Love the attention u are giving Kawi, Kyle! We definitely ride different though. Riding technical terrain in 2nd gear and feathering the clutch is probably faster, but I keep the revs high in 1st gear on the steep/rough stuff so i never stall or loop. And now that Kawi has e-start I think it would really look good with headlight/tail light. Looking forward to more vids of this bike
In the video, could you please occasionally mention what gear you are in? Hard to judge by speed and sound. For example, around 3 minute mark when you said lots of "clutch modulation" was that in 1st or 2nd gear??
Love your vids. Wish they were longer sometimes. Maybe do a long and short version of the same vid and see how views compare. I love watching Fast Guys Slow Bikes for his long hare scramble vids.
Hi Kyle, most of the time the opportunity is only to ride alone. Wondering if you have covered this. Would you ride locally if testing/ fun etc. Cheers John Australia.
Check out this video of a clutch split screen of Graham Jarvis going up a mountain they used in the Sea to Sky enduro race ruclips.net/video/En4pLTEUY70/видео.html .
I noticed you mentioned "balance". I'm 58, been out of riding for quite a few years and have noticed my balance is not like it was in my younger years (sucks getting old). Do you or anyone else here have any good exercises for bettering your balance. Thanks 👍
I use a Bosu ball daily to work on my balance. Also one leg squats with a weight in the opposite hand. Static balance practice on the bike for more practical training. I too have noticed lack of balance as I get older.
Steg Pegz really helped me. Im not in my 40's yet but 20 years construction give me arm pump bad, they really help that. It keeps your legs locked and pinching the frame also. Took 2 rides to get used to them and adjusted correctly, but my balance and endurance really increased. U need 2 or 3 pucks though to actually get any benefits. They arent cheap for what they are, but u can stand on the pegs all day with them
My dads been riding forever and he’s your age... He works on his balance with a revolution balance board, there’s other brands, but it’s the one he has and he’s so good at it none of our friends or his riding group are able to master it like he has... Whenever someone first tries to use it he hands them a pair of hiking poles to help us keep from falling, so I’d suggest buying a pair when you first start. Hope this helps...
Not to be rude but , I want to know what you think of the suspension, and motor , not about the rear brake placed , dose it bounce off the rocks , is it too stiff at lower speeds , did you have to turn your compression way out ?
Well I see why you are a fan of Tubliss, damn thats rocks rocks and some more rocks, I'm in NZ and where I ride is pretty much mud mud mud. Nice informative video as ever - keep it up!
I measure from the front of the pegs in the center to the center of the grips. Make each side the same and note it. For me, its around 36". I realize there are variables that affect this but bikes are so similar that i think it gives a similar cockpit size.
@@enduro-parts-aus What your not seeing is the other set of holes in the mount that only fit the lower position. You watch a video and want to tell me I am wrong. LMAO!
@@builtfordtough4499 I have to agree with you. If you draw a line from that small bolt below the sight window, you can clearly see the peg has lowered, but not moved forward.
Looks like reddington out here in Tucson I went on a hard Enduro trail it’s my rock and roll and chimney Rock videos I real enjoyed the ride and I didn’t make it up a couple hills just took everything out of me and my back. Thanks for my group Tucson dirt riders for there help to show me the trail but when I see this I thought of that great video can’t wait for my bike to come home lol keep up the great videos. Any chance of maybe getting a ramp for your boys and do a review bmx ramp it’s about 600 bucks though ? Lol
Listening to the latest pod about the sef300. You said that you wish other mfg would make a 300 4 stroke. Kawasaki has the new klx300r and I think Honda will be offering something too. I have the klx300r, for me so far it’s what I was looking for. I would like to see you review it
7 minutes 45 seconds of your front fender , put a green fender on a blue bike how would you know the difference , where's the side views or the drone views , you have to put in more than a front fender if you want my thumbs up .
Did I miss something here? Why a 250 X and not a 300? Bike sure seemed happy the way you road it,clutch was well done and bike is unfortunately considered a fat Kaw,I would just love a released Klx450r,never been short on power for sure but not street legal without mods. I would guess the 250 X would not be a steetable bike either. Cheers!!
@@tdel8613 Yeah it's a shame. But at least they're starting to do something. And even though it's a half ass attempt, these bikes really don't need much to be great off-road. The crf250rx and kx250x are still amazing off-road machines in the terrain they're designed for
So jealous of your riding areas.
Those 250's are the best kept secret in off-roading.
Got this bike in September, and so far I love everything about it.

