Features
At a glance…
- Upgraded Showa Separate Function Fork (SFF) provides more progressive damping force and features larger-diameter 48mm inner fork tubes for improved rigidity and less stiction
- Dual injector Digital Fuel Injection system
- More robust high-rpm engine output extends deep into the overrev
- Stronger engine components improve reliability
High-Revving, High Performance Engine
- 249cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, four-valve, single-cylinder DOHC engine delivers hard-hitting power across the rpm range
- Nickel plating on the cylinder wall has a high adhesion factor for optimum durability
- Thick-stem connecting rod resists flex and enhances durability
- Thick crank web design features a balance factor on par with the factory racers to help minimize engine vibration, provide smooth power delivery and maximize performance in the mid-high rpm range
Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) System
- Revised intake tract provides a straighter shot into the combustion chamber for more direct airflow from the airbox into the combustion chamber
- Seal between air inlet port and throttle position sensor unit on the 43mm throttle body protects TPS sensor from fuel penetration
- Progressive throttle linkage opens more quickly after 3/8 open position
- Simple and efficient system: No battery, fuses or relays
- Sharp and precise engine response across entire rpm range
- Offers easy engine starting
- Helps prevent engine hesitation after landing from jumps and other high-impact situations
Bridged Box-Bottom Piston
- Revised piston profile helps increase reliability
- Light and strong piston shares same design as the factory racers, and a tin plating to optimize its interface with the nickel plating on the cylinder wall
- Special finish improves surface lubrication and wear resistance
- Short piston pin reduces reciprocating weight
Lightweight and Efficient Top End
- Stronger intake valve seat material offers increased durability
- Ultra-light valves have extremely thin valve stems on par with those found in supersport machines; intake valves feature thick heads for increased strength
- Special casting method leaves the intake port surfaces extremely smooth for optimum intake efficiency across the rev range
- Silicon-coated head gasket provides excellent sealing
Stainless Steel Exhaust System
- New 30mm shorter head pipe improves performance with a resonator chamber to help boost low-rpm torque
- New high-volume muffler assembly is 30mm shorter with a larger cross section keeps noise levels at 94 dB while retaining power production
- Durable stainless steel construction
Efficient Cooling System
- Thick radiators are strong and offer excellent resistance to mud buildup while providing superb cooling performance
- Cylinder head water jacket routes coolant to the front of the cylinder head for even cooling
Transmission and Shifting
- Strong, beefy crankcases feature additional material around the engine mounts to help increase long-term durability
- Clutch cable holder is integrated with the crankcase for accurate feel at the clutch lever
- Scavenge oil filter screen can be accessed without splitting the crankcases, facilitating easier maintenance
Quick-turning Chassis
- The KX250F’s slim and lightweight aluminum perimeter frame is 4mm narrower for improved ergonomics and handling
- Center of gravity and key dimensions such as swingarm pivot, output sprocket and rear axle locations designed to increase forward drive with minimal rear-end squat
Upgraded SFF Fork
- Upgraded 48mm Separate Function Fork (SFF) features new 1mm larger inner fork tubes which allow the internal damping components to be larger, for firmer damping response and increased ride comfort
- SFF design separates springing and damping functions for less weight, better performance, less stiction and easier adjustability
- Super-hard titanium coating on the outer surface of the inner fork tubes reduces stiction and improves suspension action while also helping prevent scratches and tube damage
- Friction-reducing Kashima Coat treatment on the inside of the outer fork tubes contributes to smoother suspension action
- Wrap-around fork tube guards provide excellent protection for the inner tubes
- Revised lower triple clamp open at the back for increased rigidity and improved fork action
Uni-Trak® rear suspension
- Rear shock features dual compression adjustability, allowing high-speed and low-speed damping to be tuned separately
- Features Kashima Coat on the inside cylinder wall for reduced friction and smoother suspension action
- New swingarm uses a longer cast front section, tapered hydroformed spars and forged chain adjusters
- Uni-Trak® rear suspension linkage system mounts the suspension arm below the swingarm, allowing more rear suspension stroke and precise tuning
- Linkage ratios for the Uni-Trak rear suspension match rear shock damping settings to achieve maximum rear wheel traction
