2024 Kawasaki KLX300 Ride Review | First Ride Impressions

[@Mjr1348]

I have the same bike and love it. I’m 62 and still crankin it !

[@PastorMattMoto]

These KLX's are a lot more fun than the spec sheet would suggest, they are nimble machines aren't they! I've really been having a blast on dual sports and supermotos at the end of this season :). Check out the new supermoto shootout we just put out if you have a minute - I'll put the link in the next message for you :)

Loving the Tomah Area Powersports vids! A SuMo of that machine would be a blast!

[@PastorMattMoto]

Thanks! I'll be shooting some more with them later this week hopefully :). Next up should be the Eliminator cruisers and the vulcan S!

I love my 2023 black camo it’s a tuff little bike that unfortunately I have crashed a few times on it. But thankfully it was easy to fix and actually did some upgrades along the way.

Thanks for checking out the video :). It's incredible how light and tough these machines are, isn't it?

I love my klx300r maybe not the same but similar

[@PastorMattMoto]

I would love to try a Klx300 with Sumo tires as well, I bet it would be excellent!

So no break in? I’m not sure you should’ve been above 4000 rpm 😮

I asked the dealership about this as well, and they said don't worry about it. From what I've read and seen, the best way to break in an engine is with varied throttle inputs for the first few hundred miles, of course not sitting at redline for extended periods of time, but that's not really good for any engine. For example, freeway riding isn't the best way to break in an engine, due to droning at the same engine speed for extended periods of time. These engines are tested before shipping, and are redlined before they even show up on the showroom floor as well.
