Kawasaki KX450F


    2007 Kawasaki KX450F Specifications:Engine: Liquid-cooled, four-stroke single with DOHC and four valves Displacement: 449cc Bore x stroke: 96.0 x 62.1mm Compression ratio: 12.0:1 Carburetion: Keihin FCR40

    When Kawasaki was initially developing the KX450F it was vastly different machine from the final 2006 production bike. Basically what it boiled down to is that the aluminum backbone frame was either too stiff or flexed too much. Kawi tried countless versions of the backbone chassis, but could never find that elusive sweet spot to blend rigidity and flex into the perfect combination. From the chassis troubles stemmed a host of other problems that played part in holding the Kawi back. For one, the engine sat at a more horizontal angle, leaning toward the front of the bike. As a result the prototype felt top heavy in corners and had more engine braking than engineers wanted.
