[American Motorcyclist Association] - Kawasaki announces new KLX140G for 2017
The following is an industry press release...
2017 KAWASAKI KLX®140G The all-new KLX140G motorcycle is a lightweight full-size trail bike designed to let the pureness of dirt riding shine through. New for the 2017 model year, the KLX140G comes with full size off-road wheels and tires, a powerful and durable 144cc 4-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, electric starter and keyless ignition. Its ergonomics and lightweight chassis make it ideal for taller riders who want to experience the KLX140G. Built to provide newer and more experienced riders alike great off-road performance in a bike that fits well and is easy to ride, the KLX140G is all about pure fun in the dirt. The KLX140G is lightweight, has a low seat height, broad and smooth high-revving 140cc engine with a manual clutch, 5-speed transmission. These factors make it a great off-road motorcycle for a wide range of riders. From the younger or less experienced riders advancing their riding skills, to their parents wanting a bike to join them on the trails, it’s a capable and unintimidating motorcycle designed to deliver unlimited fun. The Kawasaki KLX140G:
ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & CLUTCH
The KLX140G offers a reliable compact power plant that is simple to operate and maintain. With a 144cc engine it delivers plenty of power through the rev range. A progressive manual clutch offers new riders the chance to experience full control of gear shifting. The clutch features a spring damper resulting in a progressive, 2-stage engagement that facilitates half-clutch use when riding at extremely low rpm or idling speeds, making it great for technical riding. Additional benefits are a direct, but light feel and high durability. The KLX140G comes standard with a spark arrester, which is a must for trail riding. Having this as a standard feature is another way Kawasaki has made the KLX140G a trail-ready motorcycle. No worries, just riding. Another major factor that makes the KLX140G ideal for almost any level rider is the addition of an electric starter, utilizing a keyless ignition. It still retains a kick-starter for those riders who are learning or for when a backup is needed. SUSPENSION & WHEELS
STYLING & ERGONOMICS
A combination of form and function, the narrow frame and open ride position makes the bike maneuverable and fun to ride no matter the rider’s stature. Large footpegs provide ideal grip making it easy for riders to keep their feet on the pegs. The footpegs are positioned close to the bike’s centerline to create a slim riding position. The flat design of the tank and seat gives the rider greater freedom of movement when changing riding position. The handlebar is rubber-mounted to reduce vibration transferred to the rider’s hands for enhanced comfort. Handlebar grips feature a raised pattern on half of the surface making them comfortable and easy to grip. Like the KX racers, the KLX140G motorcycle features a stylish two-tone seat cover that uses a slip-resistant top surface for good grip when seated and smooth sides for excellent rider mobility. KLX140 & KLX110 FAMILY Kawasaki offers a wide variety of small displacement off-road motorcycles:
