Introduction
Powerful and stylish, this V-twin
powered machine is built for fun
The KFX®700 all-terrain vehicle (ATV) continues to be a hit
with off-roaders for obvious reason. It's the winning formula
of Kawasaki's powerful V-twin engine and automatic transmission
coupled with a racing-style chassis, which adds up to a sport
ATV offering aggressive all-day riding that is fun and easy for
a wide range of riders.
At the heart of the KFX700's appeal is its engine. The liquid-cooled,
697cc, four-stroke, 90-degree V-twin is matched to a performance-tuned
continuously variable automatic transmission. The combination
eliminates shifting concerns because it's in the optimum powerband
at all times. This allows the rider to focus even more attention
on choosing good lines, whether it's on the race track or trail.
Other features include shaft drive, powerful dual front disc
brakes and Kawasaki's sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake
system. The KFX700 also features a single lower front frame tube
designed using lessons learned from cross-country ATV racing
to increase suspension travel and improve handling.
Up front the dual A-arms feature 9.3 inches of travel while providing
optimum handling with minimal "tire scrub" during up-and-down
suspension travel. Rear suspension duties are handled by an alloy
swingarm with a piggy-back reservoir shock and 7.9 inches of
travel. The KFX700 is shod with the ITP® Holeshot® tires
to gain maximum traction and maneuverability.
Rounding out the features list on the KFX700 are sport-style
serrated footpegs, a protective engine skid plate and powerful
45-watt headlights.
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.
