I bought a 22 in 23. I’ve made a lot of the same upgrades. Pro Taper bars (after bending the stock hitting a tree 😂), Acerbis guards and pillow top grips. This winter it’s time for the Dynojet and pro circuit full exhaust.

I got the dual sport version. Any easy 2hp gain is by just removing the snorkel, all they do is redirect and dampen intake noise. If u are running a tuner, keep the lid off. Makes a difference. I like the growl. And replace the O ring chain with a MX chain. Its a lot lighter and 50% less friction. Both of those are good for around 1hp and u can feel both individually to justify it. These bikes are not as lean as the internet bro's will tell u. Iv ran tuners on my previous 2, and not on my '24. Spark plug wasnt any different from just removing the air snorkel, its carmel brown color like its suppose to be after 700 miles.

The issue with removing the snorkel on a trail bike is… the reason there is a snorkel. Water/dust intake without it.

@@tieoneon1614 I personally prefer my air intake to be facing towards the rear of the bike requiring me to be stationary or seat level submerged for multiple seconds for water to not only make it into the air box, but at a rate high enough to actually flood it. Do you have one of these bikes? Have you yourself looked at the airbox design? I ride mine often and have found myself in accidentally deeper than my seat water that has not made it into my airbox because… intake is facing the rear of the bike. Either way man, you do you!

I bought this bike a year ago and absolutely love it. I did most of the same mods as you did. A couple things inwould note: 1. For me, heavier spring absolutely made the bike more usable for me. I weigh 200 lbs, a smaller rider may be able to get away with stock springs with a similar riding style 2. delkevic makes decent slip on exhausts for this bike if your staying on a budget 3. And EJK is a must, honestly the first upgrade that should be done on this bike IMO. Getting rid of the lean mixture off the bat is better for the engine, and the power improvement is quite noticable 4. Remove the airbox lid for best power gains with the EJK. If you really want a snorkel, you can install the KDX snorkel for better air flow

They arent as lean as people like to think they are. Check your spark plug. I just put 700 miles on my '24 with the snorkel out. Plug is correct color. Iv ran tuners/exhaust on previous 2 KLX, plug never got darker than my '24. And agree with the air box, its the most restrictive part of this engine. Lid off, HiFlo filter, backfire screen cut out make a very big difference in low end torque. Im keeping my '24 quiet though, the snorkel out and lighter mx chain gave it enough boost in power to make me happy.

I have a '22 with the Delkevic slip-on, KDX snorkel and the EJK tuner. I was wondering if you could share some of your numbers and maybe a little explanation on using the tuner? By the time I put mine on i forgot most of the research I'd done on it so I just plugged it in and that's where its been. I also installed the 02 bypass. Thanks in advance.

@@deanteasdale6252 I purchased the EJK pre-programmed for stage 1 mods (intake and exhaust). Did you purchase the same one? If so you probably don't need to do any tweaking to the tune, the way they have it configured works pretty well. I didn't have to make any changes to mine

Haven't looked into the 2025 model but I heard a rumour that the '24+ don't have as good suspension as prior years. Still much better suspension than you get on the 230R. The stock muffler is about as quiet as they come. I don't think you'd be satisfied with a 230R, I wouldn't!

@@endurobandit we will see. Im going to go ride the 300 and the 230 to see how I like them. I already have 3 other bikes a 300 2stroke a 144 2stroke and a 250f so I don’t need too much performance. Just need a bike to put around on with my young kids or take hunting. I think the 300 Klx looks great on paper but I want to see how mild of a bike it is or how slow it can put without being temperamental
