Overview
The 2026 Kawasaki KLX 250S is a dual-sport motorcycle with a 249 cm³, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine producing 25 Nm of torque. It weighs 135 kg.
Its 889 mm seat is tall, while 284 mm of ground clearance helps clear obstacles.

Pros and cons
Advantages

Things to consider
Tall seat
At 889 mm, the seat may make it difficult for shorter riders to put both feet down.
Small fuel tank

Chain upkeep
The sealed chain still needs cleaning and lubrication.
