Bill Blue has a 330cc big bore kit for just under $500 and is working on a 350cc kit, you can check it out here:

I got the Mikuni pumper carb from him and it's very nicely modified to fit the KLX250.

Thanks for the post, GB. To be honest, I wanted to do that, but I was afraid I'd be afoul of a "RULZ" if I did.

Sleeves and gaskets for the first 4 engines are here, order for the pistons is in this week. First 3 engines will be for testing, then I believe Bill's plan is to intially have 24 conversions available.

To answer one question I've seen, this big bore kit requires no mods to the cases. Your cylinder sent in, sleeved by Bill, then you get it back with the rest of the stuff, to do in your garage. We should be able to have jetting recommendations available, since there will be 3 test bikes.

Stole this info from another board

The IMS Pro-Series foot pegs model number 293113-4 fit the 2009 perfectly and are WONDERFUL!!! Their chart only goes up to 2006.

I postponed the purchase of the '09 KLX. Instead, my wife put in new kitchen countertops. $5,500. What a waste.

However, I am rewarding myself for my magnanimity. I'm buying a Russell saddle for my 1200GS.

TomN · 12-09-2008, 06:58 PM

Aww too bad, well if you want to bring the GS out for a sand ride let me know.

Put my new bars and barkbusters on, I am ready to ride!

Ooo took the 09 KLX out Sunday for a ride in the NJ sand, can't beleive how much more fun it is to ride off-road than my old KLR. I was riding faster and not even thinking about it, a lot more fun and a lot less stress!

Mine is very hard to start in the cold too, putting my hand over the exhaust helps.

I got new bars so the barkbusters would go on easier.

I also got a Spitfire windshield for xmas, very nice on the road. Easy to put on too!

Have a '07 which is also hard to start in the cold. Read on the other KLR thread about rocking the bike back and forth while cranking it. Has seemed to make a difference.

I tried that on Sun but did not help

Having done about 4 years worth of dirt riding on the KLR650, the KLX by comparison is so much more fun..

NJ-GS · 04-10-2009, 12:54 PM

Got the green light from the CFO (wife) to purchase a new, '09, KLX250S.

I'd rather not pay the $4,999 sticker. What's a reasonable price to pay in US$?

I have been doing off-roading on my XChallenge and TE450 which are great bikes! But I just added the 09 KLX250S to my stable, and what a pleasure!!! Being able to ride slowly, smooth, it's just really fun! Reminded me of my old CT70 I used to have. What a great bike!

Now I can put both feet flat on the ground!!!