Motocross riding on trails is hell hard as its stalls a lot on slow section. You told us that engine is same as the motocross version.
In the video, could you please occasionally mention what gear you are in? Hard to judge by speed and sound. For example, around 3 minute mark when you said lots of "clutch modulation" was that in 1st or 2nd gear??
Sounded like second gear. I ride that stuff high in the revs in 1st instead of clutching 2nd
I usually don't like the sound of 250 four strokes.. But this one sounds good.
I would love to see one of the new gas gas reviewed. 300 2 stroke!!🤠. Or is it just a red ktm?
Yep, that sounds like a Kawi! Love it!
Love your vids. Wish they were longer sometimes. Maybe do a long and short version of the same vid and see how views compare.
I love watching Fast Guys Slow Bikes for his long hare scramble vids.
He does some dope hare scramble videos and they are pretty interesting

I am planning on getting a sx 85 this year your boys have riden those bikes on the trails would you recommend them? (I will be riding track too)
I had a junk yz 85 and was about 180 pounds and it did trails fine
You talk about clutching a lot. Would like to see a split screen video of clutching along side a forward looking view.
Check out this video of a clutch split screen of Graham Jarvis going up a mountain they used in the Sea to Sky enduro race ruclips.net/video/En4pLTEUY70/видео.html .
Maybe you've gotten better over the years but you look very comfortable on the bike.
Would you say there's a refinement missing from the Kawa?
I noticed you mentioned "balance".
I'm 58, been out of riding for quite a few years and have noticed my balance is not like it was in my younger years (sucks getting old).
Do you or anyone else here have any good exercises for bettering your balance.

indo board / balance board

Just ride as much as possible.

He will cover those as well. He likes to ride them a bunch before he goes over those topics to make sure he gives a good review on it
Ok hope to see something soon. That would be great.
Well I see why you are a fan of Tubliss, damn thats rocks rocks and some more rocks, I'm in NZ and where I ride is pretty much mud mud mud.

What are the value adjustment intervals. Looks like a fun bike

Dam the view of that lake
Where is that? How does that kawasaki compare to the Yamaha 250fx?
Should be called a kxf 250x
Thought I missed kawi releasing a 2T again
kawi dropped the f from their 4st line up about a year or two ago since they stopped making 2st
That last trail was awesome. By the way, the pegs don't move forward, only down.
Yes they do down and forward
@@marynapier3962 NO they Don't! I have been running them lowered for years. You don't know what your talking about.
@@builtfordtough4499 you can clearly see in the photo at 5:00 they move forward to go down

Bike sounds like a beast
Why didn’t they name it KX250FX? I clicked in hopes for a 2-stroke.
7 minutes 45 seconds of your front fender , put a green fender on a blue
bike how would you know the difference , where's the side views or the drone views , you have to put in more than a front fender if you want my thumbs up .
Nice vids keep going
Why the engine 250 2021 its so loud?
I got the air pump off ur site , hopefully win a new 250xc !!!!!
Deciding between a 2021 kx250xc and a 2021 sherco 250 se factory
Sherco
Very nice.
Did I miss something here?
Why a 250 X and not a 300?
Bike sure seemed happy the way you road it,clutch was well done and bike is unfortunately considered a fat Kaw,I would just love a released Klx450r,never been short on power for sure but not street legal without mods.

Cheers!!
Nice bike like to see the 450 as well
Hoping you get the 2021ser250
To the 1% reading this god bless, stay safe and have a wonderful day (my dream is to become a famous dirtbike rider) Thanks ❤️❤️
Does this KX have a wide ratio transmission?
Nope, it's the stock motocross close ratio transmission. Same as the tank
@@reeveharper8424 meh no good. Sounds like it struggles in that Terrain.
Gotta love the half ass attempt from kawi and honda for these bikes :(

Not much on how the bike handles in the slower technical stuff....sure your comments will still come
