Motorcycle specifications Kawasaki125 ELIMINATOR 1998 For the mind

presentation of the 125 ELIMINATOR 1998

kawasaki doesn't have a profusion of 125 models in its road catalog, unlike the other big Japanese manufacturers. The Eliminator is its only 1/8th-litre custom. A presumptuous name for a nicely designed machine that plays differently on the chessboard laid out by Honda and Yamaha. No twin mover, but an efficient single that puts the bike at ease everywhere. Passing power is good, braking is adequate, and handling is satisfactory. The lack of manoeuvrability and the rather high price tag overshadow it a little, but the Kawa fares rather well in all respects.

Kawasaki eliminator 125

Insidex84 Model 2000

Hi all, i own a 1998 kawasaki 125 but it has a little problem, the previous owner told me it had tightened. i went around the gearbox and tried to start it, but it wouldn't start, it just slammed, then i noticed one thing, it's in neutral and when you engage the clutch, 1st goes through but no other gear goes through. So my question is, is it possible that it's just the gearbox, knowing that the engine was out of oil when I picked it up? 10/08/2019 01:09 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Insidex84

Poid max a deux dessus?

Dvdvst Model 2004

As in the title the max weight has two tops and if it is possible to change the rear shocks for more load is it possible? 03/27/2019 07:39 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Dvdvst

bonne moto

jeff Model 1999

This little Kawa 125 is very pleasant to ride on small roads, and its top speed is quite sufficient (115 rpm)
The only small fault is its heaviness when cornering, but it's a custom and the position doesn't make it easy to go round! 04/20/2017 19:54 Rating : 4/5 Respond to jeff

greg Model 1998

bonjour, moto au top j\ ai eu pas mal de custom (rebel, dragstar etc...) celle la dépasse vraiment ces concurrente elle est vraiment au top pour le confort et pour inefficacité du moteur petit défaut gabarie petit comme la rebel mais elle reste quand même la meilleure 08/08/2015 09:39 Rating : 5/5 Respond to greg

beau custom

fred Model 1999

It's my 9th 125, but you've got to love the chopper position! On the other hand, apart from the steering, which is a bit heavy, the engine is willing and the handling acceptable (on good roads). The brakes are sufficient 07/26/2015 12:14 Rating : 4/5 Respond to fred

mimi Model 1997

After a long hiatus, I decided to get back into it at the age of 62, and bought an Eliminator 125, 6 years old and 2250 km.
A very easy motorcycle, aesthetically successful, discreet, and of great build quality.
I had a lot of fun with my purchase. Performance is limited, but for that I have something else.

alain 60 Model 1997

I own this bike, which has 74,000 km on the odometer and is 10 years old. It has kept its original look as well as its mechanics, so for me it's a very good machine and moreover economical. 01/29/2009 15:06 Rating : 5/5 Respond to alain 60

dreamer65p Model 1997

it's a very good beaker, beware of the original tire fitment, but personally I find it well-balanced when I put Michelin tyres on the front
fuel consumption is ridiculous (around 3l/100)
the rear shock absorbers are a little dry but effective anyway, they are adjustable in hardness

claude coh Model 1997

i've had 3 small 125s, and the Kawasaki Eliminator is the one I've found the most pleasant and the most consistent. Good little engine and no weak points (except for the steering lock behind the tank) 02/18/2006 17:48 Rating : 5/5 Respond to claude coh

daniella Model 1997

i've had a 1988 kawasaki eliminator 1000.. for 3 years and i'm super happy with it. it's true that it goes just as well at low revs... it's a real peach when you get back on the gas ... i've gone 180 on the highway and then I fly away... I'm 48 kilos... daniella 03/04/2005 18:26 Rating : 5/5 Respond to daniella

flymaniac Model 1997

I've had this wheel for 1 year and I've been riding it all year round (in the North of France)
It's reliable, very frugal (3l/100), not too flashy and the comfort is royal
I ride at 105/110, but this bike doesn't slow down too much on hills or in duets
In fact, it's perfect for two-up riding, being the first 125 to give me complete satisfaction in this respect
It's better than the Shadow, which only comes into its own after 9500 rpm (expensive to maintain), more fuel-efficient and comfortable than the Intruder (riders don't ride 125s), and more reassuring for the after-sales service than the Korean models
Buy it now! 01/11/2005 14:33 Rating : 5/5 Respond to flymaniac

hextrem Model 1997

I've owned an Eliminator for 3 years, bought it new in 1998 when it first came out, and I can say that I've had nothing to reproach it for .... Simple maintenance, sober and efficient for a mono. 115 km/h top speed isn't bad for a 125...and even today I don't know why I sold it. 12/22/2004 21:53 Rating : 5/5 Respond to hextrem
