Hey Boys, link some of your rigs on here; feeling in the mood for some slick lookin' bikes & i'm sure you's got some - My baby's attached here too.

2018 KX-250F, stock - literally show-room floor stock; not too bad & for 18' they shaved a load of weight off these bikes so they're lighter then a feathered joint!

Really thinkin' bout looking into the RMZ/CRF market - I don't know though, i'll probably be KX Kid all my life boys; anyway let's see em!

Sweet baby Jesus, nice looking bike bud; how much ya pick it up for? i'll tell you something about these KX's man, it's either I got a lemon or the lads at the shop who we bought it off are trying to goddamn kill me lol - bout a month ago i'm making a left hand turn to go up my road & next thing you know "SNAP" I look back and my chains fckin (can you swear on forums?) hangin off, I shift down and then notice, my god my shift lever is about as shredded as I was! Stopped the bike & looked under my skid-plate, OIL LEAKIN... oh no.

Wasn't goin anywhere fast so I pushed the thing up the road, pissed as hell because to be realistic here, I had just bought the bike 6 months ago & pretty near every-time I went for a rip on it something would be broken... got home, put the kickstand on (only thing that hasn't broken from them dicks at the shop) and looked at it, my lever was in-deed SHREDDED up and big time too.
It was bent to the right so it was touching my engine casing, not good; my chain was a mess & the chain guard was even snapped clean in two! - it was in the shop for 4 weeks before I got it out for a nice little price of $500, funniest thing is we didn't even receive the fkn receipt or nothing to identify WHAT they had touched & "fixed"

Last time I was on it, was out for 10 minutes and headed home; I shifted the goddamn bike the whole time not even noticing the oil leaking profusely & that the lever it self, was actually wobbling around enabling the oil to fly from right underneath it (never did get to check my seals or O-Ring) none the less, I messed around with the lever itself to see what was causing it; went for a upshift and BAM, the oil just fired outta the bottom of the seal! went NOPE & got a bucket just in-case any oil was still going... And it's a 2018 - Hope you don't have as many problems with your rig bud!

Sorry about the long post - just figured i'd liven up for a while since I usually don't even use forums; Thanks btw GDub, I subbed a few days ago man; what's up with the lack of MXBikes footage on YouTube? anybody I have seen post footage had training wheels on their bike lol

nice bikes guys!

@Braapsta969

Really man?
i´d throw the bike over their heads if something like that happened, my 2008 crf 250 wont have any issues with a little bit of maintenance, that sucks for a 2018 bike  :'(


Braapsta969

yessir nothin but problems with my 18' - they dropped the 19' and their like the same damn bike except for a few odds n' ends here n' there.

I'm stuck with payments on the bike because my current dealership won't allow for me to trade it in for nothin! Get this bud, there was a 2014 Yamaha Grizzly & I was eyeballin' it while bringin the bike into the shop - after it was all said n done i'd of ended up paying about $25000 by the time i'm done with the financing and everything... I near shat my pants.

I'm pretty sure I got a lemon or something, 2018's shouldn't have problems like this - hasn't seen the track either lads, magine that - a bike made for tracks and it's conkin out on trails.

mate, seriously this is not normal. the bike should have dealers warranty. id contact Kawasaki direct or message this guy and he will do his best to help you out Kris Keefer at KeeferINC testing. He's a great guy and has many contacts which can probably help you out.  https://www.keeferinctesting.com/contact/

Alright, i'll see what can be done here Dub, on the rear fender of the bike it said "this bike cannot be warranted" now the dealers warranty i'm not sure about; everytime it's hit the shop I or my father has had to pay for it to get out... which is about 4 times here now so there's gotta be over a grand already in the damn thing! They haven't warranted anything on it Dub.

So my question is, am I getting fcked around with by this dealership? I can tell ya' the name of the place n' everything man - it's currently in there right now & has been for about 4 weeks!

Are you kidding me?
The bike is fucking new, i´d really  either call kawasaki directly or the competent Us organization for business and stablish a formal issue, i mean, they cant ask you to pay for repairs on a brand new bike, it´s a manufacturer or ensambling issue, they gotta fix it and for free  >:(

i worked on a kawasaki dealer, the bikes had a minimum of 3 months guarantee under any malfunction or issue (of course if it was a manufacturer problem), dont let them stomp on you, go get them to fix your goddamn bike and for free, come on, those issues have nothing to do with user error.

Saw your YT vid on it G-Dub, things a weapon! yeah, i'm under a dealership called "GnG" you can look it up if you's want - they've fucked me around for a while now & even when I approached to ask about free repairs they'd just say we don't warrant race bikes - they just took my side casings off and are putting in a "bearing" this is a 4 week job and they just got it off, quite pissed
