2021 Kawasaki KX450 Baseline Settings

Engine Feel: Just in case you were trying to decide on if the 2021 KX450 is better than the 2020, even though not much has changed, there is actually a little difference because of the new clutch. The 2020 comes on quicker with a lighter, more free-revving feel and has less engine braking, but the…

Ride Engineering Full Performance Linkage (Husqvarna FC450)
