  • * Update: Since recording the video Kawasaki changed the name from Kx450 Xc to the new name of Kx450 X.
    Trent goes over what Kawasaki did to the KX450 to make the NEW X model and why it would make it the perfect bike for a lot of riders in the West. With this exciting new addition to the XC range of bikes, Kawasaki has a winner on their hands and one that is sure to match up well against the Yamaha, Honda, KTM and Husqvarna XC offerings.
    From Kawasaki: When it comes to KX™ motorcycles, winning runs in the family. The all-new KX™450X motorcycle is powered by technology that hails from a legacy of champions and tuned to take on the toughest terrain. Get the off-road edge on the bike built to ride ahead of the rest. The KX™450X motorcycle is built to meet the tough demands of cross-country racing. Cross-country wheels (F21"/R18") are paired with specific Dunlop Geomax AT81 tires developed for GNCC racing. A factory-style skid plate and a convenient side stand both come as standard equipment.

    Great video guys, but the main complaint I have with this bike and the RX models from Honda in terms of the desert side is no wide ratio gearbox. Yamaha was the only one to do that so far. The close ratio is good for GNCC, WORCS AND GP racing but in the open desert you will have to gear it taller which will affect your slower technical areas. And its lacking a better bigger skid plate which is crucial for offroad. Just something I noticed.

    I want one.(2023 model). But I need it to also be the best bike for a timbersled kit. MX 450' bikes are the best for that. So how easy is it to change it back to mx mapping to have full power?
    Are the transmissions on both bikes the same? Both close ratio?

    - Softer suspension components
    - Kickstand
    - 18" rear wheel
    - Different tires
    - Mapping & timing more linear
    - 51 tooth rear sprocket

    What the difference between the kx450xc vs the other cross country kx450x? 2021 seems to have both the X and XC.

    Nice bike specs analysis. But a bigger tank and a really luminous headlight would be appreciated, thanks. I didn't hear, does it have electric start? That be nice !

      It is Electric Start. Hopefully Kawasaki Puts out another model with the light and bigger tank soon.

    Now this is interesting , I understand that kawasaki changed the model to kx450x instead of the xc, do they still sell the xc because I haven’t seen one with that

    • @rexburgms
      @rexburgms  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The First one that our dealership saw was marked as a XC but the ones since then have come in as X models. So there will be a couple XC models floating around out there.

    Bought a new 450kx xc maybe rode for 30mins and now it has a ticking sound. Any idea what that could be? The bike runs great just worried on the sound. I see most post on this issue are its normal, because of the new finger system.
