2014 Kawasaki KX250F and KX450F
The last of the Japanese manufacturers to unveil its 2014 motocross fare, with the company adding electronic launch control to the KX250FKawasaki has released details on its 2014 motocross range, and the greatest cause for excitement is the addition of electronic launch control on the KX250F, activated via a handlebar push-button setup.
The quarter-litre machine also has new front engine mounts; revised settings in the separate function fork (damping assembly in the left fork tube and a spring in the right) and Uni-Trak shock absorber; revised styling; and modifications to the gear selector and gearbox selector dogs.
The 2013 KX250F also led the charge on updates, when it received a straighter intake which helped to boost performance, as well as revised ignition timing, a new multi-map ECU, a narrower aluminium perimeter frame, redesigned fuel tank, and a new pushrod-type front brake master cylinder.
Meanwhile, the 2014 KX450F is basically unchanged, with minimal changes concentrating on styling and a revised pneumatic fork.
Kawasaki Australia anticipates a July or August release for both the 2014 KX450F and KX250F, with pricing still to be announced. Contact your local for more information.
