Kawasaki have announced updates to their KX250F for
the 2018 model. The changes include
revisions to the suspension that sees adjustments to the rear shock and some
new components being used in the forks.
The engine and fuel injection system have received
the raft of the updates though, with Kawasaki focusing on holeshot acceleration
out of the start gate with better bottom and mid-range power to give a smoother
engagement that makes the bike easier to use with a high rpm.
The fuelling has been altered with new injection
settings with the inlet area getting re-engineered too. The pump pressure has
also been increased and the injector mounting angle is also shallower.
Alongside this, Kawasaki have made advances with the inlet timing and helps to
deliver the power and torque gains over the previous model when matched with a
lower 13:4:1 compression ratio.
Kawasaki has yet to reveal when the bike will be
available and if there will be any changes to the pricing of the machine. Nor
have they released just how much the power and torque have increased by.
