The new 2023 Kawasaki KLX140R Dirt Bike comes in three model versions and is designed to provide an off-road adventure that will leave you with lifelong memories. The potent 144cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine has an electronic starter and keyless ignition. It is a four-stroke engine. Its wide, smooth, high-revving 144cc engine feels efficient and user-friendly thanks to a manual clutch and five-speed gearbox. The mid-sized KLX140R L motorbike has 19″ front and 16″ rear wheels to suit taller riders and provide more ground clearance than the KLX140R, which has 17″ front and 14″ rear wheels. The KLX140R F has full-size off-road wheels and tires, with an 18″ rear and a 21″ front.
Motorcycles like the KLX140R are a great way to start riding off-road because of their safe handling. Trailblazers will love the 144cc engine, comfortable suspension, and push-button electric start of the easy-to-ride KLX140R range.
2023 Kawasaki KLX140R Dirt Bike – Features and Specs
Box-Section Perimeter Frame (KP)
The KX-based perimeter frame, which is made of high-tensile steel, further improved off-road capabilities. Furthermore, the flat footpeg/frame rail connection offers an area specifically designed for boots to grasp the frame for increased control.
Electric Starter
A keyless start button on the handlebars ensures Easy and rapid starting.
U.S. Forest Service-Approved Spark Arrester
Including a spark arrester permitted by the US Forest Service, the silencer allows silent operation and entry to certain public riding areas.
5-Speed Close-Ratio Transmission
To increase the engine’s acceleration capacity, close gear ratios are combined.
Progressive Manual Clutch on the KLX 140R L/R F
The progressive manual clutch has a two-stage engagement mechanism that uses a spring damper to enable partial clutch operation at very low rpm or idle speeds.
High-Level Suspension
The strong front and rear suspensions balance the very stiff structure. The 33mm front forks have unique spring rates and damping settings for every KLX140R model. Preload may be adjusted in five ways on the KLX140R rear shock. The more durable KLX140R L/R F has an aluminum rear shock with a piggyback reservoir, threaded preload, 4-way compression, and 22-way rebound damping settings. The KLX140R and the updated shock are compatible.
Petal Disc Brakes
The new 2023 Kawasaki KLX140R Dirt Bike offers better braking performance since it has disc brakes on both the front and back, unlike most play bikes with drum/disc combination brakes. For better braking performance, the wave pattern improves cooling efficiency and helps clean the brake pads, while the petal disc design lowers unsprung weight.
Race-Inspired Ergonomics
Vibration transmitted to the rider’s hands is reduced by handlebar clamps set on rubber. Installing handlebars from an aftermarket supplier is made more accessible by the distinct top triple clamp from the handlebar clamps. Half-waffle KX-style handle grips improve grip and rider control. A slip-resistant top surface for increased grip when sitting and smooth sides for better movement are further features of the dual-texture seat cover.
