    I’m down the south Coast NSW, better known as gods country, am going to bribie camping on boxing day for 2 weeks – we couldn’t get onto moreton this year. No bikes unfortunately
    Will be glad for the break though

    Looks Nice Hatto, I had mine to the level I wanted it, I had to decide wether to spend money on the suspension or not, I decided not to and got a WR250, loved the KLX but these things happen. Hows the .44 springs working for you.

    Cheers
    Chris.

    changing the springs made a huge difference to it’s handling, they are so smooth to ride

    Hi Guys
    I have a modded 300 / 02 and what it is now is nothing like the original
    List of mods
    02 klx300
    Staintune Header
    Std Muffler, but plug removed
    No air box lid
    34 mikuni pumper 45 and 142.5 jets a/f 1 3/4 turns
    Crank case breather
    Tag fatBars
    Barkbusters
    Uni filter
    Peg extenders
    .44 racetech fork springs
    13 tooth counter sprocket
    kx fork protectors
    kx throttle
    IMO the best bang for your buck is the pumper carb, I tried the dynajet kit first but the pumper is way better – hands down

    That’s one sweet sounding ride (for a green machine :P ) Was looking forward to watching Chris’s 300 grow and developing but he showed his true colors and jumped ship lol

    Thanks again all for making me feel welcome
    I’ve been having a look around the site and catching up on things – I think i’m going to have good times on here
    Problem is I havn’t done much work today because of all of you, so my boss will kick my arse – oh wait I am the boss so no arse kicking to be done (one of the perks I spose)

    A friend (with a welder) and I pulled the end off the zorst to see if there were any quick weight savings to be made or if we could open it out. It turned out to be a maze of chambers and pipes so we drilled a few holes and put the end back on. I put the airbox lid somewhere safe and took it to Dynotime. Rejetted, it came back with 22HP to its name. I’d asked them about fitting a Staintune header pipe but he reckoned it wouldn’t shift enough fumes to keep the gas velocity up in the bigger diameter…
    The roofrack came off the back and smaller indicators went on. Up front I’ve had three or four sets of those brittle fork protectors – anyone know of decent polypropylene ones? The steel bars succumbed to a novel way I found of getting down a rocky, rutted hill, so there’s some alloy there. The mirrors are gone; a tiny foldaway one keeps it legal and doesn’t snag on the wing mirrors of the Toorak Tractors down Hoddle St. Ancient Barkbuster were donated by my old XT250; no plastic for ones that old so I butchered slots in the ones that came with the bike. Fork air pressure valves were a snug fit but went on fine.
    The Acerbis headlight is waiting for a new clock to sit behind it. I think a 300 kit needs to be secured before the supplies dry up – with the price of new 250s…

    Do this – got to let it breathe

    yr2000 kx250 wil fit with an extra hole needed

    A blonde is showing off her new tattoo of a giant seashell on her inner thigh. Her friends ask her why she would get such a tattoo and in that location.

    She responds ‘It’s really cool. If you put your ear up against it, you can smell the ocean.’
