Built around Kawasaki's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2026 Kawasaki Klx300R utilizes a 292 cc engine layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 78.0 x 61.2 mm with a 11.1:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Klx300R measures 128 kg (282 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 900 mm (35.4 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 7.9-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Kawasaki archive, this model family spans 7 indexed model years from 1999 to 2026, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
