The 2014 MY Kawasaki KX250F comes with the same 249cc single engine as its predecessors, but the Japanese engineers have introduced some other new technologies to improve the KX250F's performance and carry one the heritage of this off-road performer.
The launch control can be activated while in neutral, the first or second gear to maximize traction with the push of a button. It maximizes the take-off thrust, bettering the odds of a holeshot start.
The transmission has been redesigned, too. It now has four dogs instead of three, and this offers smoother shifts. Also, the shift fork grooves have been improved to enhance feel at the shift lever.
Also, the grips have shorter barrels and are softer to improve rider comfort.
