Name Kawasaki KXF450 (deposit only) Extended Description The KX450F package provides an excellent platform for experienced racers to win races in the top classes. The design of the highly rigid aluminium frame, suspension components and settings focused on delivering superb high-speed stability enable riders to push hard in all conditions. Awesome levels of traction and control to deliver holeshot-winning performance, a key factor that can mean the difference between running up front and winning, or getting stuck mid-pack. This really is a riders bike! To ensure Kawasaki racing riders and teams continue to keep on winning, the ’08 KX450F gets a number of tweaks – detailed changes that our factory riders were particular about on their own machines. To keep quick lap times in constantly changing conditions, whilst maintaining a rhythm is essential. How the engine responds to each blip of the throttle can make a huge difference. Our riders wanted more linear power delivery, so we increased crankshaft balance efficiency (to a level on par with James Stewart’s factory racer). The result was smoother power and greater low-rpm snap. While keeping high-speed straight-line stability a priority, chassis modifications are aimed at improving low-speed cornering and overall ride feel. New engine mounts fine-tune the chassis rigidity balance for better handling in low-speed corners, even more rear wheel traction and an overall lighter feel. In addition to the DLC coating on the fork inner tubes, a friction-reducing Kashima Coat on the inside of fork outer tubes and higher-precision slide metal give better suspension action. Revised suspension settings contribute to the enhanced ride feel and lower the overall posture of the bike. And to complement its factory-style tuning, the new KX450F gets the looks to match, with all new factory-style livery.
