Positioned in Kawasaki's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Kawasaki KVF 360 utilizes a 362 cc (22.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 26.1 Nm (19.3 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through shaft drive (cardan) final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 80.0 x 72.0 mm (3.1 x 2.8 inches) with a 8.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the KVF 360 measures 263.5 kg (581 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 904 mm (35.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,252 mm (49.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
