Thnx STM you don’t miss a thing lol.

Try any bike shop close by that deals with Acerbis BUT don’t do what i did and go away from our sponsers here. I should have called sutto’s or mud and tar.

Good advice Corey

The tank doesn’t look that much bigger from the pictures. When it’s on the bike I mean. Do you notice the difference when full of fuel?

Nah unless i’m really goin at it hard through the bush you never notice the weight but what you do notice is the no weight from the 5lt fuel bottle in my back pack bouncing around

Hey Aarochild
I went with the Acerbis tank so i didn’t need to put the kx shrouds on and its a 12.5lt where the IMS tank is only 11.7lt and need to buy the kx shrouds but they did nothing for me.

And as for your wish list please explain what benafits you get from a lighter fly wheel and the KX intake

Gyday Corey, just a word of advice, I would remove or relocate the horn from behind the radiator and while your at it wrap your fuel tap (or relocate if you can) with some foam rubber. I have seen a few KLX radiators get centre punched by the fuel tap,very exspensive if you know what I mean

A Radiator back to frame brace like a works connection one would be even better

There is even more protection of the whole radiator and the tap will still be easy to use. Just a thought

Yep that would do it Pretty poor design though from Kawasaki every thing else is on the money.
