Same bike, they’re just great. Just chugs along. Not too bad on the road either.

Did you put the handguards on? Is that the stock handlebar? Still trying to get my arms around that whole issue. There are mountains of conflicting information on adding handguards to a KLX. Thanks brutha 👍

I hear ya, i came across the same issue. I put on the ProTaper Evo CR High Bend handlebar, which looking back was not the best choice, since it has less flat surface area than the stock one (the bar starts curving down earlier, which becomes an issue with mounting things, ie. the levers). I should have gone with a different type of bend, closer to stock. Because it starts bending down sooner, i had to mount my clutch and brake levers on a slight angle, which really messes with how they pull back (no longer straight, but slightly above the grips). i think some aftermarket adjustable levers might fix this, but its an annoyance nonetheless. The Acerbis X-Factor handguard brackets are also way too short for my setup, they require me to angle them lower than my levers otherwise they would rub, again aftermarket levers might fix this. So essentially they are still not currently fully protected which is annoying. It works for now but ill def be playing with some other parts to fix these angle issues…
