Is the Kawasaki KX250 a good bike to ride?
The KX250 rode like a dream on the Perris track, maintaining agility in the tight inside ruts and stability in the fast sweeping corners. It tracks well in the hairpins and gives riders the confidence to charge rutted turns. We were pleased with the stock suspension settings.
Is the Kawasaki KX250 a push button start?
The 250 sports an all-green bodywork, mounted to a new frame that uses many of the same parts on, you guessed it, the KX450. Thankfully, Kawi finally chucked the manual kickstarter system for a push-button electric start system, and, like the ’21 KX450, the new KX250 also gets a coned disc (instead of coil springs) Nissin hydraulic clutch.
What kind of coupler does Kawasaki KX250 have?
The KX comes from the factory with a standard map (green coupler) installed. With the green coupler, you get good power and good revs. But the aggressive (white) coupler is where the fun is hiding out. The difference is significant. It certainly livens things up, and you’ll notice the improved over-rev that it enhances.
What did bones bacon do to his Kawasaki KX250?
Bones Bacon at Pro Circuit went through the suspension, replacing everything that was worn out, and then valving it and putting heavier springs on both ends to get it ready for us to rip off-road. Most of the jets were replaced and a V Force 3 reed replaced the well-worn stock pedals.
Is there going to be a Kawasaki KX250 in 2020?
The 2020 Kawasaki KX250 is a big departure from that routine. Everyone expected a major redesign for this bike because the 2019 KX450 got a new chassis with an electric-start motor and a hydraulic clutch. It made sense that the 250 would get the same treatment, whether it needed it or not.
How much does a Kawasaki KX250 dirt bike weigh?
Kawasaki decided not to add electric start, choosing less weight and a lower price instead. One aspect of the previous KX that everyone appreciated was the lack of weight. That’s still the case. It weighs 223 pounds without fuel on our scale.
Which is better a Kawasaki KX250 or a Husqvarna?
The Pro Circuit bikes might have been getting holeshots, but a showroom-stock 2019 KX250 had far less peak power than a KTM, Husqvarna, Honda or Yamaha. Despite that, there were so many things that were right about the bike. It had more low-rpm torque than anything in the class.
What’s the price of a new Kawasaki KX?
The price is $7795 compared to $9099 for the KTM. The only real issue is that the new bike would not have electric start or a hydraulic clutch like the new 450. Now the KX is a screamer, with a top-end weighted power delivery. The key to the whole plan was a new valve configuration.
