a nice kick in torque and hp. Usually the BBK increase compression ratio along w...

Jun 23, 2021 · On both the KLX230 and the KLX230R (review of that coming soon), Kawasaki has implemented an adjusting idle designed to make life easier for a beginner. Here’s their breakdown: Warming up: idle is at 2,400 rpm Normal operating temperature: idle is 1,800 rpm

Dec 3, 2019 · Forks have tabs for speedo magnet and some road legal stuff (shared with KLX230). I'm think about grinding those off. Need to find touch up paint. Waiting for the gold valves. If you go up even an inch on the bars, you'll need cables. KLX300 throttle cables work. Couldn't find a longer clutch cable. I used a torque reduction box to gain length.

Aug 14, 2021 · Pushing or floating is when the tire is turned slightly or a lot and instead of the tire biting into the dirt, it skids sideways just pushing straight forward, when you have the proper balance a bike with that short wheel base should carve corners really good.

Sep 12, 2022 · Getting off the drz and on the klx230 is like getting off a full size dual sport and onto a pit bike. Depending on rider height and riding style, this can be either an advantage or disadvantage. The 293 lb. klx230 seat height of 34.8" is about the same as the 304 lb. klx250. Despite the weight of the klx230, it can be flicked around easily.

May 6, 2021 · The KLX230R off road model runs 80/100-21 front and 100/100-18 rear knobbies. Some riders choose a wider rear tire supposedly for more traction, but the 100/100-18 stock rear will work fine for the KLX230, IMO. I also feel going to an extremely wider tire than stock negatively affects handling, both on and off road.
