- Factory-style 28.6mm Renthal Aluminium Fatbar reduces vibration and shock transmitted to the rider.
FACTORY-STYLE ENGINE COMPONENTS AND TUNING
Highly acclaimed for its high output and smooth power delivery, the 2020 KX250's new engine features even stronger high-rpm focused performance and increased power. New bore and stroke offer the space for larger intake and exhaust valves, while finger-follower valve actuation like the KX450 enables a higher rev limit and more aggressive cams. Dual injectors, downdraft-style intake, and race-inspired tuning and parts add to performance.
MORE-RACE-WINNING HIGH-RPM POWER
The new engine boasts an increase in peak power of approximately 2.4 kW (3.3 PS), and performance focused on the high-rpm range. The stronger high-rpm performance, easily noticeable from 10,000 min-1, gives riders an advantage on the straights, and, when combined with a higher rev limit, makes it easier to tie corners together for quicker lap times.
REVISED BORE AND STROKE
The new engine features a short-stroke configuration, with bore and stroke measuring 78.0 x 52.2 mm. Thanks to the wider bore, larger intake and exhaust valves can be used, enabling greater flow for increased high-rpm performance. Likewise, the shorter stroke lends itself to the high-rpm focused engine character.
FINGER-FOLLOWER VALVE ACTUATION
Like the KX450, the KX250 features a valve train designed by Kawasaki's World Superbike engineers. Finger-follower valve actuation enables a higher rev limit (increased 500 min-1), and more aggressive cams for harder-hitting power.
DUAL INJECTORS
The KX250 is the only production motocrosser with dual injectors (a feature since 2012): an injector downstream of the throttle valve (where injectors are located on standard FI systems), tasked with delivering smooth, instant response; and a second, upstream injector located close to the airbox, which makes a significant contribution to engine output at high rpm.
SOAK IT UP
High-performance KYB 48mm inverted coil-spring fork handles suspension duties up front. Large diameter inner tubes and large 25mm damping pistons deliver smooth action and firm damping.
LIGHT & NIMBLE
The lightweight aluminum perimeter frame contributes to the KX250's quick handling, confidence inspiring stability, and slim ergonomics.
DESIGNED TO WIN
Taking the lead on the track calls for a machine built with the tech to make it happen.
PRESS & GO
Electric start makes for quick and easy engine starting at the push of a button.
SMOOTH & CONSISTENT
A coned disc-spring hydraulic clutch offers direct feel and light lever action while reducing play as the clutch heats up. Coned-disc springs make for light clutch actuation and a wide clutch engagement range. The KX250 motorcycle features the same championship-proven hydraulic master cylinder as the KX450 motorcycle.
WIN FROM WITHIN
A long connecting rod decreases the lateral force on the cylinder walls as the piston moves. The result is minimal mechanical loss for optimal efficiency and performance.
SERIOUS COMPRESSION
High-performance bridged-box bottom piston contributes to strong performance at all rpm. A dry film lubricant coating on the piston skirts reduces friction at low rpm and helps with the bedding-in process.
SPRING INTO ACTION
High-performance bridged-box bottom piston contributes to strong performance at all rpm. A dry film lubricant coating on the piston skirts reduces friction at low rpm and helps with the bedding-in process.
A STATE OF FLOW
Optimized intake/exhaust port shape and exhaust cam timing contribute to impressive engine performance.
POWER TO PERFORM
The KX250 motorcycle is propelled by a 249cc 4-stroke engine that offers a high rev limit and ample power across the entire rev range. Low- to mid-range power and high-rpm capability give you the edge to ride ahead.
