At the heart of the 2025 Kawasaki Klr230 motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 233 cc engine architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 67.0 x 66.0 mm with a 9.4:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Klr230 measures 132 kg (291 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 880 mm (34.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.6-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
