Revised damping rates and reduced travel for the 43mm inverted fork

improve straight-line stability and cornering feel, while also lowering seat

height. Dual-piston brake caliper and 240mm petal disc allow quick stops.

Digital speedometer, 13,000-rpm bar-graph tachometer, dual trip meters

and clock highlight the KLX250S instrument panel. The crisp backlit LCD

display helps ensure quick reference to essential information—on the

highway or off-road.

Wide 17-inch front and rear wheels, together with front and rear petal rotors

and an upgraded 300mm front disc brake, give the new KLX250SF both attitude

and ability.

Large, stable tread blocks give the low-proﬁle radial sportbike tires fantastic

grip on the street, while the 17-inch wheel sizes let KLX250SF owners

choose from a wide range of aftermarket rubber.
