2022 KLX 230....the good and bad - ThumperTalk
Dec 16, 2021 · Even at 293# wet, the 2020 klx230 that I recently sold felt like a pit bike compared to my 317# drz400. The tighter and smoother the terrain, be it dirt or pavement, the more fun the klx230 is. Because of the low seat height and shorter wheelbase, It has good power for what it is, and feels easier to control and more nimble than a typical ...
KLX230 Mods & Accessories - KLR/KLX 125/140/230/250/300
Posted March 22, 2021. Added the Bajaworx windshield to the KLX 230 last weekend. Not made for it but fits well. Pushes wind around your shoulders and up to the helmet. Going to add a few spacers to the top mounting screws to add a bit of angle hoping to push the air up and over.
KLX230 (and maybe 230R) Stiffer Fork Spring Option - ThumperTalk
Jul 1, 2021 · I was motivated to do some research after following KLXHooligan's KLX230 Dual Sport vs CRF230F thread comparing their front suspensions. I found that both the klx230 and crf230f fork springs are 30mm in outside diameter. The stock crf spring rate is listed as progressive .32 to .50 kg/mm. The aftermarket Eibach springs for the crf230f are rated ...

KLX 230 or KLX 300 - What Motorcycle Should I Buy? - ThumperTalk
Dec 23, 2021 · Last Reply 1 yr. Yes, it would be reasonable to say the KLX 230 would be something like the TW. The 300 probably wouldn't be noticeably better on the smaller slower stuff, but will cope much better with the bigg. The KLX300 dual sport is lower than the off road version. Its the same as the 09+ KLX250.
Best Tire and Size for 2021 Kawasaki klx 230 - ThumperTalk
Posted May 6, 2021. The KLX230R off road model runs 80/100-21 front and 100/100-18 rear knobbies. Some riders choose a wider rear tire supposedly for more traction, but the 100/100-18 stock rear will work fine for the KLX230, IMO. I also feel going to an extremely wider tire than stock negatively affects handling, both on and off road.
KLX230 - Improving power? - KLR/KLX 125/140/230/250/300
Dec 18, 2023 · The KLX230 has a very simple 4 stroke air cooled 2 valve motor with screw and lock nut valve lash adjusters. There isn't much performance to be gained with this motor. I purchased my KLX230R because it is so simple and easy for me to maintain. Not sure adding a power commander and race exhaust would do much more than add a HP or two with a lot ...
How do you lower the front forks (KLX 230R) - ThumperTalk
Aug 14, 2021 · kdxyardsale nailed it. When you adjust the fork height, either do one leg at a time, or be sure the bike is on a stand with the front tire barely touching the floor and a block under the back tire. If you loosen both sides at once while just on the sidestand, both fork tubes will slide and collapse the front end.
KLX230R Modifications - KLR/KLX 125/140/230/250/300
Dec 3, 2019 · Forks have tabs for speedo magnet and some road legal stuff (shared with KLX230). I'm think about grinding those off. Need to find touch up paint. Waiting for the gold valves. If you go up even an inch on the bars, you'll need cables. KLX300 throttle cables work. Couldn't find a longer clutch cable. I used a torque reduction box to gain length.
