Introduction
A popular youth ATV that lets parents
decide
The Kawasaki KFX®50 is a great starting point for beginning
ATV riders age six years and older. With its wide 27.6-inch stance,
full floorboards and environmentally friendly air-cooled, four-stroke
engine, the KFX50 delivers solid performance and stable handling
to provide a good foundation for young learners.
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.
The KFX50 has styling like that of the larger KFX models and
boasts features such as electric starting, single-shock swingarm
rear suspension, A-arm front suspension, dual front drum and
single rear disc brakes. The compact entry-level ATV also incorporates
full floorboards, which provide extra comfort and safety for
the rider.
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.
