The 2018 Kawasaki KX250F has been unveiled in the
UK. The off-road motorcycle gets a revised upside down fork up front with
adjustments to the rear monoshock for better all-around bump absorption and
suspension action.
Kawasaki has also reworked the fuel injection
system, and the fuel pump pressure has been increased. The inlet area has been
reworked while the injector mounting angle has been made shallower. The 249 cc
liquid-cooled mill of the 2018 Kawasaki KX250F produces more power and torque
than the outgoing version. The compression ratio has
been reduced from 13.7:1 to 13.4:1.
The reshaped exhaust port of the 2018 Kawasaki
KX250F is both longer and wider as it exits the cylinder head and travels towards
the silencer. Kawasaki promises a better bottom end and mid-range along with
smoother power delivery. The bike is expected to continue with features like
launch control, adjustable ECU, adjustable handlebar and adjustable footpeg
position.
Kawasaki is yet to confirm the pricing and delivery
details of the 2018 Kawasaki KX250F. The 2017 model has a price tag of GBP
6,549 in the UK.
