KDX250
For 1982, the Kawasaki KDX250 is still
green. But just about everything else is
brand-new.
Gone is the old single-downtube frame,
and with it a few important pounds. The '82
KDX250 has a semi-double cradle layout,
with completely revised Uni-Trak" suspension.
The responsive rising-rate geometry now
controls a box-section swingarm that's nearly
twice as strong as last year's, but with the same
low weight.
The new frame makes room for a new
center-port exhaust layout, which tops off a
power-boosted engine design. It's fed
through a massive 8-petal reed assembly with
space-age, graphite reinforced plastic reeds.
Tight woods to wide-open desert, the
best way to cover ground is to supercross iton the 1982 KDX250.
