STEADY POWERGO PLAY
The KLX®230 dual-sport lineup is powered by a 233cc fuel-injected, air-cooled single cylinder engine, tuned for low- to mid-range power.
The high-tensile steel perimeter frame, short wheelbase and low seat height offer the handling needed for confident trail riding for a wide range of riders and environments.
The KLX®230 features a seat height of 34.8-inch vs. 32.7-inches on the KLX®230 S.
A combination of form and function, the frame, seat and tank were designed to give riders an easier grip, offering superior chassis control. Seams between the shrouds, seat and side covers are flush, which facilitates freedom of movement when changing riding positions.

RUGGED CHASSISBUILT TOUGH
The engine and chassis were designed together to make the KLX®230 as agile and lightweight as possible.
Long-travel suspension, featuring a 37mm front fork and Uni-Trak® single-shock rear suspension, soaks up bumps, contributing to ride comfort and control on bumpy streets and rough trails.
Petal disc brakes add even more stopping power, with a twin-piston caliper gripping a 240mm disc in the front and a 220mm disc in the rear.
Full-size aluminum wheels measuring 21-inches in the front and 18-inches in the rear allow for confident riding and handling over varied terrain.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAPABILITYBEYOND THE ROAD
Designed from the ground up for dirt fun. That’s why the KLX®230 dual-sport features long-travel suspension, front and rear disc brakes and full-size wheels.

Designed to assist stopping performance on low-friction surfaces, this ABS system will offer reassurance to both new and experienced riders. Switch operated rear brake ABS cancel function facilitates more active off-road sport riding performance.
A new, compact LED headlight provides excellent illumination at night or in low light conditions. A new headlight cowling and new front fender contribute to sportier, more aggressive styling. An all-digital instrument panel offers at-a-glance information care of a large, easy-to-read LCD display screen.
Features include: speedometer, odometer, dual-trip meters, fuel gauge, clock, and indicator lamps.
A toolbox is located inside a lockable compartment under the left side cover. Both the ignition and side cover panel lock are operated with the Kawasaki One Key System.

DUAL-SPORT CAPABILITYTAKE ON THE STREET AND DIRT
Designed for the trails and tuned for on-road versatility, let the KLX®230 lineup take you to new heights with on- and off-road capability.
The KLX®230 S features a shorter, two-stage front suspension with 6.2 inches of travel. The front forks are shorter, and work with shorter dual-stage springs with a firmer spring rate. Combined with reduced rear suspension travel (6.6 inches), this helps lower the seat height by 2.2 inches.
