Freeman/Mccue Public Relations Contact: Kawasaki Media Relations 949-770-0400 ext. 2777 [email protected] www.kawasaki.com 2016 KAWASAKI KX™ MODEL RANGE The Kawasaki KX™ family of motocross bikes is the breeding ground for champions. The proof began in 1974, when the first KX450, KX250 and KX125 were unveiled in the US. Since then, Kawasaki has been a dominant force in the history of supercross and motocross racing. We build the bikes that make champions. Look no further than four-time supercross champion, Ryan Villopoto who is one of the most successful riders of all time, and is continuing his winning ways on the world stage in the FIM Motocross World Championship. Riding the KX450F, Villopoto is proof that the best way to start a championship run is on a Kawasaki. Amateur racers who purchase a Kawasaki KX motocross bike gain access to Team Green™ – Kawasaki’s industry-leading support program that has been around since 1981 and has helped many motocross/supercross stars move through the program. Team Green’s Trackside Support program covers more than 50 local, regional, and national amateur motocross and off-road events across the country, where Kawasaki technicians and race transporters provide emergency parts, technical assistance and racing tips to all Kawasaki riders. For the 2016 Model Year, the KX450F is an all-new model and can be reviewed separately in its own press release. Below is a look at the details and highlights of the rest of the Kawasaki KX family. 2016 Kawasaki KX™ press release, page 1 of 5 KAWASAKI KX™ 250F Receiving several upgrades for Model Year 2016, the KX250F motorcycle continues to be a popular choice for amateur riders as well as the professionals – with more riders winning races on a Kawasaki KX250F than any other 250cc four-stroke in its class. It comes with a host of technology to help the rider succeed, including a Launch Control mode that enhances traction off the line by temporarily retarding ignition to help riders get the holeshot. The system features dual injectors for the Digital Fuel Injection (DFI®), with a downstream injector for smooth response and the upstream injector for hard-hitting power. The rider can be tune the system using one of three supplied DFI couplers. Each creates a different power delivery to suit different tracks. And these can be further tuned with the optional handheld Kawasaki KX FI Calibration Kit that is new for the 2016 Model Year. This device allows users to create engine maps, or use the stored maps, allowing the rider to find the best setting for their favorite tracks. To exploit the powerful engine, the KX250F motorcycle has a 48mm Showa Separate Function Fork (SFF), which utilizes the left fork tube to carry the damping assembly, with the spring contained in the right tube. This combination allows a balance of precision movement, smooth action and firm damping to deal with small bumps or giant jumps. The design provides easily adjustable preload to tune the front-end feel. Additionally, the KX250F uses an oversized 270mm petal-shape front brake rotor, giving the rider powerful but controllable braking. As an industry first in the 250 class, the KX250F has two-position, adjustable footpeg brackets that allow the rider to lower the position by 5mm, thereby lowering the center of gravity. It also has a four-way adjustable upper triple clamp with two mounting holes for the 180-degree rotatable handlebar clamps. These offer the rider the choice of four bar positions, including 25mm forward, 15mm forward, standard or 10mm back. The result is the ultimate ergonomic adjustment for riders of many sizes and styles.

It has the same heritage as Kawasaki’s bigger motocross bikes and is able to get it done on the track thanks to handlebar adjustment to ensure the rider is in the best position to win. Therefore, it is the natural step from smaller dirt bike before the rider is ready to move onto a full-size motocross bike. The single-cylinder engine has a Nikasil-coated cylinder and two-piece KIPS® (Kawasaki Integrated Powervalve System) valve among its arsenal of power-producing parts. It also has a large-capacity radiator to keep things cool in the heat of a race. As you’d expect from the Kawasaki KX family, the chassis is highly competitive, using race-style petal-shaped brake rotors front and rear. It also has a 36mm inverted front fork with 20-way adjustable compression damping and 10.8” of travel. The rear suspension uses Kawasaki’s Uni-Trak® linkage for enhanced operation. The rear shock has 24-way compression and 21-way rebound damping, plus adjustable spring preload and the same 10.8” of travel.

