2022 Kawasaki KX 250X

Chassis Management Technology

• ERGO-FIT®: Proper fit is key for rider comfort and control. However, the ideal fit varies from rider to rider, depending on their physical dimensions and riding style. ERGO-FIT® is an interface system designed to allow riders to find their ideal riding position. Various points of the chassis interface (the handlebar, footpegs and seat, etc.) can be adjusted through a combination of interchangeable parts and parts with adjustable positions. This enables a wide range of riders to find a riding position that offers both comfort and control. Feeling at one with their machine, they will be able to experience how Kawasaki machines are fun and rewarding to ride. *Adjustable parts and their range of adjustability vary by model.

Cross-Country Capability

• TAKE ON TOUGH TRAILS: The KX™250X motorcycle is built to meet the tough demands of cross-country racing. Cross-country wheels (F21"/R18") are paired with soft-to-intermediate terrain Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires. A factory-style skid plate and a convenient side stand both come as standard equipment.

Engine Management Technology

• DUAL INJECTORS: The Kawasaki KX™️250F was the first mass-production motocross bike to feature Dual Injectors. One injector is located downstream of the throttle valve, where injectors are located on standard FI systems, and a second is located upstream of the throttle valve, close to the airbox. The two injectors split their roles: operating at different rpm ranges, they ensure both smooth, instant response at low-rpm and high peak power at high-rpm. For cases that call for low-rpm operation like instantaneous acceleration off the start and precise control when cornering, primary operation falls to the downstream injector. Because it is positioned close to the combustion chamber, sprayed fuel can be supplied to the engine quickly, resulting in sharp response. Conversely, when high power is the priority, primary operation switches to the upstream injector, which focuses on high-rpm applications. Its location farther away from the combustion chamber means that the fuel has a longer travel time. This allows more time for the fuel particles and air to mix, as well as allowing the mixture to cool and condense. This means that when more power is needed, the cylinder can be filled with a greater quantity of high-quality mixture.
• KLCM (KAWASAKI LAUNCH CONTROL MODE): Designed to assist riders by optimizing acceleration from a stop, KLCM electronically manages engine output to minimize wheel spin when moving off. With the clutch lever pulled in and the system activated, engine speed is limited to a determined speed while the rider holds the throttle open. Once the rider releases the clutch lever to engage the clutch, engine speed is allowed to increase, but power is regulated to minimize wheel spin and help keep the front wheel on the ground. The system disengages automatically once a predetermined speed has been reached, or when the rider shifts into third gear. Depending on the model, riders can choose from multiple modes, each offering a progressively greater level of intrusion.

Ergo-Fit® Ergonomics

• GET THE PERFECT FIT: Slim ergonomics stem from a narrow frame and minimalist bodywork. To help facilitate the perfect fit, the KX™250X motorcycle features ERGO-FIT® adjustability. Four handlebar positions and two footpeg positions allow you to tailor the KX250X to your body size, riding style and preference.

Features

• Easy engine tuning.
• Finger-follower valve actuation.
• Slim, ergonomic bodywork.

KX™ Performance

• COMPETE WITH CONFIDENCE: Light and nimble handling comes by way of a lean, lightweight chassis, the same one featured on the KX™250 motocross bike. Overall weight is kept low thanks to a well-balanced aluminum perimeter frame, which also allows for slim ergonomics. The high-performance, race-ready suspension has been optimized for cross-country racing, especially on aggressive trails. Large-diameter disc brakes deliver strong stopping power, offering a high level of control.

KX™ Power

• EXPERIENCE LEGENDARY POWER: The KX™250X motorcycle features the same podium-ready engine of the legendary KX™250 motocross bike. This fuel-injected 249cc 4-stroke engine delivers high-revving performance to power past the competition. Engine maps are optimized for cross-country racing, delivering the ideal amount of useable power. Electric start makes starting the engine as easy as a push of a button. A coned disc-spring hydraulic clutch offers a direct feel, light lever action, and consistent performance.
