MY2025 Kawasaki Eliminator: Engine and performance 

At the core of the 2025 Eliminator lies a 451cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke parallel twin engine, designed to provide smooth power delivery and quick acceleration. With a DOHC 8-valve configuration, this engine produces an impressive 45 PS at 9,000 rpm and generates 42.6 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. The combination of an 11.3:1 compression ratio and fuel injection through dual 32mm injectors guarantees sharp throttle response and effective combustion.

This powertrain is paired with a 6-speed return-shift transmission, further refined by Kawasaki’s Assist & Slipper Clutch technology. This feature reduces clutch effort during urban riding and enhances stability during rapid downshifting, showcasing Kawasaki’s expertise derived from its racing background.
