2009 Kawasaki KLX 250 SF Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Kawasaki's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2009 Kawasaki KLX 250 SF pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 61.2 mm (2.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the KLX 250 SF measures 137 kg (302 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 861 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
