2008 Kawasaki KLX140 Photo Gallery
We sent our newest test rider out to try her hand with Kawasaki's spankin' new KLX140 enduro. Check out our

Even at 115 pounds, our lightweight tester still found the bottom end of the KLX suspension package.
We spent time on the track and trails, but the KLX proved to be capable on both. Some mods will be necessary for serious pitbike bandits, but for the market segment it targets, the 140 is strong out of the box.

Each model has a conventional 33mm telescopic fork in the front that utilizes the same .49 kg/mm spring rate and non-adjustable damping and rebound settings.
The handlebar-mounted choke is a nice feature, but there are a lot of buttons and knobs attached up top.
The pipe has a plastic end cap which stays cool to the touch even after being revved and ridden for hours. Definitely a finger-saving feature for younger riders.
We're proud to introduce our newest recruit and MotoUSA's first female off-road test rider, Sequoyah Munroe.
The fully adjustable shock is definitely a high point, but the soft fork will be tough for adults.
Handling on the 140 is super easy to control and gives the little Kawi a boost in the fun department.
Railing the 140 is a blast with a strong set of wave-style disc brakes to keep things in check.
