2022 Kawasaki KLX300 Dual Sport | First Impressions 

7 hrs! Good to know I’m not the only crazy one! 🤣

@@MotoTherapy Nope!

I find the OEM seat starts becoming uncomfortable at about 45 minutes. Would you say the Seat Concepts seat extends this? Very subjective, I know.

Very possible--thanks for the insight!

Yes, that is exactly the case.

Yeah, they're actually better!

Thanks! I wish I knew about the DRC pegs before purchasing and installing the IMS pegs. I just went out and put my bike on a stand to measure my IMS pegs. The left peg is perfectly level. The right peg cants downward, away from the bike, about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. The difference between the two could be explained if my stand is not perfectly level, etc. Assuming that’s the case, then I’ll split the difference and say that each peg cants down/outward about 1/16”, which I can certainly live with. Shoot, I rarely stand perfectly flat on my pegs while riding off pavement, anyway. But that said, I’d have preferred a perfectly flat or inward cant over an outward one.

@@MotoTherapy yeah one other option is welding a small tack weld on the inside of the peg where it hits the peg mount to correct the angle but like you said its a small degree so shouldnt be noticable while riding.

You must have messed your bike up somehow, the IMS superstocks are literally perfect and have 0 downward angle.

@@RedboneUnincorporated no nothing wrong with my 22 klx 300. The stock and drc pegs fit fine and level. The ims i recieved did got did not fit correctly. You must have gotten lucky. It must be a common issue with the newer bikes. This is the email I got back from IMS. "Unfortunately, those 273113 Super Stock pegs that you have in your possession would be the only ones that we offered for the new KLX250S models, and I just recently heard of this same issue you mentioned below for the KLX300 models. We initially were told that those KLX300 bikes would be using the same peg mounts, and although the pegs could go on there without a problem, I’ve had a lot of feedback recently that they sit at angled down position on the outside edges. For this reason, IMS has removed the KLX300 listing from our website until we can figure out how to proceed with it. I have a good amount of riders out there who are still using these pegs as they’ve told me it wasn’t a “dealbreaker” for them, but because of the uneven platform, we have removed them from our listings. Let me know if you’ll be hanging onto those pegs or if you needed to have them returned." Thanks, IMS Products

@Chadventureee There is literally no difference between my 2021 and your 2022 according to Kawasaki, though I suppose there good be a slight difference of angle between your L version and my R version. Hope you are happy with the ones you ended up with, I hated the stock pegs bit love my IMS superstocks. Cheers.

I’m 5’9”, 224 lbs, and a 29” inseam. Legroom is good for me, rear suspension is a little soft, but tolerable with a few twists on the preload, front suspension is good for me. 😃

I just did. Great bike, nevertheless!
