The advanced design of the aluminum perimeter frame and dominate the engine has received numerous improvements to help create a more compact chassis and powered by centralized mass usable energy, more than ever before. Measuring the charge technology, the KX450F has a brand new Launch Control mode that changes the parameters of DFI with the touch of a button to maximize traction out of the starting grid. This is achieved without sacrificing any of the growling mid-range or speed in a straight line that made the KX450F famous.

No other production motocross offers a higher degree of interface control driver or engine character that the new KX450F 2012. With a choice of four different positions controlled, two-position footrest, and two plug-in optional parameters DFI (plus almost unlimited mapping capabilities with the use of DFI Accessories Kawasaki Racing Kit software) - thanks to its injection advanced digital fuel (DFI ®) system - KX450F is only capable of adapting to track and surface conditions and meet the needs of a surprisingly wide range of riders.

Kick it over and the new ECU does a masterful job of communicating with the KX but not without your participation. Using the supplied DFI couplers, riders can quickly and easily access their choice of three cards (standard, hard or soft) according to monitor conditions.

But perhaps the most interesting addition to the new 2012 Kawasaki KX450F is using the launch control of the world for the first time on a motorcycle MX. Turns at the touch of a button mounted on the handlebars, the Launch Control system, similar to the Kawasaki factory riders, the engine independent asset card in order to ensure efficient implementation will begin in slippery conditions.
