For 2017, Kawasaki gave its KX250F an intensive going-through, a bit like the KX450F got last year. Kawasaki says that the new KX250F is lighter, incorporates a a lot of powerful engine, improved shifting, a narrower frame, and blandish seat. The new engine has associate offset cylinder layout for “more economical power.” it's a lighter bridged-box bottom piston, and a brand new downdraft-style intake layout with a brand new injector-angle style for “optimum fuel atomization.” a brand new downstream contraption with double as several holes end in what Kawasaki claims is stronger low-to-mid power and “sharper” throttle response. there's additionally a brand new 43mm throttle body and exhaust. According to Kawasaki, as rev and throttle position increase, primary operation switches from the downstream contraption to the upstream injector depending on whether or not during a low (1st, 2nd) or high (3rd, 4th, 5th) gear for a transition that's gradual or nearly instant. The upstream injector’s bigger distance from the combustion chamber offers the fuel particles and intake air longer to combine, yet as permitting the mixture to cool down before getting into the combustion chamber, each of that contribute to a lot of economical intake and, ultimately, more power.

Its european additionally has revised settings.

Kawasaki says the tank/seat junction is power tool and narrower for improved rider quality.
