User manual KAWASAKI KFX450R MONSTER ENERGY DATASHEET 2009

[. . . ] The aluminum frame is both lightweight and rigid, plus it's designed for superb handling and to allow the KFX450R to maximize traction KFX450R without wasted wheelspin. Kawasaki made the KFX450R race-ready so that extensive, and expensive, modifications are unnecessary to put it ahead of the pack. Key Features: X X X X High-performance, 4-Stroke Engine Derived from the KX450F Digital Fuel Injection Reverse Gear Aluminum Frame High Performance 4-Stroke Engine Based on the World Supercross Championship winning KX450F. [. . . ] The adjuster also eliminates the possibility of vibration resulting from a loose camchain. Liquid Cooling System · High-capacity Denso radiator features tightly spaced cores and a special fin design for enhanced heat dispersion. · Radiator profile is greatly reduced. · Separate oil filter/water pump cover allows for easy oil filter maintenance. Lightweight Exhaust System · Light weight titanium head pipe with heat shield improves exhaust efficiency over a greater rpm than straight tubing. · Muffler packing is thick and has long fibers to extend intervals between muffler packing. The silencer core bolt-on silencer provides easy access for changing the packing. X X · · · · · · · · · · · Digital Fuel Injection Using sensors for water temperature, air intake temperature and pressure, engine speed and throttle position, the fuel injection system automatically meters the ideal amount of fuel for consistent power delivery. Provides sharp engine response for instant acceleration when landing from jumps. Easier start-up provides an edge in competitions with dead-engine starts. Extremely light throttle pull reduces rider fatigue. · · 4-Valve Cylinder Head · Valves are coated with an oxidized membrane treatment to resist wear. · Dual, progressive, valve springs help ensure reliable valve control and reduce cylinder head height. Multi-Map Digital Ignition · High speed 32-bit CPU provides precise engine management. · Lost spark control smooths over-rev power by precisely cutting spark as the engine nears redline. Spark gradually starts tapering off approximately 1000 rpm before the rev limiter is reached so that power does not abruptly cut-out when the rev limiter is activated, like conventional systems. · Gear position sensor aids starting and provides precise spark control. KFX450R X 5-Speed Transmission With Reverse · The first reverse gear in the class allows the rider to back away from obstacles without having to dismount, saving time and energy. · Reverse is locked-out so the rider cannot accidently activate the gear. A compact reverselock release lever is activated with the right thumb, allowing the rider to engage reverse while still holding the front brake, if necessary. · Engine tuned for wide engine powerband to optimize gear ratios. Electric Start · Push-button starter makes firing the engine easy. [. . . ] · The front headlight assembly can be easily removed for racing. Authentic Kawasaki Accessories · See the current applicable Kawasaki accessory catalog or ZZZNDZDVDNLFRPDX for all of the latest authentic Kawasaki accessories available for this model. X All-Aluminum Chassis · The frame, sub-frame and swingarm are all formed from lightweight aluminum, making the KFX450R the first in its class to have an allaluminum chassis, which is approximately 20 percent lighter than a steel frame. · Highly rigid frame and low center of gravity contribute to excellent stability in corners.
