2025 Kawasaki KX250 TESTED

[@ronlawson5819]

One of the best videos from MXA

[@loneventhorizon]

They need to make 2 strokes again

[@ryanxmx31]

Agree

[@gertscheper9653]

No , they dont.

[@NathanRoberts-d4o]

@@gertscheper9653they should cuz 4 strokes are butt

[@gertscheper9653]

@@NathanRoberts-d4o kawasaki arent doing it because they dont have to. If they needed to do it they would. They sell lots and lots of 4 strokes, in fact thats all they sell. Go to any track and it will be 85% 4 strokes and 15 % 2 strokes at best. ( get a yamaha ,ktm,or fantic 2 stroke) There you go.

[@dickfacepeterson]

Gov ruined that

[@Yoriichi_Sengoku]

Kx 250 is a beautiful monster

[@andy5786]

Like kawasaki KX 250 nice thanks for review guys 👍🇬🇧

[@ed11.]

Dude this track looks awesome, and Josh nailed it 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@rickywitherspoon2861]

How do they make a smartphone app but not include engine hours? Let me talk to that PM.

[@a74l_MX]

Basically all im hearing is Kawasaki is only Kawasucki for their 450s in recent years, and their 250s are the underdog top tiers.. dope!

[@robbo2859]

Couldn’t agree more. I’m looking for a kx250 at the moment. Not as easy to find as the 250f-450f

[@thomasrenfrow609]

That's why ya gotta have a pimped out 05 KX125 to go with the KX250F!

[@thomaswampler9039]

The home track lets go

[@Srstein84]

The “Tickle Touch” 😂😂

[@mikehudg2209]

Kx 250 my next bike

[@dominic9279]

What do you mean check suspension settings ? Explain why? And how? And what's the point?

[@eamh2002]

Is there some kind of soft limiter when revving higher or why does the bike sound like a 2-cylinder at high revs? You know what I mean with the sound right?

[@spacejaime]

Can't understand why Kawa could not get the KYB properly tuned when Yamaha has almost perfect suspension with the SSS KYB's.

[@shawntblin5423]

Yeah, I don’t get it. I bought a Stark Varg. It also has a KYB SPEC suspension, but it doesn’t come close to the Yamaha’s SSS. Valving must be on point for Yamaha.

[@Randy_Cox]

I love kawi. My 2022 bikes have been great. But the stock exhausts on all of them sound like garbage. Sounds like a 1990 Honda Civic with a fart can. Not that it matters as most guys are gonna buy new pipes anyway. Cool to see the changes and review.🔥 Keep up the good work.

[@charlesclapper8982]

In owners manual it says power map is when lights off ur saying its when lights on is that when u download a map ? That makes it that way?

[@suppercrossboy]

As a pro rider, I would love if you made a video full of tips on how to adjust your suspension and how adjusting all the different clickers will affect how the bike rides and what to do when you feel certain things

[@UnsungThermidor]

Keefer and Racer X did an entire article on this very topic and its extremely helpful.

[@pekafit478]

Where can I get the tickle map?!

[@abracing199]

I dont know if its possible to find a low hour 09 or something but it would be cool to see a comparison of a first gen FI 250f vs a modern 250f just to see how far weve come.

[@dylanp9211]

How many times do we all beg in the comments to have no music on these videos yet they continue to play shitty music while riding 😂😂😂 only time ill let it go cause this new 25 kawi sound's awfully weird not like they usually do, the new 25 yz250f and crf250r sound amazing this one sounds like its choking on fluid or something 😂

[@doughboi007]

KZbin identifies music playing in the background as a higher quality video, so the algorithm will suggest it at a higher rate because it believes it's worth watching more than a video without good editing and background music.

[@Moey.rahman]

Do the 2025 250cc shootout

[@dakotapettit4544]

I’m 6’2 205lbs. On a 23 yz250f but rode a buddy’s 21 kx250. Fit me super well for my size. Thinking about switching to this 25 KX. Are Kawi’s unreliable? That has me hesitant

[@killianseibel7331]

i have a 21 kx250xc and its been very reliable. hope this helps

[@dakotapettit4544]

@ awesome thanks

[@loganklavon7521]

I got a 23 kx250 and regret it especially as a beginner I’ve been having the hardest time cornering

[@jamest4162]

Same...I got a 21' KX250XC and it has been fall after fall. I spent two years riding on the street but I am totally unprepared for the dirt 😂

[@charlesclapper8982]

Does it need holes in air box cover

[@charlesclapper8982]

Whwre do i get tickle map

[@wenke29]

its on the video

[@charlesclapper8982]

In owners manual says.power map is when lights off but ur saying it's when lights on is that when u install a map??

[@seangavingregory4367]

"tickle map"

[@Saw-ds3ro]

How much horsepower does the 2025 make?

[@angelracing]

45

[@vagelisvrionis2852]

Kxf 250 2025 🙋💥🤝👏👍💙. 🇬🇷

[@christerstefansson3249]

The sound ❓️

[@amacoutdoors2076]

Now who else wants a KX350?

