With confident handling, the KLX140RL motorcycle is the ideal entry into off-road riding. The larger wheels on the KLX140RL provide more ground clearance and a taller seat height, making it ideal for taller riders. The easy-to-ride KLX140R series models offer a 144 cc engine, plush suspension and a push button electric start, making them great trailblazers.
^Curb weight includes all necessary materials and fluids to operate correctly, full tank of fuel (more than 90 percent capacity) and tool kit (if supplied).
The air-cooled, 144cc single-cylinder engine offers a lightweight power plant that is both simple to operate and to maintain, and reliable. The 5-speed transmission and the manual clutch are easy-to-operate by young riders if moving up from auto clutch models. The KLX140 push button electric start and engine run-off controls are on the left handlebar.
The aluminium swingarm on the KLX140 offers both light weight and increased strength. Like those on our KX machines, it features a hairline finish. KX racing-type chain adjusters allow precise adjustment of chain slack, helping to minimise drivetrain power transfer loss. KX-style wheels with strong, high-grade die-cast hubs offer the same durability as those found on our KX racers.
The lightweight box-section perimeter frame is made from high-tensile steel for exceptional rigidity and strength. The narrow profile contributes to an easier rider grip and smoother movement on the bike. Working together, the highly capable suspension and lightweight chassis deliver handling that exudes confidence.
33 mm telescopic front forks on the KLX140 are matched to the Uni-Trak rear suspension featuring a 5-way preload adjustable rear shock absorber for superb handling and offroad ability.
The KLX140RL wheels are 19” diameter front and 16” diameter rear for a low seat height. Larger than kid’s bikes, and smaller and lighter than “full-size” play bikes, these KLX’s are a perfect fit for youths. The seat height 800 mm is a nice compromise between the smaller kids bikes and full-size machines.
