Hi ducatijim,
Im interested in getting a few more ponies out of my 09 KLX 250 and am looking at getting a Dynojet kit from the states and getting a header and muffler from cycleworks in Levin.

What Mods have you done to yours and where did you source the parts?

Also have you drilled out the crankcase breather?
I have read a bit about it but not sure whether the gains are worth the potential risk if you end up upside down for a period of time.

That will be me Pete! Don't ever buy part's in NZ, they are a FEK'N rip off, I've had S3's for 12 yrs and bought my parts from all over the world and saved $1000's just do an internet search on the Items you want. the best way is to join a Triumph forum as you will get to know legitimate dealer's from all over plus you get in on various group buy's

This weeks ride was an overnighter to Raetihi. The main push for this destination came from the Dirt Trackers who wanted to sample the Whanganui River road, but of course a road option was also required, so that meant I had to come up with some circuitous route to get us there and with Raetihi not really being on the radar as far as destinations go, I felt we needed to get there via ‘The Road Less Travelled’.

I had the 90K service done on the bike during the week, did a bit of planning ...

Well I did my full licence test back in Feb, first thing in the morning out at Westgate. It was a great sunny day, and the test went sweet.

So after work on that day, my girls wanted a ride with me, so that worked out well.

Now a couple of months later, and I have sold the 250 Ninja, and now own a 2009 NInja 650r, which I am really loving.

Also at the same time got my wife (Melissa) a Yamaha v-star 250 (2009). So we are both going to be able to go out ...

Incident One.
Let’s make something clear. I was not sure I wanted this bike. At first I approached our relationship with rather a lot of trepidation, and a good dollop of mistrust. Losing 150cc from my last bike and 550cc from ...
