FACTORY-STYLE ENGINE COMPONENTS AND TUNING
The powerful fuel-injected 249 cm3 liquid-cooled, 4-stroke Single from the KX250 features finger-follower valve actuation, dual injectors and downdraft-style intake to deliver hard-hitting performance complemented by a robust low-mid range. Engine maps optimised for the X scene deliver a broad spread of useable power and facilitate minute throttle control.
RACER-FRIENDLY ERGONOMICS
Factory-style Ø28.6 mm (1-1/8") Renthal aluminium Fatbar, a popular aftermarket part, is now a standard feature. The thicker handlebar helps reduce vibration and shocks transmitted to the rider, while the grip position (19 mm lower, 8 mm 10 closer) helps put the rider in a position that makes it easier to weight the front wheel.
STRONG BRAKING PERFORMANCE
KX450 front master cylinder and petal disc brakes are among the KX250X's numerous factory-style components. The stylish discs contribute to both sporty looks and a high-quality appearance.
CROSS COUNTRY EQUIPMENT
Sturdy skid plate helps to protect the underside of the engine, and facilitates sliding over obstacles encountered on the trail. Convenient side stand comes in handy when stopping away from the paddock area.
X WHEELS AND TYRES
While the KX250 features F21"/R19" aluminium rims, the KX250X uses a F21"/R18" combination that facilitates putting the KX250X's power to the ground. Dunlop AT81 enduro-type tyres complement the X-specific wheels and are well-suited to the situations encountered in cross country riding.
EASY ENGINE TUNING: DFI SETTING DATA SELECTION (3 MAP CHOICES)
Adjusting engine settings to suit conditions has never been easier when using the KX's FI couplers. Plug-and-play style system is quick, easy and stress-free. Instead of a single engine map, the ECU features three (four, counting the Launch Control Mode maps). Initial settings for the three maps are: Standard, Hard and Soft conditions. FI couplers, enables riders to easily switch between the three maps to suit riding conditions. Each of the three maps can be reprogrammed using the optional accessory - KX FI Calibration Kit.
LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME
Well-balanced frame from the KX250 contributes to the KX250X's light weight, light handling, and slim ergonomics. The slim aluminium perimeter frame is a lightweight construction composed of forged, extruded and cast parts. Overall rigidity balance was optimised to deliver both light handling and excellent traction.
ELECTRIC START & BATTERY
Being able to restart an engine quickly during a race can mean the difference between keeping your lead, or having to fight your way back through the pack. Electric start makes restarting the engine as easy as pushing a button. Lightweight, compact Li-ion battery helps keep weight to a minimum.
HYDRAULIC CLUTCH
Like the KX450, a hydraulic clutch offers direct feel and light lever action. Less play as the clutch heats up during heavy use results in more consistent feeling. The use of coned-disc springs contributes to lighter clutch actuation when the lever has been pulled in, and a wider clutch engagement range, which facilitates control (especially when half-clutching).
HIGH PERFORMANCE PISTON
High-performance piston, featuring the same design used on our factory racers, contributes to strong performance at all rpm. A short skirt, reinforced external ribs and the use of a bridged-box bottom, featuring internal bracing, contributes to a light, strong piston design. A dry film lubricant coating on the piston skirts reduces friction at low rpm and helps with the piston bedding-in process.
FINGER-FOLLOWER VALVE ACTUATION
Like the KX450 and KX250, the KX250X features a valve train designed by Kawasaki's World Superbike engineers. Finger-follower valve actuation enables the use of large-diameter valves and aggressive cam profiles.
