INTRODUCTION
Designed to be ultra-compact, the KLX300R’s liquid-cooled 292cc engine features dual overhead cams activating four valves atop an Electrofusion-coated aluminum cylinder, which is highly-resistant to wear. The engine is wrapped in a high-tensile steel perimeter frame based on the design of Kawasaki’s KX™250 motocross bike. A 26.5-degree steering angle and shorter wheelbase contribute to quick handling characteristics. The KLX300R comes fully loaded with equipment to handle the rigors of trail riding, and is covered by a six-month limited warranty. Standard items include headlight and taillight, odometer, sidestand, hand guards, snail-type chain adjusters for quick rear-wheel removal and quick adjustment of the O-ring chain, a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor, and a large fuel tank with reserve petcock. FEATURES
- Lightweight piston and connecting rod allow power-producing revs - Liquid cooling for even-running temperatures, longer engine life and consistent power on hot days Double Overhead Cams - A cam lobe for each valve with shim-under tappets has less reciprocating weight for efficiency at high rpm Electrofusion Cylinder - Incredibly hard coating in the aluminum cylinder provides superior heat transfer with less weight - Holds lubrication, resists abrasion and seizure, and allows tighter clearances for more horsepower Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release (KACR) - KACR provides quick, easy starts - Four-valve Cylinder Head - Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow - Boosts low-end torque - 34mm Semi-flat Slide CVK Carburetor - Precisely meters for good fuel economy - Provides quick throttle response - Gear-driven Engine Balancer - Engine runs smoothly from idle to redline - More rider comfort on long rides Six-speed Transmission - Positive shifting action and rugged durability with gearing for every situation - Oil level window provided Digital Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDI) - Digital microcomputer delivers a precisely timed spark regardless of rpm changes - Reliability under extreme conditions High-tensile Steel Perimeter Frame - Frame is built of box-section and tubular high-tensile steel - Straight-line ability is not sacrificed 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 grasps a floating front disc for “single finger” stopping power - Single piston rear caliper from the KX™250 gives strong, reliable performance O-ring Drive Chain - O-rings keep the dirt and water out, while retaining lubrication in for longer chain life Enduro and Trail Equipment - Headlight and taillight for long rides or enduro competition requirements - Odometer to track progress - Large 2.6-gallon tank allows for long distance riding - Hand guards fend off the brush - Snail-type chain adjusters for quick wheel changes and chain adjustments - U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor
