Market and trim notes
This sheet covers the Kawasaki KLX150 as listed in the Indonesian distributor’s current catalogue. Market-specific equipment can differ from the same nameplate in another country, so the figures are not interchangeable.

What the numbers mean
The 830 mm seat is on the tall side for shorter riders, so try it before buying.
At 115 kg it is manageable at walking pace but heavy enough to notice on a slope.
The 6.9 L tank is typical for the class and enough for a week of commuting between fills. The manufacturer does not publish a consumption figure, so this page does not quote a range.
Tyres are 70/100-19M/C 42P front and 90/100-16M/C 51P rear. Check that your local shop stocks both before a long trip.

Ownership and maintenance notes
- Clean and lubricate the chain at short intervals in rain or dust, and check slack with the bike on its side stand. A loose chain wears sprockets quickly; a tight one loads the output bearing.
- Check tyre pressures cold. On a light bike a few psi matters more than it does on a car, and it changes both steering and tyre life.
- Air-cooled engines rely on clean fins and a clear path for air. Wash the fins gently, and do not let mud or a loose cover block them in traffic.
- After water crossings or dusty tracks, check the air filter and chain first. Dirt reaches both before it reaches the oil.
- Inspect the brake pads after muddy rides; grit embedded in a pad wears a disc faster than normal road use.
Source and verification
Figures are taken from Kawasaki Motor Indonesia, the Indonesian distributor, on 13 November 2026.

The source page is the 2026 model-year page.
Cooling is inferred from the published layout rather than printed as a separate field.
Wording is quoted as published; spacing and unit symbols are normalised. Specification databases go stale: if a figure here differs from the current distributor page, the distributor page wins, and this sheet records what was published on the verification date.
