2012 Kawasaki KLX 140 L, 2012 Kawasaki KLX® 140 The Fun, Friendly, Multi-talented Dirt Companion The multi-talented KLX®140 features an easy-to-handle size that will delight newer riders, while its engine provides a steady flow of power that both new and seasoned riders can enjoy. Riders of all stripes will find something to love about this compact dirt bike, whether it s the straightforward push-button starting, or its slightly larger than a pit bike size. Cracking a smile will be inevitable, no matter a rider s level of experience. Bringing the KLX to life is as simple as pressing the power switch and thumbing the start button. The power switch includes an internal LED to remind riders when the ignition is on, and preventing dead batteries. The powerful 144cc engine is easy to manage via a manual clutch and a five-speed, close ratio transmission. And a progressive clutch means that younger and beginning riders can more easily get the hang of shifting and clutch use; its progressive nature also means half-clutch can be used at extremely low speeds. The clutch also offers a more direct feel and more durability. The KLX s high-revving, smooth and surprisingly quiet engine is wrapped in a high-tensile steel perimeter frame covered by KX -like shrouds, a two-tone seat cover and sharp, aggressive body work. The 140 s roomy cockpit, overall control layout and narrow footpeg/frame relationship including wide and comfortable footpegs make it easy for riders to move around while aboard with a minimum of effort. A 33mm telescopic fork featuring custom-tuned spring rate and damping settings handles suspension duties up front. In back, a UNI-TRAK® linkage equipped rear shock featuring 5-way preload adjustability provides a smooth and controlled ride. To provide even greater options for growing riders, the KLX140L s more advanced, reservoir-equipped shock easily fits the standard KLX140. Lightweight RK EXCEL aluminum rims and advanced braking components are another sign this is a serious off-road motorcycle. A large 220mm front disc and 27mm twin-piston caliper at the front and 186mm rear disc provide serious stopping power. Both utilize petal shaped rotors, which help clean the brakes and reduce unsprung weight for better wheel control. Bottom line? The KLX140 delivers an ideal blend of size and performance, all of which equals Big Fun for kids and adults alike.
