The Kawasaki KLX140 and KLX140L provide an ideal transition for riders stepping up from the KLX110 to a larger sized machine. With two versions to choose from the KLX140 with 14/16-inch wheels and the KLX140/L with larger 17/19-inch wheels Kawasaki offers a wider choice for youthful riders to find off-road bikes to fit just right in terms of size and weight. And they wont have to sacrifice features, either, as both machines feature nearly the same topnotch components throughout. The KLX140 models were developed in conjunction with engineers and test riders that produce Kawasakis championship-winning KX line. As a result, many of the components are derived from the KX line for a superior level of off-road fun, plus the KX design elements provide a racy continuity with the KLX140s siblings in the Kawasaki line-up. Key Features:

X X X X

(Specifications subject to change without notice.) * = Changes from previous model year.
Electric Start High-Revving Engine Box-Section Perimeter Frame Petal Disc Brakes
144 cm3 4-Stroke Engine Air-cooled, single cylinder engine is simple to operate and maintain, with high reliability. Combines easy-to-use low-end power with a top-end that revs out to approximately 10,500 rpm before hitting the rev limiter, which smoothly cuts power in the over-run for better control at high rpm. Electric Starter A keyless On/Off button located in front of the handlebars makes starting the KLX140 quick and easy. Gear change position lever features a ball bearing, just like the KX race models, for better shift action. Folding shift lever helps prevent damage from trail impacts or mishaps. Progressive Manual Clutch A spring damper is utilized to provide two-stage clutch engagement that facilitates partial clutch use when riding at extremely low rpm or idling speeds. Manual clutch allows riders to master full control of shifting. Box-Section Perimeter Frame KX-based perimeter frame made of high-tensile steel increases off-road capabilities. Flat footpeg/frame rail relationship provides area to grip the frame with ones ankles for better control.
An orange LED light is activated when the button is depressed to indicate that the power is on. Digital CDI ignition ensures quick, reliable starting. Kawasaki-Tuned 20mm Keihin Carburetor Kawasaki engineers modified the standard Keihin PB20 carburetor to perform better during hard off-road use. o Partitions in the float chamber and a main jet umbrella help minimize fuel sloshing for a more constant fuel supply, which helps prevent engine bogging over rough terrain. o Dual air vents ensure a stable air supply when the bike is leaned at extreme angles. o Rubber float has a higher specific gravity than plastic to maintain more precise float level. o Spring-loaded needle valve stays centered in the needle jet for better fuel flow and durability. U.S. Forest Service-Approved Spark Arrester U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrester in the quiet-running muffler allows access to designated public riding areas and helps prevent wildfires. (US Models only) Close-Ratio 5-Speed Transmission Close gear ratios enhance the engines acceleration capabilities.
High-Level Suspension Sturdy front and rear suspension complements the highly rigid frame. 33mm front forks have spring rates and damping settings specific for each KLX140 model. KLX140 rear shock has 5-way adjustable preload. Since the KLX140L is likely to be ridden harder, its rear shock features a piggyback reservoir, threaded preload, 4-way compression and 22way rebound damping adjustments. Both the shock body and reservoir are aluminum.

KLX140/140L

The upgraded shock is the only difference (other than wheel size) between the two models and it can be fitted to the KLX140. Aluminum swingarm is lightweight yet strong and utilizes KX racing-style chain adjusters for more precise adjustment of chain slack. Petal Disc Brakes Unlike most playbikes with disc/drum combination brakes, both KLX140 models feature disc brakes at the front and rear for a higher level of brake performance. 220mm front disc with large-bore, twin-piston caliper provides strong, easy-to-control braking. The 27mm pistons are the same size as those in the KX250F/450F front brake systems. Race-Inspired Ergonomics Rubber-mounted handlebar clamps reduce vibration transferred to the riders hands. The handlebar clamps are separate from the upper triple clamp, making it easier to install aftermarket handlebars. KX-style handlegrips with half-waffle design aid grip and rider control. Dual-texture seat cover uses a slip-resistant top surface for added grip when seated and smooth sides for excellent mobility. Bodywork Two-piece radiator shrouds are taken directly from the KX250/450F models and have a flush fit with the fuel tank cover for easy rider movement. Box-shaped muffler design provides an aggressive appearance yet is well concealed behind the side panel. Authentic Kawasaki Accessories See the current applicable Kawasaki accessory catalog or www.kawasaski.com.au for all of the latest Authentic Kawasaki Accessories available for Kawasaki motorcycles.

186mm rear disc is gripped by a 27mm single piston caliper. The rear brake master cylinder features a large unitized reservoir, just like the big KX models, for better brake performance.
Petal disc design helps reduce unsprung weight while the wave shape helps clean the brake pads and increases cooling efficiency for more efficient braking performance.
