| 2011 Kawasaki KLX 250S |
With a gear-driven engine balancer keeps it nice and smooth for greater comfort and less fatigue on longer rides. A highly refined six-speed transmission contains the right gear for everything from first-gear offroad crawling through top-gear highway cruising, with an advanced shift cam for positive shift.
The rigors of off-road motorcycling dictate additional protection for the exposed underside of the machine: The 2011 Kawasaki KLX 250S comes standard with an aluminum engine guard to protect its crankcase during off road adventures. Negotiating tight terrain also highlights another off-road reality heat. Dual lightweight, high-capacity Denso radiators and an electric fan provide ample cooling.
KX™ racing-type chain adjusters allow for precise chain adjustments.
The 43mm inverted cartridge-style front fork features 16-way adjustable compression damping and 10.0-inches of travel; the Uni-Trak® linkage-type rear suspension has 16-way adjustable compression and rebound damping, and provides 9.1-inches of wheel travel.
Strong, 4mm-thick spokes in the 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels provide for excellent wheel rigidity for enhanced off-road durability. The 2011 Kawasaki KLX 250S also stops hard, thanks to twin-piston calipers squeezing a 250mm semi-floating petal disc up front and a 240mm petal disc at the rear. Riders seeking enduro handling and modern engine performance in a dual-purpose motorcycle designed for effortless street riding will find it at their local Kawasaki dealership.
