2014 Kawasaki KX™450F Base
2014 Kawasaki KX™450F
It’s no wonder that Kawasaki®’s KX™450F has amassed an enviable championship record in AMA Supercross and AMA Motocross. Having a great rider definitely helps, and Monster Energy® Kawasaki®’s Ryan Villopoto’s credentials are impeccable, including double-up titles in AMA Supercross and Motocross titles in 2011, followed by another AMA Supercross title in 2012. And in 2013, Villopoto made it three straight Supercross championships in a row, becoming the first rider to win back-to-back-to-back AMA Supercross titles since the great Ricky Carmichael, another rider whose career blossomed aboard Team Green™ machines.
Features may include:- Launch Control helps to reduce wheelspin on slippery starting gates
- Kayaba Pneumatic Spring Fork (PSF) uses compressed air to reduce weight, compared to traditional metal-coil fork springs, providing effective tuning and bottoming resistance
- Includes a free Kawasaki Genuine PSF Air Fork Pump and removable adjustment valve for quick and easy tuning of fork spring pressure
- Engine is tuned for optimum power delivery all the way from basement revs through the upper rpm range, this results in impressive thrust that continues from corner-exit to the end of the straights
- Piston crown shape allows for superior ultra-low to mid-range engine response
- Intake cam features slightly less lift, to promote better low-rpm throttle response
- Front master cylinder features a knocker-style lever-to-piston interface for improved brake feel and more consistent performance than the old piston-type unit
- Wide, low-density grips make life easy on the rider’s hands
- Lightweight 240mm petal-type rear rotor features the same aggressive petal style as the front rotor and is gripped by a single piston hydraulic rear caliper
- Launch Control helps to reduce wheelspin on slippery starting gates
- Pre-programmed ignition maps are interchangeable trackside, no PC required
- Adjustable 4-position handlebar and 2-position footpegs allow riders to fit the KX to match their personal preference
- Black anodized aluminum rims for a factory look
- Narrower grips are softer and more comfortable for 2014
