The Kawasaki KX250 was first introduced in 1974. It quickly became a popular choice in the motocross community due to its competitive performance and reliable two-stroke engine. This was Kawasaki's answer to the Honda CR250.
The last year for the 2-stroke version of the Kawasaki KX250 was 2007. Similar to other dirt bike manufacturers, Kawasaki shifted its focus towards 4-stroke engines due to changes in motocross regulations and the advancements in 4-stroke motors.
The Kawasaki KX250 has always been equipped with the following wheel sizes, 21 inches for the front wheel, and 19 inches for the rear wheel. These wheel sizes are standard for most full-sized motocross bikes because they provide a good balance between stability, handling, and traction on various off-road terrains. The larger front wheel of the KX250 helps to navigate obstacles and rough terrain more effectively, while the smaller 19 inch rear wheel provides better acceleration and handling.
The Kawasaki KX250, like many high-performance motocross bikes, can eat tires relatively quickly. Several factors contribute to this. The KX250, especially the two-stroke version, delivers a significant amount of power and torque, which can lead to faster tire wear, obviously on the rear tire.
Aggressive riding, such as hard acceleration, insane cornering, and frequent crazy braking, can accelerate tire wear on the KX250 or basically any motocross bike. Riders who frequently ride on challenging terrain or participate in motocross racing are likely to see more rapid tire wear.
The two stroke KX250 is definitely a legend.
