KLX300R FEATURES
Ultra-Compact 292cc Liquid-Cooled, 4-Stroke
Single
- Lightweight piston, piston pin and connecting rod allow
power-producing revs without excessive vibration
- Liquid cooling for even running temperatures means no power
fade on hot days and longer engine life
Double Overhead Cams
- A cam lobe for each valve with shim-under tappets has less
reciprocating weight for efficiency at high rpm
Electrofusion Cylinder
- The incredibly hard coating in the aluminum cylinder bore means
superior heat transfer with less weight
- Holds lubrication well, resists abrasion and seizure, and
allows tighter clearances for more horsepower
KACR
- Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release ensures quick, easy
starts by enhancing engine turn-over when kick-starting
Four Valves Per Cylinder
- Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow
- Boosts low end torque
34mm Semi-Flat Slide CVK Carburetor
- Precisely meters fuel for good economy
- Provides quick throttle response
Gear Driven Engine Balancer
- Engine runs smoothly from idle to redline
- More rider comfort and less fatigue on long rides
6-Speed Transmission
- Positive shifting action and rugged durability with gearing for
every situation
- Oil level window provided
Digital Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDl)
- Uses a digital microcomputer to deliver a hot spark at exactly
the right time, no matter how fast the rpm changes
- Easy starts and reliability under extreme conditions
High Tensile Steel Perimeter Frame
- Based on the KX125 and 250 frames, the KLX300R frame is buiit
up of box-section and tubular high-tensile steel
- Straight line ability is not sacrificed for quick handling due
to the incredible frame rigidity
43mm Upside Down Cartridge Fork
- 20-way compression damping adjustment
- Cartridge maintains more consistent damping force by minimizing
aeration of the fork oil
Uni-Trak® Rear Suspension
- Temperature compensating rebound damping keeps things under
control even when the shock heats up under strenuous
conditions
Front and Rear Disc Brakes
- Twin piston front caliper from the KX250 grasps a 250mm
floating front disc for single finger stopping power
- Single piston rear caliper is also from the KX250 and uses a
220mm disc to give strong, reliable performance
O-Ring Drive Chain
- O-rings seal the dirt and water out, keep lubrication in for
longer chain wear
Enduro and Trail Equipment
- A headlight and taillight for really long rides or enduro
competition requirements
- An odometer to track your progress
- Large 2.6 gallon tank allows great range, but is narrow for
comfort
- Hand guards fend off the brush
- Snail-type chain adjusters for quick wheel changes and chain
adjustments
