2006 KAWASAKI KFX50 YOUTH MODEL
ATV
INTRODUCING YOUNG RIDERS TO A FAVORITE PASTIME
 For
many families and their friends, riding all-terrain
vehicles (ATVs) is both a passion and a social activity,
so the Kawasaki KFX®50 is an excellent model for
parents who want to introduce their children to
this lifestyle while teaching them how to ride safely
and responsibly.
Designed for riders
ages six and older, the KFX50 ATV offers the simplicity
of operation that helps adults teach children the
important fundamentals of proper and responsible
ATV control. At the same time, the KFX50 is easy
to maintain, so families can spend more time riding
the trails together rather than wrenching in the
garage.
The KFX50 ATV is
powered by an air-cooled 49cc, two-stroke engine
that features automatic oil injection, so premixing
fuel is unnecessary. Safety features include a removable
power plate in the exhaust and a throttle limiting
screw so parents can regulate speed, as well as
a walk-behind ignition cut-off tether that stops
the engine at the parent’s discretion. As a added
safety feature, the parking brake must be applied
in order to start the engine.
The engine rides
in a steel frame and power is transferred to the
rear wheels by lightweight chain drive. Suspension
duties are handled by dual A-arm front suspension
with dual shocks and a single-shock swingarm on
the rear, while stopping power is provided by front
and rear drum brakes.
Other KFX50 features
include full floorboards for confidence and safety,
one-piece seven-inch wheels, and a simple seat latch
that provides quick and easy access to the air cleaner.
Available in Kawasaki
Lime Green—a kid favorite—the KFX50 ATV comes with
a six-month warranty that can be extended up to
three additional years.
Authentic Kawasaki
Accessories are available through Kawasaki dealers
or they can be purchased on the Internet at

As with all off-highway
vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders
to ride responsibly and to respect the environment.
Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki
ATV $100 for completing an ATV rider safety course
conducted by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested
consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.
