Since the introduction of the Kawasaki KLX140, it has been one of the most popular dirt bikes for youth and shorter riders, as well as a great platform for adult pit bikes. This bike is a great choice for riders looking to transition to their first full size dirt bike, the KLX140 features a fully manual transmission and is offered in 3 difference wheel sizes/seat heights to accommodate a variety of riders. Take a closer look at this video as Chase goes over the history of how the KLX140 came to be, the sizing of who would best fit this bike, and some of the parts we added to our KLX to get the most out of it.

KLX140s are great bikes to mod up as well for a play bike or performance oriented youth bike. My son and I built ours up for him to ride single track. We swapped the suspension out with revalved kx85 forks and shock, added a BBR big bore kit along with their cam and CDI. Add in a larger carb and exhaust to let the motor breathe and this bike can rip. It can lug really low and has good top end.

I’ve got a few videos uploaded on my channel of my kid riding it for those interested. Great bike!

Just picked up a 2020 KLX140G for my son. He's 5' 2" ish and fits perfect on it. This was hands down the best bike decision I could've made for him.

Late to the party but I picked up my 2021 KLX140L today as a smaller option to the 05 KX250F I already have and I find it absolutely incredible. Its such a peppy little bike, it really shocked me with the power it has.

I just got a klx 140 and I’m super hyped 😁

[semojay]

The new KLX 140 is much larger but still a small bike. I bought my wife a 2023 and she loves it. She's 5'9" tall and still on tip toes to touch the ground at 135 lbs. When she drops it the light weight of just over 200 lbs is easy for her to pick up as well.

Great, well put together video. Very informative! Thank you!

This is a great first bike. Clutch is very easy, and it’s pretty powerful for what it is. Only problem I have with it is it’s very proplematic without a cold start kit. Can’t even start it at 60F without long waits. Usually just rev it as I turn it on and it works nicely.

I have a ttr125e with a bbr 150 big bore and a procircuit pipe. I wonder how it would stack up. I like a lot about this bike other than the fact there no kickstart

Flick back levers, best investment for a parent .

[pitgroove._]

There are two things that I want to mention regarding this kid's dirt bike series:

1: I don't get why you guys are not advertising fold back/ASV style brake and clutch levers throughout this series, but from my point of view, it's going to become an absolute hassle replacing levers every time the rider falls and breaks a lever.

2: I absolutely do not recommend getting a billet aluminum gas cap. I think that's the worst investment you can make for a bike, because with time it'll start chewing up the threads on the tank itself. On my bike, I actually had that happen to me twice, and the first time I actually had to replace the entire tank. All you dirt bike and mini bike enthusiasts out there, if I was you I would stick with the plastic cap and sacrifice that bling factor.

I modded mine to suit me being 22 years old 😂 fun bike!

[alexpaulgaard]

Can you do a guide to the 2020 crf125fb Please🙏🙏🙏

[aeror]

Cheers

Try norifumi exausht from Indonesia 0r also over racing japan amazing exaushts

[larsonbeez_]

You guys should try and do kx85 or any 85 2 stroke

[evankeil]

I had one it was very reliable but the suspension was a little soft so if you are on the heavier side I’d recommend a fork swap with as kx85

[syth]

The biggest problem with buying a bike for a teen boy is how fast they grow. My son is almost 13yo, 5'6" and growing at a rapid rate. He has only been riding for 18 months and is way too big for his TTR90. I think a 125 4stroke is the best next step but feel like he will outgrow it soon, I want something that will last him a few years.

Just picked up a 2020 klx 140L. It came with a FMF Power Core 4 pipe (uninstalled). Would you recommend the Rocky Mountain cold start jet kit for this pipe?

[bzibozzani]

it would be cool if you guys made an informative video on the kx 100 . would love to hear you guys input on it.
