Kawasaki KX250F

The 2009 Kawasaki KX250F is literally all new from from last year. You wont find too many parts from the 08 model dirtbike on the 09 KX250F.

Testers found that the motor is strong off the bottom into the mid-range then continues into a good over rev. This allows you to carry gears longer and reduces the amount of shifting per lap.

The showa suspension for some riders did spike off square edged bumps causing the bike to buck around. Some could adjust this out with the clickers.

The Kawasaki KX250F is still too loud stock. In this world of closing tracks and people looking for a reason to get rid of dirtbikes Kawasaki needs to put more thought into noise readings.

Watch the video below for a ride review of the Kawasaki KX250F:

The Kawasaki KX250F comes with one piece injected plastics. This means that you still get two toned colour variation but only the one piece of plastic for easier removal.

The KX250F comes with showa nitrated forks.

The frame and subframe are both beefier but lighter. the swingarm is thinner and lighter.

The new 2009 Kawasaki KX250F has a lot of changes from last year, a strong motor with mixed reviews on the suspension. Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the other 250F's.
