2022 Kawasaki KX250 Special Care According to Track Conditions

In dry, dusty conditions (such a volcanic ash or fine powdery dust), special care must be given to keeping the air cleaner element clean.
When riding on wet, heavy clay, mud adheres to the tires and other parts of the vehicle.
The mud can add significantly to the weight of the vehicle and therefore reduce performance.
Take care to remove built-up mud from the tires and chassis after each ride, before drying occurs.
The engine works hardest in muddy conditions and the radiator can become clogged with mud.
Take care not to overheat the engine in these conditions.
The engine also works very hard when riding in deep sand.
In muddy or sandy conditions, increase chain slack as the chain and sprockets will be packed with mud or sand, which reduces chain slack.
Check chain and sprocket wear frequently when riding in mud or sand, since wear is increased in these conditions.
Sticking muds or dusts on the front fork inner tube and rear shock absorber rod could damage to the oil seal, leading to an oil leak. Clean the sticking muds or dusts from the front fork inner tube and rear shock absorber rod after each ride.
