Kawasaki has announced the Australian release of the 2014 KX450F and KX250F with both models currently making their way into Kawasaki dealerships across the country.

Displaying many features developed by Ryan Villopoto and other top factory racers, the new 2014 KX250F and KX450F have been further refined and updated to deliver race winning ability and season-long durability.

For the KX250F, the headline news for the coming year is the addition of electronic launch control, a feature that will make it stand out in the MX2 paddock.

Established as a hole-shot grabber for the KX450F, the addition of the simple to use left handlebar push-button feature for the 250cc machine adds an ever greater layer of desirability to the already highly successful package.

New too for the KX250F are front engine mount revisions for better front wheel grip, new handlebar grips, modifications to the gear selector and gearbox selector dogs and revised settings for the Showa SFF fork and rear suspension settings.

What remains is the power and traction advantage of dual fuel injectors allied to a straight inlet tract plus the ability to change engine map settings trackside with the aid of three plug and play options for normal, soft and hard pack tracks.

For riders who want to further fine-tune their mount – or look at several hours of recorded machine data – the optional factory Fi calibration kit will again be available for both the KX250F and KX450F making them among the most tuneable and easy to re-map machines in the paddock.

Changes to the incoming KX450F include revised settings on the highly adjustable PSF pneumatic fork remains a key feature of the 450F and so too does the electronic launch control mode.

Plus the bridge bottom piston technology both of which were developed by factory Kawasaki teams in the white heat of MX1 and Supercross competition.

Both 2014 models are available at the same MY13 recommended retail price of $11,999 for the KX450F and $10,999 for the KX250F, head to your local dealer now or check out www.kawasaki.com.au for more information.
