2017 Kawasaki KFX ATV Model Range

May 2016 Powersport News

Everyone is looking for the fun of riding and the Kawasaki KFX ATV family offers two entry-level models for novices.

The KFX ATV has a number of features aimed at helping riders gain ATV riding experience at lower speeds. These ATVs are a great way for new riders to gain riding experience and offer the introductory step into a lifetime of fun in the powersports industry.

Kawasaki KFX 90

Featuring an air-cooled 89cc single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine, the KFX 90 gives budding riders the ability to grow into the KFX ATV family.

Special  controls include a keyed ignition to help address unsupervised starting as well as speed controls including a throttle-limiting screw to restrict throttle movement and a collar in the CVT transmission that can be easily removed to increase speed as the rider gains experience, allowing the KFX 90 to grow with the rider.

With a convenient electric starter, the KFX 90 ATV is easy to start while also having a kickstarter available as a back up. It features a wide stance for greater stability and handling, as well as two front drum brakes and a rear disc brake, which are both activated by handlebar-mounted brake levers. The KFX 90 also has full floorboards for secure foot placement, as well as a tail light to help other riders spot the vehicle when it is in use.

Kawasaki KFX 50

The KFX 50 ATV is the starting place for many first-time ATV riders. Featuring a 49.5cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that delivers smooth power, predictable performance and rock-solid reliability, it packs a lot of fun into a small package.

The KFX 50 has all the features you need on a mini ATV, including an electric start, a smooth CVT transmission that allows engine braking, two front drum brakes and a rear disc brake, which are activated by handlebar-mounted brake levers. It also features special controls including keyed ignition, a throttle screw and a CVT collar to help provide more control over vehicle usage and performance.

The KFX 50 is a fun, predictable vehicle designed with new riders in mind. With its sporty ATV looks including the distinctive Lime Green color scheme, full floorboards and a wide, stable stance, the KFX 50 makes for a great introduction into riding.

Like all Kawasaki ATVs, it comes with a 12-month limited factory warranty, which can be extended by up to another 48 months with the optional Kawasaki Protection Plus Plan.
