So I'm looking at getting a klx300, just wondering if anyone can tell me how often the pistons should be done on these?
I know most 250 mx bikes should be done around 90 hours or so, but as this is a trail bike like the crf 230's I'm thinking the pistons probably don't need to be done to often, is this right?
Cheers guys.

these engines are not as highly strunge as the modern high reving MX bikes...
How often does the piston/rings need changing in one these bikes...is not a question worth worring about...everything is built to last!!
BTW...they are great bikes!! I rate the KLX300's highly!!

Have you considerd a KTM300EXC?
<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
to be honest i was thinking about a KLX 300 too, had a ride on both the KLX and the KTM and i thought the KTM was light years ahead, in terms of handling and the awesome torque delivery, and the reliability. i also liked the thought of getting 120 hours out of a top end. for some reason ive never really been a fan of Kawasaki's so maybe im just biased.

told ya so
make sure that it starts easily when its hot or after being dropped. we bought one new and sold it after 2 months cuz we just couldnt get it to start properly. after 2 trips to the shop it was still the same. maybe we got a dud, there seems to be lots of them around. just something to look out for
we may just go where no ones been

thought you were talking about a honda ther. sounds just like my bike
told ya so
maybe its just four strokes in general? or cuz your just used to the CR250 starting first go after anything.
but this klx was like 5 minutes every time it was stalled dropped or any time it needed to be started hot

Well, no I haven't considered the ktm 300 exc, I'm not fond of two strokes, I think they sound a bit cabbage :P
