The KLX250 straight line stability is enhanced by a rigid square-section main frame, but its short wheelbase provides the unique ability to turn. Complementing the chassis is a lightweight aluminum swingarm section and the use of a very rigid D. Chain tensioners KX ™ racing-type chain to allow precise adjustments.

Spring KLX250 of measurement parameters and buffer, with wheel travel a little less of a dedicated off-road machine, giving a more planted in corners and make it easier for riders to reach the ground. The 43mm inverted fork style cartridge has 16 channels with adjustable compression damping and 10.0 inches of travel. The link Uni-Trak ® rear suspension has 16-way adjustable compression and rebound, which provides 9.1 inches of wheel travel. 4 mm thick, strong rays in the 21-inch front and 18 inch rear wheels provide excellent rigidity for off-road durability. The KLX250 is so difficult to stop with two pistons push a semi-floating 250 mm petal disc at the front and a disc of 240 mm petal-shaped in the rear.
