First experience of an dual sport/off road dirt bike. Coming from a decade of super bikes and nothing else, this thing makes me happy in ways they can't.
4500~ ish KMs bought late summer 2025.
Had a fullstand ECU but I don't think it was correct for a 2025 KLX230s. Popped like crazy and wouldn't "tune". Swapped back to oem and haven't looked back.
Larger intake , full triton pipe, pair delete, o2 block off, renthal bars, domino grips, barkbusters, ebay levers (cut down), hi volt shift saver (big difference in shift quality and finding nuetral), folding extended gear lever that fits a size 11 boot way easier, tail tidy, alu chain guide and hi volt skid plate (much needed lol), oem sherpa seat and a kdx80 or 125 front fender.
Fun ass bike. It's a little soft in OE trim for bigger guys. I knocked the rear shock down a few turns but It's not enough, suspension will be upgraded eventually.
I have a 2023 klx230s. Currently modded for trail riding.
48t rear sprocket
120 chain
Irc tr8 tires
Plus extra goodies such as levers, handguards, hivolt titanium exhaust, and more.
I want to have an extra set of rims/tires for street riding around town, mostly local/county roads with an occasional highway stint for a few miles. My thoughts are to keep the same rim sizes for simplicity, get some 90/10 tires and drop the sprocket back to either 45t or 43/42t so long as the 120 chain can accommodate it. I still have some room to move the rear axle back. Basically a simple trail to sumo swap and vice versa without major work, just swap rims, adjust chain tension, ride away.
advice or recommendations are appreciated. Thanks
