More power for 2023 Kawasaki KX250

The updated Kawasaki lites motocross machine has hit Australian shores

The 2023 Kawasaki KX250 has been bolstered by extra power and torque across the entire rev range, with the popular motocross machine now on sale in Australian dealerships.

Checking in with a price tag of $12,443 ride away, the new Kawasaki KX250 is designed with the Japanese brand’s championship-winning heritage firmly in mind.

To that end, the updated lites class weapon benefits from a redesigned engine that offers increased performance in the form of more power and torque across the rev range.

This is achieved with new intake valves and valve pitch, a straighter intake duct, a repositioned upstream injector, a longer exhaust header pipe, new advanced ignition timing and revised gearing with a taller first gear.

Elsewhere, the suspension has been fine-tuned with firmer settings and more precise tuning parameters, while new Dunlop MX33 rubber – including a wider rear tyre – and repositioned and wider footpegs also add to the bike’s rideability.

The rest of the bike’s components are carried across from the previous model, with the KX450-based aluminium perimeter frame, electric start, adjustable ergonomics, petal disc brakes, launch control, and programmable riding maps all contributing to a race-winning package.

With a wet weight of 108kg and a signature Kawasaki Lime Green livery, the new 2023 KX250 will be an attractive option for prospective customers. See your local Kawasaki dealer for more info.
