2008 Kawasaki KFX50 Mini ATV Info

Introduction

The KFX®50 is the perfect ATV for beginning riders age six years and older. The KFX50 combines an environmentally friendly air-cooled four-stroke engine with a wide 27.6-inch stance for solid performance and stable handling, especially important for young riders. The stable KFX50 also incorporates full floorboards that provide extra comfort for the rider.

Though it is a compact entry level ATV, the KFX50 boasts features such as electric starting, single-shock swingarm rear suspension, A-arm front suspension, dual front drum and single rear disc brakes, much like the styling and features found on the larger KFX models.

An adjustable throttle stop, CVT transmission speed limiter and lanyard safety switch allow the rider's confidence and skill levels to increase while parental control is maintained. Once riders are confident enough to operate the KFX50 on their own, parents can still maintain control over its operation, thanks to the keyed ignition which helps to prevent unauthorized use.

Authentic Kawasaki Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers.

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.
