2022 KLX230R (my review)

[@ronwest7930]

I notice a trend in YT videos about people wanting to stiffen suspension. Remember if the suspension doesn't bottom on occasion then you are just riding around with less suspension travel. It's different if you are a pro or jump off large jumps all the time. Also, many videos show people sitting down a lot, stand up when it gets bumpy, and your legs help with absorbing what you are riding over. A better attack stance for terrain also. I think the 230 is perfectly fine for most people, with the suspension set up for their weight. In the old days, we added/made a spacer on top of the fork springs(a half-inch to an inch) and used ATF oil. I would like to buy the enduro version, thats why I watched this.

Look up Bruces Suspension, hes in NC. He has a solution for those soft front forks! I have the same bike for 2 years now, no mods except a headlight and hand guards and foldable levers. I'm about to get a larger rear sprocket. But yeah Bruce has a solution I'm about to do it to.

God....im so torn between this & the crf250f....im 6'2" 215lbs.

What did you land on 😅 trying to make the same decision

[@ryanmillsap8645]

@@mavvie I went with the Honda. Love it. Only thing i felt it needed was a 1" lift which I did only because I have 34" inseam. The KLX felt perfect sitting on it...but I got the Honda a little cheaper.

@@ryanmillsap8645 nice, congrats! Seems like you can't really go wrong with either, mechanically anyways. I'm about 5'11" and the same weight, so I guess I have to just keep an eye out for the right deal (on either)

[@ryanmillsap8645]

@@mavvie yeah...either one would be the right one.

I’ll let you know about the front suspension gonna see if the triples and front forks work from a 2007 klx250r or from a 22 klx300r

[@Nitehacks]

Do you know what thumb throttle fit on KTM300 2019?

Did they?

[@danielp4507]

Just found your channel. Im looking for a thumb throttle. Who's would you suggest? Thank you.

[@thumbgas888]

I use Honda thumbthrottle from any of the EX models, the cable is from MotionPro, but you need to measure the length and make sure that you purchase a cable for fuel injected ATV, you could use the cable from Can Am outlander 570 also!!, good luck and don't forget to subscribe 👍🏽

[@danielp4507]

@thumbgas888 I just pick up a 2023 crf250f. Do I need the push/pull cables that are stock, or can I get away with 1?

[@thumbgas888]

@danielp4507 you can use just 1 cable, the spring is strong enough to close the throttle body.

Yeah I’m in California/ Bay Area and the red sticker & green sticker rule some BS 👎🏽 we have a lot of wild fires out so that’s they way of keeping everybody safe 😂
