KXE125

KXE250

KXE250F

First some models that I don't know much about and witch are hard to find any information about. The KXE125 and KXE250 two stork enduro and the KXE250F four stroke enduro. It looks like they are built by the Italian firm KL-motors. All bikes are built on the corresponding Motocross bike. (KX125,-250 & -250F) The bikes have been modified with a complete lighting system with generator. A different exhaust system for noise regulations. And a 18 in. rear wheel. On some models there are also rear foot pegs and you can get them as Supermoto with 17 in. wheels and big brakes.

KDX200 KDX200-H10

Power, weight & seat height

-, 101kg, 920mm

The Kawasaki KDX200 off-road motorcycle is hailed by magazine editors as being one of the best dirt bikes to ever traverse a trail or compete in grueling International Six Day Enduro competition.

The KDX200’s 198cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine features Kawasaki’s Integrated Power Valve System (KIPS®), which helps spread the power over a wide rpm range. The compact engine is supported by a high-tensile steel perimeter frame, which is based on Kawasaki’s KX motocross models. The 26.5-degree steering angle and short wheelbase contribute to the KDX200’s quick-handling nature.

Standard fare includes headlight and taillight, hand guards to fend off brush, snail-type chain adjusters for quick rear-wheel removal and chain adjustment, an odometer, a rear fender bag for tools or other supplies, a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor and a large-but-slim, 2.9-gallon fuel tank with reserve petcock. The durable KDX200 also comes with a 6-month limited warranty and is eligible for the optional 24- or 36-month Kawasaki Good Times. Protection Plan.

KDX220 KDX220-A11

Power, weight & seat height

-, 101kg, 920mm

Take the KDX200 add an extra 18ccm, another carburettor, some new porting of the cylinder and you have the KDX220R. The Kawasaki KDX220R is built for the dirt bike rider who wants the handling and lightweight feel of Kawasaki’s acclaimed KDX200 combined with the torque of more displacement. The 220R build power more quickly and pull harder in the low-to mid-range of the power band.

Power is spread over a wide rpm range, thanks to the Kawasaki Integrated Power Valve System (KIPS.) guillotine exhaust valve. Power delivery is focused toward the low to middle part of the rev range since this machine is intended to compete with larger-displacement 250cc machines. As a result, the KDX220R produces 250-like torque.

A big bore KDX200 in short.

KLX400R KLX400-B2

Power, weight & seat height

41.8hp, 119kg, 945mm

New last year (2003) the KLX400R are unchanged for 2004. The KLX400R is designed for off-road excursions. With its electric start four-stroke engine, long-travel suspension and aggressive knob tires, it is built to conquer the toughest enduro trails or provide a leisurely trail ride. One push of a button fires up the KLX400.s lightweight 6.5 amp electric starter. The responsive power stems from a double overhead cam, four valve, liquid-cooled dry-sump engine that boasts rapid throttle response at all rpm. A twist of the throttle demonstrates that torque is on-tap from the low-end to the mid-range, and continues all the way up the power band.

For easy maintenance, a cable-operated clutch with a separate outer cover operates with the compact five-speed transmission. Equipped with a gear for any off-road situation, the KLX400R.s transmission can handle anything from tight, slimy and rocky terrain to high-speed hard pack. Wrapped around the responsive engine is an equally responsive chassis. With a dry weight of just 249 pounds, the KLX400R is slim, nimble and easy to throw around the trail.

The KLX400R has a 49mm long-travel cartridge fork, which features rebound damping and adjustable spring preload. A lightweight aluminium swingarm and rear shock with high/low-speed rebound and compression damping adjustability complement the fork and overall chassis package. Prime stopping power comes from front and rear hydraulic disc brakes.

Finishing touches to the KLX400R include off-highway lighting via a 55-way headlight and LED-type taillight, durable steel foot pegs, aluminium rims and hubs and a U.S. Forest-approved spark arrestor.
