Clever new tech on the 2012 KX250F
 
The 2012 KX250F has just been announced and has some smart new tech: 2012 Kawasaki New Product Launch

...with added enhancements that give the KX250F even more usable power...

For 2012, Kawasaki engineers sought to create a KX250F with even more impressive top-end performance, which they accomplished by equipping its Digital Fuel Injection (DFI) system with a second fuel injector ... located near the airbox intake. The all-new "upstream" injector helps build a wider and more potent spread of power as rpm climbs. The two fine-mist atomizing injectors that feed the 250cc four-stroke powerplant are distinct in appearance with different body sizes, but deliver the same per-cycle capacity. Together, Kawasaki’s dual injectors pack a one-two punch, delivering a second dose of fuel on acceleration to increase the high-rpm power and overrev capabilities of the KX250F.

Features
- Addition of second fuel injector helps build a wider spread of power
- Unique Separate Function Fork (SFF)
...
Man, it would be so nice if they trickled some of this tech down to the KLX. I'm sure they could extract enough power from then engine to make a significant improvement over the current donk without losing much in the way of reliability. And heaven knows the forks could be improved, and this SFF idea sounds a winner. It's certainly worked in the top-end mountain bikes.

Ahh well, guess it'll just have to be "bold new graphics" for the KX again in 2012.

Would be nice but it would also bring the cost of the KLX closer to the $7300 of the KX I am happy with the KLX and some mods.
Besides it seems to share the 1.9 gallon tank and anvil seat which are my two biggest complaints these days
Cheers Jim

sff seams to be hit and miss, some people love it, others stick to the tried and true. from what ive heard, you get a better feel, its more planted, even with stiffer springs (think bubba needs theses lol). the up stream injector seams like i good idea, but the difference will probably be little. if your looking for new tech, check the new 450, its all new from the frame up. even comes with a launch control stock.