It boasts many of Kawasaki’s winning technologies to get the rider onto the podium, and looks the part with its factory race-inspired styling. 2016 Kawasaki KX™ press release, page 3 of 5 It all starts with ensuring the rider is comfortable and in control, providing efficient damping at both ends to keep the tires tracking. The rider can easily reposition on the flat and narrow seat, helping to set up the bike for corners and jumps alike. It also has an adjustable handlebar to help with overall comfort and rider position. The two-stroke, single-cylinder 85cc engine receives the advanced KIPS powervalve system for a wide powerband and ultimate reliability to keep the rider in the winner’s circle.

This is where it gets real, with a six-speed transmission, plenty of get-up and go, solid stopping power and great handling. The liquid-cooled, two-stroke 65cc engine means the KX65 has power to get the rider out of the corners and down the straights to the checkered flag. It can soak up the bumps with its 33mm fork with four-way rebound damping adjustment, while the rear features Kawasaki’s Uni-Trak single-shock system with adjustable rebound damping and fully adjustable spring preload.

  • 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2™R
    Contact: Kawasaki Media Relations 949-770-0400 ext. 2777 [email protected] www.kawasaki.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2015 KAWASAKI NINJA H2™R Built Beyond Belief The launching point for the development of the Ninja H2™R motorcycle was a strong desire to offer riders something they had never experienced before. Convinced that an extraordinary riding experience would not be found by merely building on the performance of existing models, the design team committed to developing the “ultimate motorcycle” from a clean slate. The bike needed to deliver intense acceleration and ultra-high top speed, coupled with supersport-level circuit performance. To realize this goal, help was enlisted from other companies within the Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) group, precipitating an unprecedented level of collaboration. Developing the Ninja H2R as a closed-course model allowed the unadulterated pursuit of performance, free from the limitations that street riding would impose. The result was a new model offering a sensory experience surpassing anything else that riders can find today. The Ninja H2R is powered by a supercharged engine with a compact design on par with powerplants found in liter-class supersport models. The key to achieving its incredible performance lies in the engine’s supercharger, which is a motorcycle-specific unit designed completely in-house with technology from Kawasaki’s Gas Turbine & Machinery Company, Aerospace Company and Corporate Technology Division. 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R, page 1 of 21 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2015 KAWASAKI NINJA

  • Simply Smashing Samurai
    Contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kawasaki Media Relations 949-770-0400 ext. 2777 [email protected] www.kawasaki.com Simply Smashing Samurai On a blustery day back in 1966, the 250cc A1 Samurai demolished the Open Production field to win Kawasaki’s first road race. IRVINE, Calif. (April 22, 2016) – Nearly 50 years ago, the 250cc A1 Samurai motorcycle won Kawasaki’s first-ever U.S. road race at California’s Willow Springs Raceway in dramatic fashion. And that’s because racer Jim Deehan and the Samurai didn’t just beat a field of 250cc lightweights, it beat the entire field of 250cc through Open Production bikes – literally the best and fastest streetbikes available at the time. From Honda to Suzuki to Triumph, on November 6, 1966, the Samurai vanquished them all in its very first competition outing. Here’s how it happened. Attracting over 160 entries, the third annual U.S. Grand Prix at Willow Springs featured multiple classes from 50cc to 500 Grand Prix, and from 50cc to Open Production, plus sidecars – literally the entire range of motorcycle classes. Known today as “The Fastest Road in the West,” Willow’s sweeping turns, long straightaways and hardscrabble setting make it a serious track favoring high horsepower and brave pilots, and punishing those who stray offline and into the gritty desert. Frequently, unsettling winds and temperature swings add to the challenges. And so it was that Deehan, a talented road racer and Kawasaki technician, took up the challenge to race multiple classes at Willow Springs on an overcast and breezy Sunday.
