Summary

Key Features

Easy Starting Digital Fuel Injected Engine

High-performance digital fuel injection system for improved low-end response and smooth power delivery.

New FIM Approved Muffler

Revised silencer internals meet strict noise regulations, ensuring compliance with 2m-max noise standards.

Adjustable Uni-Trak Suspension System

Allows for precise rear suspension tuning with longer stroke and adjustable damping for improved traction.

High-Performance Digital Fuel Injected Engine

Factory-racer engine tuning

High-performance piston design contributes to improved performance and lighter, stronger piston.

Improved Shift Feeling

Changes to the shift mechanism provide a firmer feeling when gears engage.

Battery-less fuel injection system

Lightweight ECU operates without a battery, eliminating unnecessary weight and simplifying starting.

NEW New Fuel Injection ECU

Revised ECU programme and ignition circuit improve low-rpm response and lengthen spark duration.

NEW Reduced noise

Pinched cut-outs in silencer chambers direct exhaust gases to reduce noise.

KX FI Calibration Kit (option)

How to use the KX FI Calibration Kit

Simple and hassle-free use: ECU mounts behind number plate, connects via USB to PC for adjustments.

Industry-leading features

Seven preset settings, 6 hours of data logging, and choice of 2D or 3D display.

Lighter-handling chassis

Frame Rigidity Balance

Revised rigidity balance results in a frame with moderate lateral flex for lighter turning.

Front Axle Collars

Larger diameter front axle collars increase rigidity, contributing to a more planted front wheel feel.

Superior rear wheel traction

Uni-Trak Rear Suspension System

Longer suspension stroke and precise tuning allow for improved rear wheel traction.

FACTORY-STYLE CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND TUNING

Chassis Construction and Tuning

Slim aluminium perimeter frame with forged, extruded, and cast parts, tuned for race-experienced riders.

Chassis Fine-Tuning for 2011

Revisions improve turning, rear wheel traction, front wheel feel, and cornering accuracy.

Race-oriented suspension

Kayaba AOS Fork

Air-Oil-Separate fork for stable damping, low-friction seals, and lighter internals.

Fork Tube Coatings

DLC coating reduces sliding friction; Kashima Coat enhances smoothness at stroke start.

Additional Information

Optional Engine Parts

Magneto rotors with different inertias available.

Optional Chassis Parts

Handlebar holders, rear sprockets, and brake rotors available.

Optional Front Fork and Rear Shock Springs

Different spring rates available for front forks and rear shocks.

FI Indicator Lamp

Optional indicator lamp warns of problems with the FI system.
