What made Tom Keeton feed
his friends a steady diet of
dirt,rocks and second place?
The Kawasaki KDX4OO.
Tom “Malcolm” Keeton likes to win.
That means two things. One, anything goes.
And two, he goes with the best bike.
So when Tom saw the new KDX400, he said,
“That’s one for my friends!’
The KDX400 is a winner. For a start, look
at the chassis. An I-section aluminum swing
arm, chrome-moly steel frame, cast magnesium
components. It all adds up to light. Real light.
Lighter than the closest competitor. Then there’s
the special 2-stroke reed-valve engine that
gives you useable horsepower. The KDX400 is
a torquey mother. It’ll suck your eyeballs down
your throat. And it comes with a wide ratio 5-
speed transmission and CDI ignition.
Even the suspension has more travel than
the closest competitor. 10.2"in the front air-oil
forks with large diameter tubes (38mm) for
minimum flex and maximum strength. In the
rear, 9.1"with Kayaba gas-oil lay-down shocks
with remote reservoirs.
There’s a 21" front wheel and 117"of
ground clearance. What else do you need to win
enduros? Off-road lighting? Narrow, but big
fuel tank? Wide plastic fenders? Quick detach
wheels? Engine and chain protection? A high
level air intake for the water? It’s all there in
the KDX400.
This bike is designed for big bore endurance
riders who want to win and not be beaten to
death in the process. The KDX400 may not win
you friends, but it can win races.
