2006 Kawasaki KLX300R
The ideal off-road motorcycle should combine tractable power with a comfortable chassis that can handle challenging trails.
Enter the KLX™300R. With its liquid-cooled four-stroke engine, perimeter frame and plush suspension, this Kawasaki gives off-road riders the balance of power and handling they want.
Designed to be ultra-compact, the KLX300R’s liquid-cooled 292cc engine features dual overhead cams activating four valves atop an Electrofusion-coated aluminum cylinder, which is wear resistant. The engine is wrapped in a high-tensile steel perimeter frame based on the design of Kawasaki’s championship-winning KX™ motocross bikes. A 26.5-degree steering angle and shorter wheelbase contribute to quick handling characteristics.
The KLX300R comes fully loaded with equipment to handle the rigors of trail riding, and is covered by a six-month limited warranty. Standard items include headlight and taillight, odometer, sidestand, hand guards, snail-type chain adjusters for quick rear-wheel removal and quick adjustment of the O-ring chain, a U.S. Forest Service-approved spark arrestor, and a large fuel tank with reserve petcock.

Features
Ultra-compact 292cc Liquid-cooled, Four-stroke Single
– Lightweight piston and connecting rod allow power-producing revs
– Liquid cooling for even-running temperatures, longer engine life and consistent power on hot days
Double Overhead Cams
– A cam lobe for each valve with shim-under tappets has less reciprocating weight for efficiency at high rpm
Electrofusion Cylinder
– Incredibly hard coating in the aluminum cylinder provides superior heat transfer with less weight
– Holds lubrication, resists abrasion and seizure, and allows tighter clearances for more horsepower
Kawasaki Automatic Compression Release (KACR)
– KACR provides quick, easy starts
Four-valve Cylinder Head
– Provides maximum valve area for optimum flow
– Boosts low-end torque
34mm Semi-flat Slide CVK Carburetor
