QUICKSPIN I 2027 Kawasaki KX250F
P122
Inside the engine, the coned-
disc spring clutch receives 15
percent more spring pressure.
The goal is to improve feedback
at the lever and create a more
direct connection between the
throttle and rear wheel. Kawasaki
also reshaped the clutch and
brake levers for a broader, more
natural feel, replacing the narrow
design used in previous years.
The KX250F also gets a vis-
ible facelift with a new front
fender and number plate. The
shorter fender includes a mount-
ing location for the LitPro-style
GPS unit slated for the 2027
KX450F because both models
share the same fender. The
redesigned number plate routes
the cables behind it rather than
across the front.
Kawasaki also redesigned the
radiator hoses, eliminating the
Y-shaped junctions in favor of
dedicated hoses for each side
of the bike. According to Kawa-
saki, the change saves enough
weight to offset the larger,
longer exhaust. The claimed wet
weight remains 240.8 pounds,
keeping the KX250F one of the
heavier bikes in the class.
One number did drop: the
MSRP. Kawasaki lowered the
price by $500 to $8599. Price
reductions are rare these days,
so Team Green deserves credit
for making the KX250F a little
easier to buy.
Returning features include
Kawasaki's Ergo-Fit system with
adjustable handlebar mounts and
footpegs, Showa suspension, a
Nissin hydraulic clutch, dual fuel
injectors, quick air-filter access,
selectable power modes and
Rideology KX app connectivity.
The 2027 KX250F arrives with
changes and a lower MSRP.
