Kawasaki KLX description

* Price shown is based on the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) and is subject to change. MSRP excludes destination fees, optional accessories, applicable taxes, installation, setup and/or other dealer fees.With its 17" front and 14" rear wheels, the Kawasaki KLX140 holds plenty of appeal for both young and old, but it also incorporates all of the standard 140's many off-road-worthy features, yet wraps them in an even beefier package that will stand up to the demands of taller and more aggressive off-road riders. The 140L not only features larger nineteen front and sixteen rear wheels and a taller 31.5 in. seat height, its suspension is also more performance-oriented, featuring an honest-to-goodness reservoir-type shock that larger and more experienced riders will quickly appreciate. At A Glance... 144cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine is simple to operate and to maintain Close-ratio five gear transmission makes optimum use of the engine's power Progressive manual clutch offers young riders the chance to master clutch engagement and gear shifting Rear shock with piggyback reservoir has fully adjustable preload, four-way compression damping and 22-way rebound damping Keyless electric starting via a starter button on the handlebar; an LED indicates when the power button is on to help prevent accidental battery drain Front 220mm petal disc and large-bore 27mm twin-piston caliper (same size as those on the KX450F/250F) for strong and easy-to-control braking Quiet muffler is equipped with a USFS-approved spark arrester, meaning the KLX140L can access designated public off-road riding areas144 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine Reliable and easy to use lightweight engine is both simple to operate and to maintain Engine revs easily and allows riders to use the full rpm range up to the 10,500 rpm rev limiter Exhaust pipe is curved to achieve optimum length for good power character The quiet muffler is equipped with a USFS approved spark arrester, meaning the KLX140L can access designated public off-road riding areas Air-filter is washable, reusable, easily accessed and highly effective in dusty situations 31.5-inch seat height accommodates taller

helps ensure quick, reliable startsCarburetor Oval piston-valve Keihin PB20 carburetor features several Kawasaki-original modifications to provide stable fuel delivery under rough off-road conditions Partitions in the float chamber keep the fuel from sloshing excessively and an umbrella around the main jet traps fuel when jumping Dual air vents help provide a stable fuel supply even when the bike is at extreme lean angles Needle valve is suspended on a spring that acts like a shock absorber Float material is rubber instead of plasticClose-ratio five gear transmission Close gear ratios help the KLX140L's acceleration performance Like the KX models, the shift lever features a ball bearing to ease shifting and has a folding tip to help reduce the chance of bending the lever in a crashProgressive manual clutch Manual clutch offers young riders the chance to master clutch engagement and gear shifting A spring damper in the clutch gives it a 2-stage engagement that permits half-clutch use when riding at extremely low rpm or idling speeds, and helps provide direct clutch feel and better durabilityBox-section perimeter frame Ready for off-road abuse, the highly rigid, KX-inspired high-tensile steel perimeter frame uses the same upper tubes as the KLX250S Aluminum swingarm offers light weight, strength and a brushed finish like on the KX machines KX-style chain adjusters allow precise chain adjustmentsSuperior suspension 33mm telescoping fork assembly has spring rates and damping settings specific to the 140L Intended for use at a quicker pace, the KLX140L features a Uni-Trak linkage and a rear shock with a piggyback reservoir, fully adjustable spring preload, 4-way compression damping and 22-way rebound dampingKX-style wheels Strong, high-grade

and large-bore 27mm twin-piston caliper (same size as those on the KX450F/250F) offer strong and easy-to-control braking Rear brake uses a 186mm petal disc gripped by a 27mm single-piston caliper Rear brake master cylinder features a large-volume, unitized reservoir that contributes to stable braking and helps ensure sufficient fluid pressure even when the brake pad wears down In addition to helping reduce unsprung weight, the wave shapes of the petal discs help clean the brake pads for more efficient braking performanceErgonomics Combination of the flat surface of the frame's box-section, long footpegs mounted close to the bikes' centerline and no kick-start lever add up to good grip and a high-level of machine control Footpeg/frame relationship is modeled after the KX line for max leg grip Handlebar is rubber-mounted for reduced vibration felt by the rider's hands Two-piece upper triple clamp and handlebar mounts foster easy aftermarket handlebar installation Raised pattern on half of the grip surface offers more control and comfort Two-tone seat cover has a slip-resistant top surface for good grip when seated and smooth sides for fantastic rider mobility when standingSharp, aggressive bodywork styling Box-section perimeter frame features advanced styling similar to that found on the KX racers Two-piece shrouds with ventilation holes inspired by the
