2024 Kawasaki KLX 300 and 300SM Review

18 Jan 2024  |  adventuremotorcycle.com  |  English  |  Motorcycles

The 2024 Kawasaki KLX300 and KLX300SM were reviewed at the Blackmore Ranch facility, highlighting the 292cc motor's power upgrade, improved low-end torque, and beefed-up suspension. The dual-sport models offer three color options, while the SM offers two, including LED lamps but traditional turn indicators. Ergonomic improvements include a narrower stance and a well-laid-out dash, though the dash indicator can be confusing. The battery and coolant overflow bottle are strategically placed for better airflow and cooling. The SM model is praised for its agility and fun factor, with a shorter wheelbase and lower center of gravity. A minor drawback is the frequent valve check/adjustment recommended every 7,600 miles. Both models come with a one-year warranty and optional extended coverage. The review is a light overview, with more in-depth information available on Kawasaki's website.
