Perfect for urban riding, the uniquely styled KLE500 can take you across town or down a hard packed trail with ease. The compact parallel twin engine displaces 498cm3 and provides a healthy 47.6ps at 8,500 rpm. Long travel suspension copes well with urban pot holes and the plush seat is comfortable for rider and passenger who have the convenience of a rear rack as standard.
New half cowling
A new half cowling that features the headlight and screen from the Z1000 gives the KLE a more aggressive appearance. Fit and finish of the three-piece construction has also been improved.
Attractive new turn signals like those on the Z750S complement the KLE’s new design.

Horizontal ducts
Horizontal ducts on either side of the cowl create an 'air curtain' which reduces wind buffeting at higher speeds and improves rider comfort. This patented feature is available only from Kawasaki.
Pipe catalysers
Pipe catalysers added to each exhaust header pipe, plus a third in the manifold (three in total) ensure that the KLE500 meets Euro-II emissions standards.
Instrument panel
Instrument panel is unitised with the inner cowl and incorporates the air ducts in the cowl.
Grippy seat cover
