2020 Kawasaki Versys-X 300 Adventure Touring Bike – Features

The parallel twin-cylinder engine is tuned for general riding conditions. The upward riding position provides ample comfort in the city and on the open road—full-size physics for lightweight street bikes with a light bridge and an easy-to-use assist and sleeper clutch.

Parallel Twin Engine

Low solid to medium-range torque makes it easy to get off the stop. Using the right airbox design and intake duct improves engine performance. The airbox is similarly thin and compact, reducing the overall width of the chassis and allowing riders to touch their feet on the track comfortably.

Lightweight pistons improve performance throughout the board. The Versys-X 300 works on conventional fuels thanks to its low compression ratio, which helps reduce piston temperatures. To enhance the cooling of the pistons, oil jets spray the pistons, including ducts, to allow the oil root to the entire bottom of each piston.

Heat dissipation of T-treated (KP) coated cylinder bags has increased.

A huge volume of oil in the crankcase design improves the cooling efficiency. Includes a spin-on oil filter for ease of maintenance.

DFI stands for Digital Fuel Injection (KP)

Easy start, smooth operation, high efficiency, and improved fuel efficiency are all advantages of DFI. Includes dual throttle valves (KP) for maximum performance and riding ability. The ECU controls the sub-throttle in the throttle bore before the central throttle valves to accurately regulate airflow for smooth, linear throttle response.

Tuned Exhaust System

For adventure-style riding, the exhaust header fits the engine firmly and helps increase low- and mid-range power. The center pipe and header pipe have large diameters to help improve top-end ability. The muffler with a complex cross-section gives enough volume to comply with sound standards while allowing for a narrow-angle suitable for cornering. Smaller shapes also help focus more.

Assist & Slipper Clutch (KP)

The clutch is pressed together during acceleration (Assist function) using the rotating forces of the clutch hub and pressure plate, allowing the use of low and light clutch springs for a soft feeling on the lever. The sleeper feature enables some clutches to slip in high backlight conditions, such as when the low gear is selected, to help minimize engine lock-up and stalling, as well as rear-wheel hop.
