Kawasaki KDX175 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1980-1982)

The Kawasaki KDX175, produced from 1980 to 1982, was an agile off-road motorcycle designed for trail riding and enduro. It featured a robust 173 cc two-stroke, single-cylinder, reed-valve engine, and its frame and motor were derived from the successful KX125 motocrosser. A key innovation for its time was Kawasaki's Uni-Trak single-shock rear suspension system, providing superior handling and comfort. While generally offered as a single model without distinct trim levels, the KDX175 received significant annual updates. The 1981 model saw engine improvements like a piston window and enlarged exhaust pipe for better mid-range to top-end performance, along with air-adjustable forks and revised Uni-Trak links. For 1982, further enhancements included a new "tripport" intake, redesigned exhaust and silencer for improved power delivery, and an upgraded airbox system. The KDX175 was discontinued after 1982, making way for the completely redesigned KDX200. FAQ:
