2004 KAWASAKI
KLX125 AND KLX125L
The Kawasaki
KLX125 off-road motorcycle and it's big-wheeled sibling, the KLX125L,
are specially built for youth riders ready to move up from smaller
bikes. They're also perfect for novice adult riders who like the
confidence-inspiring low seat height.
These
easy-to-start off-road motorcycles, with their user-friendly four-stroke
engines, share the same chassis and components but differ in wheel sizes
and brakes.
While the KLX125
sits on a 17-inch front wheel and 14-inch rear wheel, the taller KLX125L
rests upon 19-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels. Plus, the KLX125 is
fitted with drum brakes at both ends, while the KLX125L features a front
disc brake and rear drum br ake.
Powered by a
torquey and responsive air-cooled 125cc four-stroke single, both the
KLX125 and KLX125L pump out plenty of rider-friendly power for off-road
fun. The engine has been specially tuned for ample low and mid-range
power and a smooth shifting five-speed transmission means there's a
gear for every riding situation. A cable-operated manual clutch, along
with a digital CD ignition for quick starts, makes this quiet-running
motorcycle reliable and easy to operate.
A high-tensile
steel frame with a rigid carbon-steel swingarm add to the machines.
durability and lightweight handling characteristics, while bumps are
soaked up by a long-travel front fork and linkage-equipped single-shock
rear suspension system.
The combination of
a short wheelbase and a very comfortable riding position make both the
KLX125 and KLX125L fun to ride on a variety of terrain.
Inspired by
Kawasaki' s KX models, the fuel tank, slim seat and number plates give
the bike an exciting look, while the classic lime green plastic gives it
a true Kawasaki identity.
