Totally fun, for sure

Heck yea brothaman!

I had to take a little hiatus from making content but I’ll be back…for sure 😀

😂

Funny you’re the only one that mentions it! 🤣 good catch!!

@bubbazanetti6657 I seen it a couple of years ago and got lost on re 650 gt. The swung back around to supermotos lol

@redpepper007 Thanks for the input. I ended up opting out of that buy some time ago, mainly because of what you mentioned about city riding. I know it's a dirt bike but I had the idea of using it as a supermoto, as I ride on the road more often than not. The ride factor was fun, upon first impression but then I got to thinking about the long haul and how it would fair for daily use. Ultimately, I thought it wasn't going to work for me - Good bike though, I just wasn't going to use it for what it was actually built for...off-road.

@bubbazanetti6657 happy to share my experience. Actually also the maintenance should be considered, as it requires oil n filter change every 1000km, plus the air filter washing and oiling. 1000km in city collects quite quickly, but on the trails it's a long time. And after 10k+ km it's time for engine rebuild 😀

Haha didn’t even consider that but glad to know I made the right decision, at least for my riding style 👍

Have not done so

@mikeykelley7071 it’s a CRG blindsight bar end mirror.

Yes, 3500 but I’m actually at 7800 miles now and still on the original tires! The rear tire is flattening out in the center but the treads are not faded yet.

I couldn’t keep the Delkevic…it was too loud for my taste but definitely a good slip on.

@@bubbazanetti6657 I run mine open, but I thought it was pretty quiet with the spark arrestor in.

@jasonpimentel5226 🙌 it’s a good bike, for sure. Kawasaki products are really good!

@@bubbazanetti6657 having a hard time choosing between the Klx300sm or a ninja 500,the ninja 500 has more bang for buck with the amount of the tech you you get for the same price and it’s a good looking bike but the klx looks like so much fun,I won’t be doing no high way driving just mostly in town

@jasonpimentel5226 yea I totally feel you. IMO, you can’t go wrong with either one. It’ll just come down to what you will be using it for. The KLX is a great commuter bike - the powerband is not comparable to the 500 bc you’ll obviously be getting better pick up with the 500. But the KLX is fun bc you can rev it out and it will reward you. And moreover, you can take it off-road if you desire. Whatever you choose, have fun and ride safe!

Absolutely!

@@bubbazanetti6657 awesome ! Looking at a 2023 but it new stock so I was curious on how I guess the powe band and how it pulls !

@denox420 The more you ride it, the more you realize how much you can appreciate it. 😁

@@bubbazanetti6657 at 1,250 miles now. And got a few mods on it like after market controls. Love it to bits still tho!

I hear you - and I respect your opinion.

@eminiscalperpro9729 it’s a great bike for off-road trails for sure, but you would probably want to slap on some proper knobby’s for that. You don’t want go off-road with the street tires it comes equipped with.

@par4par72 Couldn't have said it any better myself!

@Noisycowonline Totally agree with that statement. Honestly, there’s good value/investment when purchasing a used motorcycle, especially when one can realize the resale value of a specific brand (ie; Honda, Kawasaki, etc.) The KLX has proven to be a good asset for those looking to learn on or an experienced rider looking to add to their stable, all the while holding its value if they decide to move on to another motorcycle, for whatever reason. Personally, I enjoy riding motorcycles in general and have made the decision to finance the KLX brand new, only because it was a good option for me at the time, but of course, that isn’t the case for everyone. Purchasing or financing a used motorcycle is worth it so long as a person is able to take some time to do research on the history of the potential purchase, making sure it has been treated with a degree of care, in order to enjoy it without the stress of spending more money on it for repair, and genuinely want to spend time on said purchase, with out having the overwhelming feeling of outgrowing or getting bored of it, hastily.

@johnleonardlee6735 I’m glad you feel good about this. Ride safe out there and appreciate the gift that is the present. 👍

Sweet! Yea let’s gooooo! Where did you pick up your bike from? I’m not working tomorrow (Friday), if you’re available I’m down.

@@bubbazanetti6657 yeah man and I’ll be done work at like 2. So I’ll hit you up!

@patmckelvey my afternoon just got busy. Let’s keep each other posted on availability for another day. ✌️

@@bubbazanetti6657 absolutely dude no big deal.

Mornin’ - what’s your availability like, today?

I’ve thought about it, maybe I’ll pull it out at some point in the near future.

