Motocross Action Magazines tests the 2022 Kawasaki KX450 at Glen Helen Raceway. This bike is identical to the 2021 model in every way except the graphics. We have tons of time on the 2021 and put even more on the 2022 at Glen Helen Raceway with Kawasaki helping out on the day. Assistant Editor Josh Mosiman breaks down the details on the Kawasaki and all the areas that need help as well as where the bike excels the most.

Back in the 80s here in Cali, I was one of the very few who rode Team Green. Starting lines were a sea of red.

I went to a 240mm rear rotor on my 2020 KX450. Ordered a Braking rotor, and a 2018 rear caliper mount. You only need those 2 parts. And in a pinch, I can use the rear wheel on my 2021 KX250 if I get a flat or something else. Only difference is the rim(2.15 on a 450, and 1.85 on a 250). I use 110/90-19 tire on my 250(sometimes factory 250's run 120's depending on track and rider), and 120/80-19 on my 450. The tire clears the swingarm.

@nickpeccarelli7593 2 года назад

be nice if they made a 1/4 turn kit(Dzus fastener) where the 8mm bolt goes for the left number plate when accessing the air filter. And side note, there's even less room in the 250 airbox, pain in the ass to get the air filter in and out. I cut the backfire screen out of my air filter cages. I think No Toil makes a filter cage without the screen.