[@DavyGapasinNapat]

I wanna ride this so bad

[@phillippolack145]

awsomeness

[@dylanp9211]

This thing sounds awful compared to the new 25 yz250f or the crf250rs. Crazy. Sounds soooooo choked up or something

[@jacksargent1883]

Yz250f is the worst sounding bike by far

[@dylanp9211]

@jacksargent1883 not even close sounds amazing go watch its 25 review then come listen to this one.

[@justinwaite26]

Agreed..funny I don't know what makes that "huuuuuuuuuh" sound at higher rpm but 2006-2012ish yz250f used to make that same noise...sounds awful...I don't even like Yamahas but both 250 and 450 are the best sounding bikes in today's line up

[@jacksargent1883]

@@dylanp9211 I’m sorry yall are actually on something if you think that a stock yz 250f sounds good. Star bike sounds amazing but stock hell nah

[@denniswilder3014]

The engine cradle looks like a Cannondale

[@Jacobskibros]

Kawasaki read this. Exhaust looks good. Now you don't have to buy a pipe just to make it look good. Changing the name from kx250f to kx250 is confusing and unnecessary. Whoever made that cooperate decision would probably call the sport motor cross. Even if it had some positive effect on sales it was a dumb idea.

[@christerstefansson3249]

Why dosnt anyone talk about the new YZF 250 sound ? It sounds terreble

[@dylanp9211]

It sounds great, this kawi however sounds like a turd 💩

[@wenke29]

its airbox sound more about on the yzf 250. this is purely eexhaust , if you change it will be really better

[@skidjs]

The only reason you complain is because you and your Kawi are always behind the YZ.

[@dylanp9211]

@wenke29 this thing sounds like shit stock. Go watch the 25 yz250f review thing screams this sounds like a lawn mower

[@legitmind101]

If only they made two strokes. Wouldn’t ride anything else

[@Hobo_inutero]

I clicked on this video because I thought Kawasaki was making two strokes again but no.. it’s a 250f

[@Rambz1]

my ears every intro holy turn that shit down

[@D850X]

If Kawasaki really reads the comments; here ya go... Bring back normal sized/shaped side number plates.

[@OGLD]

No way bro. They look so clunky. Way better looking these days

[@jeffdacey4673]

What is normal sized number plates. I’m 43 and have seen all different styles of plastics and by far the newer bikes loook the best. Older bikes were just bulky and didn’t look sleek at all.

[@UnsungThermidor]

Speak for yourself, these look way better.

[@D850X]

​@OGLD I hear ya, I guess I'm just partial to full sized side plates from when I was younger. The newer ones all follow the KTM pattern where they are small like European bikes and have breaks in the plastic. Just a personal preference but I prefer when they were big enough for the number to be the same size as the front and were all one piece. Just a personal preference. Guess I'm just old like that :)

[@leefonda698]

Old school had character. All these new bikes looks basically the same.

[@Bill-es8ds]

Great video Josh,(MAM). The new 250 looks awesome,The only complaint I have with it is that raspie sound the exhaust makes.I know most will change the exhaust, I just don’t think u should have to spend thousands more, after paying close to 7500 for a 250.Im on the fence with the kawa & Yama. Both sound like (shit). U rode them both, I trust your judgement. Which way would u go? Green or blue?Thanks for sharing,👍👍✌️

[@DJDrewbster]

Sounds like shit…. Really?

[@dylanp9211]

The new Yamaha yz250f and crf250r sound amazing but I agree this new kawi sounds absolutely terrible sounds choked like a mf'er

[@leefonda698]

And the winner is ... 2025 KTM 250. This is the ktm fan boy channel.

[@AnonymousUser-eq1gk]

Need bigger exhaust.. bigger! bigger! more bigger! *sarcasm* .. thank god for aftermarket

[@AnonymousUser-eq1gk]

that exhaust is 1/5th of the bike

[@AnonymousUser-eq1gk]

and he says they made it smaller (shorter) .. damn thing is huge!

[@vwgtdturbo]

for me a real kx 250 had twostroke engine ,this had fake engine

[@OtisFlint]

ok boomer

[@AlienAI-69]

2 strokes are for people in motocross before the world turned into a bunch of pu$$ies.

[@marcozuffada]

heavy😅

[@IrisFields-e7o]

[@JaydenRutt]

First?

[@nickwestern600]

If its not a kx250 2 stroke its trash

[@rebeccastocker7193]

I bought my son a 2023 kx250. It's a piece of garbage

[@amikhael5135]

Could you explain ?

[@dakotapettit4544]

Yeah why’s that? Unreliable?

[@zackbohne6145]

Nice to see another track with real dirt. Test ur bikes at different tracks not just gwen heren 🥷

[@paulelm4645]

Wat does it have for HP

[@kalebkinder]

45 apparently.
