The KLX®250 dual-purpose motorcycle is built to take riders to new places. Borrowing notes from the KX™ line and Kawasaki’s racing heritage, this street legal, dual purpose motorcycle is designed to cut through the busy traffic of an inner city or climb up a back trail to see the city from a more beautiful view.

Low seat height
Comfortable ergonomics
Sharp, aggressive KX™-inspired bodywork

Features

Ultra-Compact Liquid-Cooled Engine
•Catalyzer and secondary air system help reduce exhaust emissions so that the KLX®250 meets strict California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations and can be sold in California.
•High-capacity Denso radiators come from the KX™ line and deliver superior cooling efficiency. Their slim profile and tightly packed cores make the radiators smaller and lighter, while the special fin design provides excellent heat dispersion.
•Flat top piston with pentroof combustion chamber delivers 11.0:1 compression ratio.
•Lightweight piston, piston pin and connecting rod allow power-producing revs without excessive vibration.

Electric Starter
•Electric starter and the Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release (KACR)(KP), which automatically lifts an exhaust valve at cranking rpm, makes starting the KLX250 easy.

Electrofusion Cylinder(KP)
•The incredibly hard coating in the aluminum cylinder bore means superior heat transfer with less weight.
•It holds lubrication well, resists abrasion and seizure, and allows tight piston-to-cylinder clearances for more horsepower.

Digital Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI)(KP)
•Digital ECU precisely controls timing, no matter how fast the RPM changes.
•Easy starts and reliability under extreme conditions. High Tensile Steel Perimeter Frame(KP)
•The frame is built up of box-section and tubular high-tensile steel.
•The 26.5° steering head angle and 56.3 inch wheelbase contribute to quick handling.
•The incredible frame rigidity contributes to excellent straight line ability.

ENGINE
FRAME

43mm Inverted Cartridge Fork(KP)
•16-way compression damping adjustment.
•Cartridge maintains more consistent damping force by minimizing aeration of the fork oil. Uni-Trak® Rear Suspension(KP)
•Lightweight, highly-rigid aluminum D-section swingarm helps reduce unsprung weight.
•Rear suspension linkage and damping settings provide a firm ride and a more planted feel in corners.
•The nitrogen-filled, aluminum body, remote reservoir rear shock has 16-way compression and rebound damping adjustment and threaded spring pre-load.
•Temperature compensating rebound damping keeps things under control even when the shock heats up under strenuous conditions.

Front and Rear Disc Brakes
•Petal brake discs help reduce weight and the wave pattern helps to clean the brake pads for better brake performance.
•Twin piston front caliper grasps a 250mm floating front disc for incredible stopping power.
•Single piston rear caliper and a 240mm disc to give strong, reliable performance.
•Tires designed for long life and grip on paved roads.
•All-digital instrument panel features bar-graph tachometer, digital speedometer, clock and trip meters.
•Narrow fuel tank contributes to the comfortable riding position and has a lockable, hinged one-touch cap.

U.S. Forest Service-Approved Spark Arrester
•U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrester allows access to designated public riding areas and helps prevent wildfires.
