INTRODUCTION |
MSRP $4,949* |
|
The ideal off-road motorcycle should
combine tractable power with a comfortable chassis that can handle
challenging trails.
Enter the KLX™300R. With its liquid-cooled four-stroke engine, perimeter
frame and plush suspension, this Kawasaki gives off-road riders the balance
of power and handling they want.
Designed to be ultra-compact, the KLX300R’s liquid-cooled 292cc engine
features dual overhead cams activating four valves atop an Electrofusion-coated
aluminum cylinder, which is wear resistant. The engine is wrapped in a
high-tensile steel perimeter frame based on the design of Kawasaki’s
championship-winning KX™ motocross bikes. A 26.5-degree steering angle and
shorter wheelbase contribute to quick handling characteristics.
The KLX300R comes fully loaded with equipment to handle the rigors of trail
riding, and is covered by a six-month limited warranty. Standard items
include headlight and taillight, odometer, sidestand, hand guards,
snail-type chain adjusters for quick rear-wheel removal and quick adjustment
of the O-ring chain, a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor, and a
large fuel tank with reserve petcock. |

Four-stroke Single
- Lightweight piston and connecting rod allow power-producing revs
- Liquid cooling for even-running temperatures, longer engine life and
consistent power on hot days
Double Overhead Cams
- A cam lobe for each valve with shim-under tappets has less reciprocating
weight for efficiency at high rpm
Electrofusion Cylinder
- Incredibly hard coating in the aluminum cylinder provides superior heat
transfer with less weight
- Holds lubrication, resists abrasion and seizure, and allows tighter
clearances for more horsepower
Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release (KACR)
- KACR provides quick, easy starts
Four-valve Cylinder Head
- Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow
- Boosts low-end torque
34mm Semi-flat Slide CVK Carburetor
