2014 Kawasaki KX™250F Base

2014 Kawasaki KX™250F

Take a look at the record books and you’ll see that no other 250cc motocross bike in the modern four-stroke era has earned more championship titles in AMA Supercross and Motocross than the Kawasaki® KX™250F. The 2014 KX™250F's championship-winning technology includes a new Launch Control system, a plug-and-play adjustable ECU, Separate Function Fork (SFF), new motor mounts, revised suspension tuning and an upgraded transmission. Make no mistake, the KX™250F is still the dominant player in the 250cc ranks. Ride anything else, and you’ll just be playing catch-up.

• Launch Control is a first for the 250 class and increases ability to get good starts, by maximizing available traction

• Showa Separate Function Fork (SFF) provides progressive damping force and features 48mm inner fork tubes for rigidity

• Dual injector Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®) system

• High-rpm engine output extends deep into the overrev

• High-tensile steel front engine mount plates are 29% thinner than last year’s steel plates and offer a better mix of chassis rigidity, improved feedback and superior front-end grip

• Transmission gears feature four dogs instead of three, for enhanced shift smoothness

• Shift-fork grooves are more-direct to enhance feel at the shift lever

• Counter-shaft and sprocket retainer design now uses a nut and washer instead of a clip, for a more positive sprocket –to– countershaft interface and simplified sprocket swaps

• Upgraded crankcase oil jet delivers an optimized stream of oil to the underside of the piston, for enhanced cooling

• Revised throttle body tuning improves airflow from a closed-throttle, for a smoother idle and enhanced low-end response

• Revised piston tuning in the left fork leg enhances damping performance through the initial and mid-stroke

• Revised rear shock settings provide a more comfortable “baseline” for a wide range of riders

• Grips feature shorter barrels and are made from a softer material to enhance rider comfort
