2012 Kawasaki KX250F
The motocrosser scored fuel injection in 2011, and now Kawasaki has uprated the system in 2012 for what it claims is a significant increase in powerKawasaki’s 2012 motocross cards have now all been laid on the table. First we got details of the hi-tech KX450F last week, and now the KX250F has broken cover, with the biggest selling point the adoption of twin injectors on the fuel-injected machine.
Kawasaki claims a world first for the twin injectors, just a year after the KX250F first jettisoned a carburetor in favour of fuel injection. The company claims a significant increase in power, with “the torque reminiscent of a carbureted engine”.
The KX250F still features Showa’s SFF (Separate Function front Fork), which separates damping and shock absorbing duties. The hard titanium coating on the outside surface of the inner fork tubes to reduce sliding friction is also retained on the 2012 model.
The Uni-Trak rear suspension has been updated, which Kawasaki reckons will amount to a “smoother action and improved bottoming resistance”.
The factory styling cues of the 2011 model, namely the factory style graphics, black rims and a blue finish on the suspension adjusters, have been retained with the addition of a blue finish on some of the engine trim for 2012.
