2021 Kawasaki KX250X & KX450X Bike Intro | Racer X Films

Kris Keefer and Matthew Sirevaag from Keefer Inc. Testing hit the trails at Cahuilla Creek MX Park on Tuesday to test out the 2021 Kawasaki KX250X and KX450X off-road models.
For riders looking for a little more to their machine than the standard KX250 and KX450 models, the cross-country bikes are designed with the trail rider, desert racer, and woods rider in mind. With all the component updates on the newer race models transferred to the off-road lineup, Kawasaki offers subtle changes to increase comfort level in all types of environments.

[@mathews0618]

[@jasons44]

[@smidge1872]

Thanks! Please do the off road shoo out.

[@astreet339]

@KeeferIncTesting see this is the kind of “shootout, test rides, ect” you were talking about on the #PulpMxPodcast Monday night! I like this style a lot better!

[@davidklimmek3192]

Me too cause I can't ride a supercross track ..sorry! Old vet dog here..fart alot from gastro issues..dont get laid except by 250lb slobs..do have bad ass $65k Ford truck & '21 KTM 250SXF

[@danielshown2045]

Not familiar with your guest but super rad dude! Have him do more offroad for u dudes🇺🇸

[@ironthumb3048]

How was the engine braking and vibration on the 250x?

[@AntiPattern328]

That 250 sounds like a gazoo when its pinging the rev limiter.

[@a-a-ronenduro6969]

Seems like a slight miss that Kawasaki didn’t put at least a slightly larger fuel tank on these off road bikes like Honda and Yamaha did.

[@rl7880]

Do these bikes come with a spark arrestor?

[@pmdracing]

Off road shoot out fo sho. Thanks guys for the info. I was happy to see kawi release these and seriously considering one! Tank size same as moto version?

[@greglesny2663]

Yes standard tank but IMS has a 2.9 gal version for $375.00

[@robertforsberg6192]

Can we get a endurocross test on these bikes

[@jordancaleb5790]

hydraulic clutches are the best, they just need to give it a headlight

[@toddjacobs5660]

Both great bikes 👍, i have a 2018 Kawy Concours 1400, i know its not a dirt bike but its still kawasaki, has a huge potato shooter for a muffler, thing weighs 20 lbs. , i put a Dekevic slipon on it, that weighs like 12 lbs lighter, ended up putting stock back on because like you said, the power band is just better..

[@mfp4136]

Would you buy it for your 16yr sons first bike?

[@aaroncurtis1184]

If you do an off-road shootout you have to do it on the east coast.

[@michaelanderson1727]

Off-road shoot out please!

[@chadebel2970]

Please do the offroad shotout

[@JustBraap]

So now they’re called X and not XC? Hmmm 🤔

[@CZwies20]

Dude that's green not black cupler

[@joshd013]

Wonder if you can get more than 30 hrs out of the motor on the 450 before you start needing a piston or head gasket lol

[@johns5181]

I have a 2019 kx450 and I have 69.7 hours on it right now all original except oil changes and filters! Runs great

[@jonphotos8631]

They definitely have a build quality issues.

[@greglesny2663]

@@johns5181 I have 15' KX 250 at 90 hours still stock but can't go more than 15 hours without valve adjustment though. Is that normal ?

[@johns5181]

@@greglesny2663 I’m not a professional mechanic but I think on a 250 with that many hours it is probably normal. A lot of it depends on how aggressive you ride it! If you are over revving a lot and in the upper rpms I’d said it’s normal to adjust them that often! May also be time for a new piston and rings because it’s smaller higher revving motor!

[@jstnumber73]

Blue bike > Green bike
