The Kawasaki KLX140 is one of the most useful beginner motorcycles for riders looking to to enjoy their Day in the Dirt with us.
California Motocross School uses the KLX140 because its combination of manageable power, manual clutch, comfortable chassis and relatively low seat height creates an excellent platform for learning proper dirt bike technique.
The standard KLX140 has a 144cc air-cooled four-stroke engine, five-speed manual transmission, electric start and a 30.7-inch seat height.
Recommended rider age: Approximately 15 years old through adult
Recommended rider height: Approximately 5'3"–6'1"
Seat height: 30.7 inches on the standard KLX140R
Engine: 144cc air-cooled four-stroke
Transmission: 5-speed manual with clutch
Best for: Tall Teenagers and Adult Riders
The KLX140 provides something extremely important in a training motorcycle: control without intimidation.
Its 144cc four stroke engine produces enough torque to move riders comfortably through training exercises without the sharp acceleration associated with competition Motocross bikes.
The manual clutch allows riders to learn one of the most important skills required for progressing in the sport.
Our students develop the coordination between:
Clutch
Throttle
Gear shifter
Front brake
Rear brake
Once these controls become automatic, riders can focus much more effectively on body position, vision and terrain.
CMX selects training motorcycles based on how effectively they help students develop skills.
The KLX140 allows instructors to work on:
Clutch control
Throttle control
Shifting
Braking
Standing position
Cornering
Balance
Vision
Line selection
Acceleration technique
Basic motocross fundamentals
Because the motorcycle responds predictably, students can concentrate on improving technique instead of fighting the motorcycle.
If you're considering getting into Motocross or dirt bike riding, you don't need to purchase a motorcycle before your first lesson.
California Motocross School can provide a properly sized bike for your training experience.
This also gives riders the opportunity to understand how different motorcycle sizes feel before making a purchasing decision.
Bike fit matters.
When booking, provide us with your age, height, weight and previous riding experience.
California Motocross School will match the motorcycle to the rider rather than expecting the rider to adapt to the wrong motorcycle.
Book your beginner dirt bike lesson with California Motocross School and learn proper technique on a motorcycle selected for your size and experience.
