FACTORY-STYLE ENGINE COMPONENTS AND TUNING

The KX450's engine has always been a strength, but Kawasaki engineers found a way to make it even stronger. Offering smoother low-end torque characteristics and a stronger over-run, the more potent new engine is backed by a host of features like electric start and a hydraulic clutch.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

ENGINE

Downdraft intake layout and symmetrically aligned intake and exhaust deliver a strong over-run and smooth low-rpm torque characteristics. Redesigned intake offers a much straighter route for air-fuel mix to enter the cylinder, while a centrally positioned exhaust port lines up with the intake for high airflow efficiency—both contributing to increased performance.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

ELECTRIC START

Being able to restart an engine quickly during a race can mean the difference between keeping your lead or having to fight your way back through the pack. Electric start makes restarting the engine as easy as pushing a button.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

HYDRAULIC CLUTCH

A hydraulic clutch offers direct feel and light lever action. Less play as the clutch heats up during heavy use results in more consistent feeling. The use of coned-disc springs contributes to lighter clutch actuation when the lever has been pulled in, and a wider clutch engagement range, which facilitates control (especially when half-clutching).

2025 Kawasaki KX450

FACTORY-STYLE CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND TUNING

Complementing its acclaimed straight-line performance and nimble handling, a redesigned frame with optimised rigidity balance enables improved cornering performance that remains consistent across a wide range of conditions, while more centralised mass also contributes to the improved handling performance. Premium Brembo brake components and ODI Lock-On grips add to both performance and brand recognition.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

FRAME

A redesigned frame accommodates the updates to the engine's intake and exhaust systems, while delivering a high level of both light, nimble handling and a composed character. Optimised rigidity balance contributes to increased front-end feel that translates to improved cornering performance in a wider range of conditions.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

BRAKES

Brake components include drilled Braking/Sunstar discs (ø270/240 mm) paired with a Brembo caliper and master cylinder at the front and a Nissin caliper and master cylinder at the rear. The high-performance system offers increased controllability on the brakes, contributing to enhanced corner entry.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

SUSPENSION

Factory-style ø49 mm inverted coil-spring front fork and New Uni Trak rear suspension offer race-ready suspension performance and adjustability to let riders tune their settings to suit conditions.

BODYWORK

Already highly acclaimed for their slim ergonomics, the KX450 receives redesigned bodywork that offers an even smoother rider interface. Newly designed shrouds, side covers, and rear fender are firmer and eliminate hooking points, further facilitating rider movement.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

ERGO-FIT

A choice of four handlebar positions and two footpeg positions allows riders to tailor their riding position to suit body size and preference. Factory-style ø28.6 mm (1-1/8") Renthal aluminium Fatbar helps reduce vibration and shocks transmitted to the rider, while a lower, closer grip position helps put the rider in a position that makes it easier to weight the front wheel.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

GRIPS

Medium-compound ODI Lock-On Grips offer excellent grip feel, while their screw-type fastening system greatly facilitates the task of swapping grips.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

COVER

Left side cover can be removed without tools, facilitating access to the air filter element. The element is now secured with quick-release hooks (previously a wing bolt), which makes changing the air filter a much simpler task.

ADVANCED TECH AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Complementing an updated Launch Control Mode, the new KX450 and KX450X are the first KX models to offer Power Mode selection and Kawasaki TRaction Control at the push of a button. And with smartphone connectivity, riders can adjust engine maps right from their smartphones—another KX first that eliminates the need for accessory equipment.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

POWER MODES

The Power Mode selection button—a first for Kawasaki KX models—replaces the DFI couplers used on the previous model. Using the Mode (M) button on the left handlebar, riders can quickly and easily switch between two engine maps (Normal, Mild response) provided in the ECU.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

KTRC (KAWASAKI TRACTION CONTROL)

Using the Traction (T) button on the left handlebar, riders can quickly and easily select from two levels (Weak, Strong) of traction control to suit conditions and preference. Riders may also elect to turn the system off..

2025 Kawasaki KX450

LAUNCH CONTROL MODE

Factory-style launch control system increases the chance of getting a good start by helping riders maximise traction when starting on a low-traction surface.

2025 Kawasaki KX450

SMARTPHONE CONNECTIVITY

Using the smartphone application "RIDEOLOGY THE APP KX," riders are able to access and adjust their bike's engine maps. Functionality (adjusting fuel and ignition timing) is similar to that offered by the accessory KX FI Calibration Kit used with previous models. Maintenance and setup logs are also available.
