[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1360695, member: 18302"] Another problem with a two stroke dual sport is that is does make more smoke than other bikes. Some people (even other dual sport riders) will think you must be breaking some sort of law, and occaisionally they will approach you. All but a few will back down when you explain the law treats your bike the same as if you were on an XR, but some people like to argue. Also, on my KDX250, when trying to sustain a cruising speed, the power valve would 'hunt'. Basically, even though the throttle was steady, the powervalve would start to open and the bike would begin to speed up. When no more throttle was given, it would slow down. Repeat cycle every second or so. It's not a problems when you are accellerating or de-cellerating, but it got annoying on long stretches of road. Essentially, the more paved road and the higher speed of travel, the less suitable the KDX is. For 95% dirt/5% pavement, it's a reasonable choice. For 50% dirt/50% street, I'd look to something like a dualsported dirt version of a DRZ400. For 10% dirt/90% street, I'd want a big bore four stroke that was street legal from the factory. [/QUOTE]
