For many families and their
friends, riding all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) is both
a passion and a social activity, so the Kawasaki KFX®50
is an excellent model for parents who want to introduce
their children to this lifestyle while teaching them
how to ride safely and responsibly.
Designed for riders ages six
and older, the KFX50 ATV offers the simplicity of
operation that helps adults teach children the important
fundamentals of proper and responsible ATV control.
At the same time, the KFX50 is easy to maintain, so
families can spend more time riding the trails together
rather than wrenching in the garage.
The KFX50 ATV is powered by
an air-cooled 49cc, two-stroke engine that features
automatic oil injection, so premixing fuel is unnecessary.
Safety features include a removable power plate in
the exhaust and a throttle limiting screw so parents
can regulate speed, as well as a walk-behind ignition
cut-off tether that stops the engine at the parents
discretion. As a added safety feature, the parking
brake must be applied in order to start the engine.
The engine rides in a steel
frame and power is transferred to the rear wheels
by lightweight chain drive. Suspension duties are
handled by dual A-arm front suspension with dual shocks
and a single-shock swingarm on the rear, while stopping
power is provided by front and rear drum brakes.
Other KFX50 features include
full floorboards for confidence and safety, one-piece
seven-inch wheels, and a simple seat latch that provides
quick and easy access to the air cleaner.
Available in Kawasaki Lime
Greena kid favoritethe KFX50 ATV comes
with a six-month warranty that can be extended up
to three additional years.
As with all off-highway vehicle
recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride
responsibly and to respect the environment. Kawasaki
will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100
for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted
by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers
can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.
