Progressive Manual Clutch on the KLX140R F

High-Level Suspension
The new 2024 Kawasaki KLX140R F Dirt Bike features a suspension setup that helps absorb bumps on the track. The sturdy front and rear suspension fully complements the highly rigid frame. The new 33mm front forks come with spring rates and damping settings specific to each KLX140R model.
Furthermore, the rear shock features 5-way adjustable preload. Since the new 2024 Kawasaki KLX140R F Dirt Bike is likely to be ridden harder, the rear shock contains a piggyback reservoir, threaded preload, 4-way compression and 22-way rebound damping adjustments.

Full-Sized Wheels
Full-sized wheels are standard on the new 2024 Kawasaki KLX140R F Dirt Bike, enhancing handling and traction on irregular terrain. Additionally, larger wheels increase ground clearance, helping the dirt motorcycle navigate trail obstacles more easily.

Petal Disc Brakes
Unlike most dirt bikes with a disc/drum brake combination, the new 2024 Kawasaki KLX140R F Dirt Bike features disc brakes at the front and rear for improved braking performance. The new petal disc design reduces unsprung weight, while the new wave shape helps clean the brake pads and increases cooling efficiency for better braking performance.

Race-Inspired Ergonomics
The new rubber-mounted handlebar clamps decrease vibration transferred to the rider’s hands. The handlebar clamps are also separated from the upper triple clamp, thus making it easier to install aftermarket handlebars. An all-new KX-style handle grip with a half-waffle design helps provide better grip and smoother rider control. The dual-texture seat cover uses a slip-resistant top surface for better grip when seated and smooth sides for excellent mobility.
