How good is it really? A guy in my club has traded his KDX200 he's had for almost 20 years in on a KLX400. Now that is brand loyalty. I mean really, Its just a DRZ. ;-)
How many people have been moved from a brand by the latest bike? I know that I went from dedicated Honda fan to a WR250F just because Honda have nothing to compete with it yet.
klx 400
I have just purchased a klx 400 after having 3 xr 400s which were great bikes. I think the big Kwaca is getting better all the time ,I have done the suspension and pipe and it feels awsome to ride. Heaps of power and the suspension can just about take anything I throw at it.
It out handles the honda,s in the tight stuff hands down. even on par with KTM 200 .
I've just purchased a new '03
I've just purchased a new '03 KLX 400 too. What did you do to the suspension and pipe? Some time ago I rode RM250's, but this bike tears'em up. The small three and four foot jumps I take feel firm on the landing and there is no head shake like the Suzuki's.
KLX 400 R Kicks A$$
I'll have to hand it to kawasaki. This new bike has to be one of the best bikes they've built in a long time. I've rode honda WR's for a long time and when I had the opportunity to ride this klx my expectations were low. Could not believe the torque, power, and stababilty this bike had. I liked it so much I just had to buy it! AWSOME BIKE!!

I would like to have a taller 5th gear in my transmission. Has anyone here done this, or advise on how to accomplish it? Thanks.
