2022 Kawasaki KLX230 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2022 Kawasaki KLX230 enduro - offroad motorcycle, Kawasaki relies on a 233 cc (14.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 67.0 x 66.0 mm (2.6 x 2.6 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the KLX230 measures 133 kg (293 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 884 mm (34.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,379 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
