Electric start
- Keyless electric starting via handlebar-mounted button
- Orange LED light activates when the power button is depressed, indicating that power is “ON” to help prevent accidental battery drain
- Digital CDI ignition helps ensure quick, reliable starts
Carburetor
- Oval piston-valve Keihin PB20 carburetor features several Kawasaki-original modifications to provide stable fuel delivery under rough off-road conditions
- Partitions in the float chamber keep the fuel from sloshing excessively, while an umbrella around the main jet traps fuel when jumping
- Dual air vents help provide a stable fuel supply and eliminate hesitation even when the bike is at extreme lean angles
- Needle valve is suspended on a spring, which acts like a shock absorber
- Float material is rubber instead of plastic
Close-ratio transmission
- Close gear ratios help the acceleration performance of the KLX 140
- Shift lever features a ball bearing design for easy shifting like KX™ models, and has a folding tip for reduced crash damage
Progressive manual clutch
- Manual clutch offers young riders the chance to master clutch engagement and gear shifting
- Spring damper in the clutch provides a 2-stage engagement that permits half-clutch use when riding at extremely low rpm or idling speeds, and helps provide better clutch feel and durability
Box-section perimeter frame
- Ready for the off-road abuse, the highly rigid, KX-inspired high-tensile steel perimeter frame uses the same upper tubes as the high-performance KLX250S
- Aluminum swingarm is lightweight, strong and features a hairline finish just like the KX machines
- KX-style chain adjusters allow precise chain adjustment
Superior suspension
- 33mm telescopic fork has spring rates and damping settings specific to each model
- KLX140 rear shock features 5-way preload adjustability and a Uni-Trak® linkage
- More advanced KLX140L rear shock and reservoir can be mounted on the KLX140 for faster riders
KX-style wheels
- Strong, high-grade die-cast hubs offer the same durability as those on the KX models
- Durable, lightweight RK EXCEL aluminum rims are featured on the KLX’s 17/14-inch front/rear wheels
Petal disc brakes front & rear
- Front 220mm petal disc and large-bore 27mm twin-piston caliper (same size as those on the KX450F/250F) offer strong and easy-to-control braking
- Rear brake uses a 186mm petal disc gripped by a 27mm single-piston caliper
- Rear brake master cylinder features a large-volume, unitized reservoir that contributes to stable braking and helps ensure sufficient fluid pressure, even when the brake pad wears down
- The wave shape of the petal discs help clean the brake pads for more efficient braking performance and reduce unsprung weight
Ergonomics
- Flat-shaped box-section of frame, long footpegs mounted close to the bikes’ centerline and no kick-start lever combine to offer riders a good grip on the bike and thusly a higher level of machine control
- Footpeg/frame relationship is modeled after the KX models for maximum leg grip
- Handlebar is rubber-mounted to reduce vibration transferred to the rider’s hands
- Two-piece upper triple clamp and handle clamp allow easy aftermarket handlebar installation
- Raised pattern on half of the handgrip surface improves rider grip and comfort
- Two-tone seat cover has a slip-resistant top surface for improved grip and smooth sides for excellent rider mobility when standing
Sharp, aggressive bodywork styling
- Box-section perimeter frame features advanced styling similar to that of the KX racers
- Two-piece shrouds with ventilation holes inspired by the top-of-the-line KX race machines
- Fuel tank cover provides a smooth transition from tank to shroud, and contributes to the high level fit and finish
- Eye-catching box muffler design protrudes as little as possible from behind the side cover and features a plastic muffler end-cap that offers a surface that’s cooler to the touch than steel
