    '23 KPX250, Love it! All the mods but the sprocket ratio is good for me. I gave up on Dual Sport Tires.. I couldn't handle the wierd lean handling and swapped to street tires on the stock wheels.. Wow! Stability/Total Smoothness, no leaning into a corner and going too far into incoming traffic. Love it so much, I'm going full 17" super moto w/ 120/160 tires. You can lower the KPX 2" up front, and 3-4" rear if you exend the lower link by 1 inch. It's cast steel, and welds beautifully using MIG. I got the 17 rims, spokes on order to length. Should be easy to keep same hubs. Note worthy is stock rear spokes are 8 gauge/4mm, front are 10/3.2 gauge. Other stuff: 1. Never turn the throttle backwards! I made this mistake with improper use of ratchet straps! Anyway, threw a ECU code, and took full dissassembly of the throttle handle bar assembly. Required full battery dis/reconnect to fix. 2. Power has increased substantially after 500 miles.. gradual but easily 20% more over initial start. I keep only 93 octane around, so maybe that makes a diff? Full throttle in 5th is kind of impressive in fact. Good Power! 3. Got to have Bark Busters if you keep the stock dual sport tires. I dropped the KPX several times doing slomo parking lot maneuvers.. that "lean and Pray" just doesn't work on DS tires. Broke the clutch lever OFF, and luckily I managed to make it home being very creative with the lever remains to start rolling. 4. Dropping Front forks. You will need a handlebar mount that allows you to move the bars back by ~3/4 inch and likely raise them similar. You can make up the difference likely by rotating the bars. The Shocks are dropped by loosening the front tripe clap. A solid 2" drop is possible w/o any mods. Kickstand will need to be shortened or replaced with an adjustable version. 5. Throttle/clutch cable adjustments. I diddled the throttle body idle adjustment up 200 RPM which gave me a bit more idle torque. Without slipping the clutch in idle I can now do very tight lock to lock figure 8's at idle! Idle torque was a problem when I first got it, had to slip the clutch quite a bit.. now not so much. Throttle slack.. got to have some slack. Going lock to lock w/o slack moves the throttle and clutch friction point slightly which will throw you off in slo mo maneuvers. Check your cable routing around the triple clamp to minimize cable bending. 6. The passenger (Really??) footpegs are pretty heavy.. I removed them. Just a great bike.. With a superb fuel gauge, a nice dash! The motorcycle inspection guy was impressed.. passed no problem here in Maryland. Nothing overly cheap or Chinese. Kawasaki needs to drop thier prices.. this one is comparable to a KLX230 and gives the KLX300 a run at half the price. Wish Lifan made a super moto version. The gorgeous power line right of ways around here are signed up with Private Property, No Tresspass under some USCode threat of prosecution. Love this bike.. best ever (With Street Tires) to learn on.. Indestructable (with BBusters). Complaint: Stickers coming off! KPX250.com Chinariders.org

    Got about 800 miles on mine.. the list of Mods is Very Long.. turning it 17x120 Front /17x160 rear Super Moto. Dropped the rear 4", the Front 2".. Looking for another inch or two on the front. Currently sitting at a 32" seat height with stock 21/18 wheels but street tires. made ALL the difference. The much shortened kick stand drags now, but easy fix to come. The Power on my KPX just keeps climbing! The torque is way up from initial. I diddled the throttle body idle stop screw to give it another 200ish RPM at idle and a bit more torque for parking lot maneuvers w/o slipping clutch. Clutch and Throttle cable routing and slack is critical to precision clutch and throttle control. I only keep 93 octane around so it gets that. Wide open in 5th is darn good now.. I would say power (Torque!) is up 25% since new.. Break in it would seem?

    My KPX 250 started out whimpy.. had to rev it a lot. Very little torque at idle made it almost hard to drive. Initial opinion was "Not Great"! Over the next 400 miles, it got MUCH Better. Idle is now strong and 5th gear has some grunt. I can do tight, near full lock, low speed circles without slipping the clutch at idle. Never enough power, but really NO complaints. Could be break-in or ECU learning? Major drivability improvements regardless.

      No real issues yet, just standard issues like a battery or breaking a lever when we fall. And our hobby is much cheaper because of it :)

    I just got my 2023 date of manufacture KPX250. Just got it running yesterday. Idle seems rather weak.. no torque at all till maybe 1800 RPM. It might be improving over time, or I'm naturally adjusting to it. I only have 15 miles so far. I may have a newer flash version from the factory? Should I look into a Reflash? One stickey clutch/No Friction Point to start.. I slipped it a bit, and is better now. The engine braking when you let off the throttle is something you need to anticipate, especially at low RPM. Brakes need some breakin too.

    • @dadbodbikers
      @dadbodbikers 4 месяца назад

      You can email to ask if yours was flashed before selling, i believe they track it. No torque till 1800 is worrisome.. these things are like little tractor engines for me.

    Are all the Chinese made dual sports basically the same? My buddies all have Dual Sports KTM, HONDA etc. I'm not rich and want to ride.. I know these type of bikes can't compare to their bikes but.. It is what it is.. I'm 5'7 and suggestions..Thank You For Your Time..🤜🏻⛈️🤛🏻🤘🏻😎🫡

    • @dadbodbikers
      @dadbodbikers 5 месяцев назад

      The same? Nah, they equate to 5+ year old Japanese technology. The quality isn't always up to snuff compared to nicer ktms and Hondas.. and you'll end up doing basic maintenance yourself because they don't have a ton of dealers around. Worth it? Ya! At 5'7 I'd recommend a Tbr7 or magician 250 as a starter bike.. the kpx is much taller and may be harder to get started on. That being said, we ride all the same trails and group rides as those guys!

    • @dadbodbikers
      @dadbodbikers 5 месяцев назад

      I don't think either is a bad decision. The dlx is a good bike but the kpx is slightly better in quality and performance. You pay extra for the kpx so that makes sense. As the DLX has been around longer there is slightly more aftermarket support. Ive been a big fan of Lifans support so I'll stick with them but the hawk DLX is a good bike too!
