2005 Kawasaki KDX 220 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Kawasaki's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2005 Kawasaki KDX 220 R pairs a 216 cc (13.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 69.0 x 58.0 mm (2.7 x 2.3 inches) with a 7.2:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the KDX 220 R measures 101 kg (223 lbs) dry.

The 10.97-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
