Removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, even simple bikes can offer a great deal of fun. Kawasaki recognises this, and proudly introduces two new playbikes based on the KLX110. Designed for youngsters aged 13 and above, and mini-motoenthusiasts, the new KLX110 and KLX110R L can handle rider weights up to 70 kg.
Air-cooled 112 cm3 SOHC engine pumps out plenty of responsive low-rpm torque. Revised valve timing results in an engine more powerful at all rpm than that of its predecessor. Revised carburettor settings match the revised power characteristics and offer more stable performance when riding on rough roads.
Gear ratios were reviewed accordingly. While the overall ratio in top gear (now 4th gear) is about the same, 1st gear is much taller and the gearbox has a wider range, which contributes to smoother transition, making riding more fun and more aggressive riding possible. Final ratio is now 38/13 (2.923). Manual transmission (KLX110L only, please see below) enables sportier riding for those wishing to enjoy greater control.
The KLX110 and KLX110L feature different suspension lengths and strokes. (09 KLX110 figures included for reference.) The longer suspension of the KLX110L also offers increased handling performance and increased rough-road capability.
Factory styling gives the KLX110 and KLX110L the look of true motocrossers. New shrouds, tank, number plate, side covers and fenders have a sharp new design modelled after our flagship motocross racer, the KX450F.
Sturdy high-tensile steel backbone frame and high-tensile steel braced swingarm contribute to the excellent handling characteristics of the KLX110 and KLX110L. Tapered roller bearing (previously a ball bearing) used at the bottom of the steering stem offers increased durability. Sealed-type 12 V battery supplies power for the electric starter. Convenient side stand eases maintenance chores.
