2009 Kawasaki KX250F - First Test
2009 kawasaki KX250F
Read the complete review on DirtRider.com
New bodywork and nitride-coated inner fork tubes are the first details of the 2009 kawasaki KX250F to pique a gearhead's curiosity, but the beauty is deeper than the green and black skin. For any beauty, a long-legged skeleton is a must, and kawasaki reshaped and sculpted every alloy bone. Every manufacturer is chasing that elusive balance of frame rigidity, flex and handling, and smaller and thinner tubes are the norm for this chassis. It is lighter, and the more-tapered swingarm is mounted higher in the frame for more traction. These changes are measured in a handful of millimeters, but small changes can pay off big. kawasaki was aiming at better feel and traction, but a side benefit to the frame and new plastic is eased maintenance. It is vastly easier to adjust shock preload, and having the head stay moved from the top to the side of the engine will make engine work much nicer.
