Engineered by Kawasaki for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2007 Kawasaki KLX 300R relies on a 292 cc (17.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 78.0 x 61.2 mm (3.1 x 2.4 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the KLX 300R measures 106 kg (234 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 925 mm (36.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,435 mm (56.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.84-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
