I agree with Russ. A 300 is a fantastic bike.
Doing more research on the big bore kit there are no complaints about reliability issues. The only complaint that I have find to be common is after the big bore kit you are still on a low tuned 351 cc and making 29 hp and 21 pounds of torque. These numbers are pretty low for that cc range, just slightly over a stock wr250, but with a low tuned motor people still pull 50k+ miles on the 351 motors and you have a very forgiving power band that works great for the street and dirt.

Wow I can't believe how low those power numbers are. I don't think I would spend any money on something that weak.
I agree, but it is a fun bike to ride. If I dont sell it a big bore kit is my cheapest option for better power.

I have a really really clean KDX220 2 stroke with maybe 400 miles on it. It has the same style suspension you probably have but it will run circles around your 300. I could be convinced to sell. 
Still has has the original tires on it

I'm a big fan of the KDXes

The suspension on a KDX is about as sweet and soft as a marshmallow.

I vote:
- Keep the KLX and install the 351 kit. Great bike for all those dual sport adventures just waiting to be had.
- Pick up a used 2 stroke like the KDX or KTM 200-300. Great single track/woods/desert weapon..

I'm looking forward to this. Be sure to take pics.

Should be cool! Stock cams and vales?
I have been looking but haven't found any solid information on these.
