Still 100% enjoy riding this bike, whenever I can. I'm planning to bring it out to a bunch more places as well. I Also have plans for a few upgrades in the future.
Thanks for sharing your fun ride. Couple questions if you get a moment to reply..... How does the XR do on hill climbs? Are there any low cost options to increase the power?
hello, I weigh about 160lbs and this machine moves me just fine up most hills. I've also added a smaller front sprocket (from 17t to 16t, maybe $20) so its easier to ride slow in the woods and has more torque down low. other than that I've done nothing so far. I do believe they are working on engine kits and such but I don't need that for the light trail riding I do. Hope this helps some.
@@Richard-dh8ny I may have lost a couple mph of top speed, however it still gets up to 60mph. I generally stay around 50-55mph on the roads around my area.
Doesn’t putting a larger front sprocket on actually raise top speed, but reduce low speed torque, but a larger rear sprocket lowers top speed, but increases torque at the rear wheel? That’s why the old bikes had “overlay” sprockets, and you carried an extra piece of chain to make up for the larger trail sprocket.
Nice, I took mine out today also.
Bottomed it out plenty,lol
This is what my klx 150bf was like before mods great bikes with some simple fixes
Here we go again let’s RIDES🏍️

Thanks, that's very helpful. Changing the front sprocket is a great, simple mod. How did this affect the max speed cruising a highway or paved road?

@bryanbrowning5746 you are absolutely correct. I meant to say that I went one tooth less on the front sprocket. 😅 stock is 17t, I went to the 16t.
