The 2003 Kawasaki KX250 motorcycle
has emerged as a completely new machine - engineered to
showcase technical prowess, exceed expectations and surface
as a force to be reckoned with amongst its competitors.
From the design table to the test track, the development
of a championship motocross bike focuses heavily on performance.
The completely revamped KX250 proudly boasts significant
engine upgrades and the first comprehensive exterior design
since 1999.
Although the KX250 already features one of the broadest
powerbands in its class, Kawasaki still focused on refining
the engine's low-rpm response, torque range and over-rev,
resulting in a more linear, smoother and wider powerband.
An all-new cylinder - featuring chrome-composite plating,
a first for the KX series - and new straight-edge exhaust
porting contribute to the improved engine characteristics,
as do several modifications to the Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve
System (KIPS3) timing. Stronger and larger radiators improve
cooling capacity and new exhaust pipe dimensions, mated
to a 20mm shorter exhaust system, contribute to improved
midrange and top-end power.