@TrustedSilver1987 You’re right. If I could I would, just don’t have it like that tho. 😒

lol maybe put in a job application thou.

@@TrustedSilver1987 🤣

@@TrustedSilver1987 I have! 😂

@@bubbazanetti6657 that's good dude because there are a lot of exciting new models being released these days.

Hahaha thanks! You’ll be happy to know my sentence formation has matured 🙃

Agree! Also, I ended up keeping the stock exhaust - I can appreciate its simplicity. The bike performs more than fine.

@Jason P That would be pretty awesome

$6,299.00 new.

@@bubbazanetti6657 I have found two gently used ones for $6,000. I suppose that may be fair considering there would not be the extra fees.

I concur. 😁🙌👍

@C Neiner I appreciate the feedback but I've had a change of heart - 6 months into riding a Kawi motorcycle and I've converted. Granted, I may feel the same about Yamaha but I've yet to ride one. That said, I'm now looking into another Kawasaki model - nothing personal on Yamaha, It's just the path I'm on, at this time. However, given how much I enjoy riding motorcycles, I'm sure I'll get around to trying (and most likely, purchasing) a Yamaha.

I'm selling my 2017 09 & thinking about getting the KLX. I'm 66 years old & the Yamaha just demands to much attention to ride it fast, for me anyway. It's like it is just waiting for me to make a mistake so it can pounce. I'm pretty sure the little Kawasaki would be more fun & more forgiving. If there's such a thing as too much fun it's the 09's motor.

Congrats! Seems like you're prepping for some good fun rides - and yes, it will open up but I think maybe sooner than you think!! 😁 At least it did for me...it was around the 100 mile mark. Regardless, have fun and ride safe!

@@bubbazanetti6657 Thanks Bubba Z

I own a 22 klx300sm With 11000 miles. It opens a little more at 2000 miles too. Or 2500.cant recall. The mods do make a difference. But it's still a 300cc bike. But it's fun to go through those gears. Very fun bike. And I agree with your thoughts. of the bike. Be blessed

@@markwilliams34-sz6mk I am at the 600 mile point and it has not opened up yet. I am following the break-in procedure as outlined in the owners manual and this week I take the bike in for it's first oil change and break-in service. In 6th gear at 60 miles an hour it seems to be screaming rev wise and I hope that tapers off soon. Did you experience the same?

@Chris Right I got rid of the stock bars and installed the ProTaper Red Bud Mid - Better quality and a bit wider.

Thanks! Any issues with cable slack? I hear a ton of people talk about cables being too short for aftermarket bars.

@@chrisright2602 I’ve heard that too but the bike mechanic fixed the slack for me after he installed the bars.

@Chris Right I added the link to the ProTaper handlebars in the description.👍

I hear that - honestly, I'm satisfied with how the bike runs after the air flow mods...there's a significant difference. I'm also not in the financial position to purchase a power commander/EJK for 1, 2 or 3 horsepower more?...Nah, I'm good.

I’m not sure if you’ve seen this yet, but there’s a ton of great info in this video about the air fuel mixture and other power adding mods with dyno proof to back it up. I removed the secondary throttle plate on my klx and it was a totally different bike. There’s definitely a noticeable difference in the mid rpm range that made it more fun ride.

@brightinthemiddle You right but…it’s not that I’m not happy with my ride - I think I’m just addicted.

Did you notice a difference in performance, immediately after deleting the o2...or did it take a few days to adjust? Only reason I ask is bc I did the o2 for 1 day and did NOT notice a difference.

I find that the mods I’ve done so far, (KDX Snorkel, K&N Air Filter) have been sufficient enough to adjust the ecu to the extra air flow. Granted, I still am running the stock exhaust, the bike runs significantly better than stock…Is it worth deleting the o2 sensor with a stock exhaust?

@Bubba Zanetti probably not. With after market exhaust I did notice a difference between my dad's bike and mine when he did the delete he gained some pull on mine.

@CookieKing Low key...I even do the power poses before getting on the bike.

@@bubbazanetti6657 if that's true. I secretly think it's cool

@@potterportraits 🤩

That would be a sweet intro go, go, supermoto 🔥

@Brandon Knapp Can’t go wrong with buying used and saving some money💰 for upgrades and the sort. 👍

@Mike O I hear you brothaman. I traded in my 2019 Triumph Speed Twin 1200cc for the KLX300sm…no regrets.👍

@Ginio Lamy Good stuff! Great bike to learn on. Ride safe out there! 🙌👍
