2008 KX250 (KX250R8F)

High performance 2-stroke engine
􀂄 Ultimate development of the legendary KX250 2- stroke engine.

Kawasaki Integrated Powervalve System
􀂄 KIPS varies the exhaust port height to broaden the useful rpm range for good low end and mid-range without sacrificing the top-end power.

Kawasaki Throttle Responsive Ignition Control (K-TRIC)
􀂄 A throttle position sensor communicates load to the igniter so its micro computer can maximise ignition timing and power jet settings for quicker throttle response and maximum power.

Fuel system
􀂄 Keihin Power Jet PWK38S carburettor gives excellent performance and response across the rev range.

Digital Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI)
􀂄 Single spark system with acceleration compensator provides ideal ignition timing, especially under hard acceleration.

TRANSMISSION
5-speed transmission
􀂄 Lightweight, compact and reliable 5-speed transmission.
􀂄 A ratchet-type shift mechanism for excellent shift response and feel.
 

CHASSIS
High-tensile steel perimeter frame
􀂄 High footpeg design improves riding position and increases the bank angle and ground clearance.

Inverted 48 mm front fork
􀂄 48 mm inverted twin chamber type fork with 16 way compression and rebound damping adjustment.

Uni-Trak® rear suspension
􀂄 Uni-Trak® rear suspension offers superb traction and smooth suspension action across the whole stroke in a lightweight and compact suspension package.
􀂄 18 way (low-speed), 2 turns (high-speed) compression and 16 way rebound damping with spring preload adjustment to tune suspension to all conditions.

Front and rear disc brakes
􀂄 A single 250 mm semi floating front disc with twin piston caliper and a single 240 mm rear disc with single piston caliper ensure excellent stopping power and feel.
􀂄 Petal shaped brake discs are used on the front and rear. The wave shape helps clean the brake pads and reduces unsprung weight.
􀂄 Solid petal discs are available as an option for wet races.

Wheels
􀂄 Front and rear DID rims feature an extremely light weight design to reduce unpsrung weight.

Detail features
􀂄 A flat seat shape improves rider mobility while the two tone urethane material has the top textured for grip, and smooth sides for movement.
􀂄 Works style aluminium Renthal straight handlebar contributes to weight reduction.
􀂄 On the fly clutch adjuster allows mid race adjustments.

CHANGES FROM 2006 MODEL
􀂄 The front and rear hubs and handlebar clamps get a cool brown finish just like Kawasaki’s factory racers.
