KLX 140L down to a KX 100

Dragondude:
Hey guys, Jake here. I have a 09 KLX 140L. The seat stands at 31in, I fit it perfect. It's a 4-stroke and doesn't have the power I want. I'm about 5'6 and weigh 130lbs. The KX 100 sits about 34in. In general, would this be a good upgrade? I'm looking to trade my KLX for one, just getting some opinions from more experienced 2-stroke and or kx 100 riders.

motopunk:
I would advise you to a KX125.  :wink:

I thought about that. From what I've seen, the KDX's don't have flat seats. As long as the rear of the seat isn't curving up like the 91 Kx then I would happy to get one and it's already a trail designed 2-stroke which is perfect for my propery. I also thought about doing the KX125 project and swap the engine for a KDX engine.

I bought my wife a KLX140l, she likes it for the electric start and the good power, granted it isn't a speed demon but a great little bike with good torque. I put KX100 forks ans shock on hers, not that it necessarily needed it. prior to that I had built a KDX/KX hybrid for her and I think if she spent time on it she would like it but for the few times she rides the KLX is probably fine. I think the KX100 isn't noticeably strionger than a 80 both are pipey, if your going to ride around your property the KLX might be a better choice, have you removed the air box lid and installed a pipe, they run pretty good if you do, of course you will have to jet up.
