Howdy everyone.

I just spotted in the Rider magazine that showed up this weekend that there's going to be an American released D-Tracker, called the KLX250-SF, if I recall correctly.

Black 17" wheels, black plastics, otherwise, looks the same as KLX250S.

..and its heavier. The specs say 310 lbs. I find it hard to believe that the addition of inverted forks and sport bike tires can be that heavy

 

The KLX250'S' has always had inverted forks (06 - 09). Yeah, I doubt the wheels and tires would add that much weight.

Maybe Kawi messed-up and actuall released the correct weight. They have been known to be one of the worst offenders when it comes to fudging downward on bike weights.

 

I think the 09 is heavier for sure!




FREE BUMP!

 

Yeah i noticed the bike on the kawasaki site the other week:

and the specs:

Sat on one the other day. It looks way smaller. It's definitely a lot lower. The front rotor is HUUUGE! It looks pretty slick. I wonder what the new gearing is like.

 

Its heavier 4 sure

Footpegs with the rubber

The mirrors

The front brake disc

And the rims appear to be an inch wider at least...

A different rear coil shock as well

Yeah that shifter looked chintzy! Definitely more firm shock.

 

Yeah, the spring rates are firmer on the new D-trackers. My 2006 was way too soft in front, but Moto pro valves and springs took care of that. It's nice that the suspension on the new ones is pretty much set-up for motard out of the box. ...why aren't there more smileys available in this forum?

 

Maybe we'll start seeing them show up on the flat track race circuit.
