2014 Kawasaki KX 450F, 2014 Kawasaki KX 450F It s no wonder that Kawasaki® s KX 450F has amassed an enviable championship record in AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross. Having a great rider definitely helps, and Monster Energy® Kawasaki® s Ryan Villopoto s credentials are impeccable, including double-up titles in AMA Supercross and Motocross titles in 2011, followed by another AMA Supercross title in 2012. And in 2013, Villopoto made it three straight Supercross championships in a row, becoming the first rider to win back-to-back-to-back AMA Supercross titles since the great Ricky Carmichael, another rider whose career blossomed aboard Team Green machines. Key Features may include: Launch Control helps to reduce wheelspin on slippery starting gates Kayaba Pneumatic Spring Fork (PSF) uses compressed air to reduce weight, compared to traditional metal-coil fork springs, providing effective tuning and bottoming resistance Includes a free Kawasaki Genuine PSF Air Fork Pump and removable adjustment valve for quick and easy tuning of fork spring pressure Engine is tuned for optimum power delivery all the way from basement revs through the upper rpm range, this results in impressive thrust that continues from corner-exit to the end of the straights Piston crown shape allows for superior ultra-low to mid-range engine response Intake cam features slightly less lift, to promote better low-rpm throttle response Front master cylinder features a knocker-style lever-to-piston interface for improved brake feel and more consistent performance than the old piston-type unit Wide, low-density grips make life easy on the rider s hands Lightweight 240mm petal-type rear rotor features the same aggressive petal style as the front rotor and is gripped by a single piston hydraulic rear caliper Launch Control helps to reduce wheelspin on slippery starting gates Pre-programmed ignition maps are interchangeable trackside, no PC required Adjustable 4-position handlebar and 2-position footpegs allow riders to fit the KX to match their personal preference Black anodized aluminum rims for a factory look Narrower grips are softer and more comfortable for 2014

2017 Kawasaki KX 450F, 2017 Kawasaki KX 450F The Kawasaki Difference THIS IS OUR PROOF The 2017 KX 450F motorcycle is the most powerful, lightweight, and agile KX450F ever. Developed from the highest levels of racing, this championship bike has advanced technology sourced straight from the world s premier race team another reason why the KX450F is The Bike That Builds Champions. CHAMPIONSHIP-PROOVEN POWER The 2017 KX 450F motorcycle is lightweight and powerful due to innovative race-proven components. Pick a category to start exploring. ENGINE Race-team-inspired Bridged-Box Bottom piston is lightweigth and designed to mach intake valves to optimaze combustion efficiency for maximum performance at all rpms EXHAUST Echaust header fearures an integrated resonator for crisp thottle response at low rpm and reduced exhust sound level INTAKES Rear seat intakes ensure clean airflow and costribute to improved throttle response High flow airbox with rear intake cannels for improved engine power CHASSIS AND BODYWORK The slim, lightweight, aluminum perimeter frame and revised triple clamps contribute to agile handling while a flat seat profile and integrated bodywork facilitate easy rider movement and a championship fit. SLIM, LIGHTWEIGHT CHASSIS Lightweight aluminum perimeter frame for sharp handling Redesigned triple clamp offers improved stability on corner entry to allow quicker turn-in. Slim frame spars and narrow shrouds allow easier rider movement Optimized swingarm rigidity for maximum rear wheel traction Lightweight bodywork features Kawasaki s first in-mold graphics for a durable, aggressive look Lightweight bodywork with smooth, seamless surface at the rider's contact points. The KX graphics are now molded into the shrouds for greater longevity and an ultra-smooth outer surface. ADJUSTABLE ERGONOMICS Adjustable four-piston handlebar moves towards or away from your body Two-position adjustable footpegs help reduce knee angle when seated SHOWA SFF-AIR TAC FORK Lightweight design with tuned rigidity to match chassis dynamics and optimize front end feel Features low-friction fork seals and optimized valve settings for smooth action and progressive damping STEP 1: Set inner chamber air pressure - The pressure in this chamber affects the overall fee across the entire stroke STEP 2: Set the pressure of the unter air chamber- The ounter chamber affects the last thirt of the travel so you can adjust the level of bottoming resistance STEP 3: Set the pressure of the balance chamber- This will adjust fork ride height and damping feel at the initial part of the stroke STEP 4: Final set-up step -
