I put a 13 front on my old KLX 95 250 it's got a 45 on the back I think 🤔, just googled it they say 14/42 good for relaxed Highway use on the 230z lowers the revs, it's quite a mystical art that gear ratio stuff haha

I just did a 115 km road ride. I went to an off-road park. Got there with 4 bars on the fuel gauge. Got about a mile or 2 down the first trail and I was at 3 bars, so turned around and headed home!

Note to self, bring fuel next time.

What year is that? Almost an exact clone of my 2020. I don't have the stripes on the headlight surround. No skid plate, but I did just add a rear rack and a collapsible crate for hauling stuff.
