A leaner, meaner and greener lightweight dual-sport machine
The fun doesn’t have to stop at pavement boundaries when riding Kawasaki’s street legal KLX250. This lightweight dual-purpose motorcycle is equally at home on the pavement or off-road and always ready for your next adventure.
Its compact, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder 240cc engine displaces and employs convenient electric-starting. The KLX250’s engine is mounted beneath a lightweight, high-tensile steel perimeter frame to deliver a low center of gravity and enhanced maneuvering on tight trails.
A gear-driven engine balancer means reduced engine vibration for greater comfort and less fatigue on longer rides. The 34mm semi-flat slide Keihin CVK carburetor boosts throttle response and contributes to improved power. It also helps to provide increased fuel economy.
The rigors of off-road motorcycling dictate additional protection for the exposed underside of most machines. The KLX250 comes standard with aluminum engine guards to protect its crankcase during off road adventures. Negotiating tight terrain also highlights another off-road reality-heat. The incorporation of dual lightweight, high-capacity Denso radiators and a shallow-footprint cooling fan is an ample solution to potential heat issues.
Its straight-line stability is enhanced by the rigid square-section frame, yet thanks to its short wheelbase the KLX250 still has outstanding turning aptitude.
Riders seeking endure handling and modern engine performance in a dual-purpose motorcycle designed for effortless street riding will find it at their local Kawasaki dealership. The KLX250 offers serious capabilities in a fun, easy-to-ride package, regardless of where the adventure takes it.
