Greetings!

I'm a new member of this great forum from Serbia, Europe. I'm seriously considering to purchase a new Kawasaki KLX 250 in Spring 2010. Before I decide, I need to gather as much info as I can, and from all I could see and read this is the right place to be.

My first question is regarding the difference between USA and European version of KLX 250. I don't know if you are aware, but Euro version (designated KLX 250 (without S)) has electronic fuel injection instead of the carb (also Euro version is slightly more powerful 22 hp compared to 18.7 hp found on USA version). Would the el. fuel injection be a limiting factor in increasing the power of the engine when my 2 years warranty expires?

My 2nd question is what's the top speed and 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) time of the completely stock KLX 250S?

Tnanks!

Regards.

Welcome to KF.

If I was you I get busy using the search function.
There is a lot of info on here about KLX's.
The asain market also got the FI version.

Good luck.

Thanks!


This question might be silly, but I have to ask... Is the swingarm comprised of the solid aluminum alloy D cross section bars, or are they hollow inside?

Thanks.

 

Hollow. Well mainly. The end is solid.
