STEADY POWER
GO PLAY
The KLX230 dual-purpose motorcycle is powered by a 233 cc fuel-injected, air-cooled single engine, tuned for low- to mid-range power.
STEADY POWER
Smooth, Reliable, Durable
The compact and lightweight engine delivers easy-to-use low- to mid-range torque ideal for trail riding. ECU tuning results in high-altitude power delivery and quicker throttle response in cold temperatures.
The smooth-shifting six-speed transmission offers a wide range of on-road riding conditions and makes for a more comfortable ride on the road and on trails.

STEADY POWER
Electric start and fuel injection ensure hassle-free performance regardless of altitude or air temperature, while contributing to clean emissions.

RUGGED CHASIS
BUILT TOUGH
The engine and chassis are designed together to make the KLX230 as agile and light as possible.


RUGGED CHASIS
The high-tensile perimeter frame, short wheelbase, and low seat height offer the handling needed for confident trail riding across a wide range of riders and environments. The KLX230 S offers a seat height of 830 mm versus 875 mm on the KLX230 SE.

RUGGED CHASIS
A combination of form and function, the frame, seat, and tank are designed to provide easier grip for the rider, offering superior chassis control. The seams between the shroud, seat, and side covers are flat, allowing for freedom of movement when changing riding positions.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY
beyond the road
Designed from the ground up for fun. That’s why the KLX230 features long-travel suspension, front and rear disc brakes, and full-size wheels.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY
The long-travel suspension, featuring an ø37 mm front fork and a Uni Trak single-shock rear suspension, absorbs impacts—contributing to ride comfort and control on bumps and rough roads.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY
Petal disc brakes offer reliable stopping power, with dual-piston calipers gripping a ø240 mm* disc at the front and a ø220 mm disc at the rear.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE CAPABILITY
Full-size aluminum wheels measuring 21” in the front and 18” in the rear allow for confident riding and handling on a variety of terrain.

DUAL-SPORT CAPABILITY
Take on the Street and Dirt
Designed for the trail and tuned for street versatility, let the KLX230 take you to new heights with on- and off-road capability.


DUAL-SPORT CAPABILITY
The new compact LED headlight provides excellent illumination at night or in low-light conditions. A new headlight cover and new front fender contribute to a sportier and more aggressive styling.

DUAL-SPORT CAPABILITY
The all-digital instrument panel offers at-a-glance information via a large, easy-to-read LCD display. Features include a speedometer, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel gauge, clock, and indicator lights.

DUAL-SPORT CAPABILITY
The toolbox is located in a lockable compartment under the left side cover. Both the ignition and the side cover panel lock are operated by the Kawasaki One Key System.

KLX230 S
More Riders, More Fun
The reduced seat height on the KLX230 S allows more riders to take on off-road trails with confidence.
KLX230 S
The KLX230 S expands the riding experience, allowing more riders to experience the thrill of dual-sport riding thanks to its lower seat height of 830 mm (compared to 885 mm on the standard model).

KLX230 SE
SPECIAL EDITION MODEL
The KLX230 SE is also available with original colors and graphics, an inverted front fork, and a number of standard accessories.


KLX230 SE
