Factory designations: '''KLX250-D''' and '''KLX250-E'''. The model featured a modern look, a steel frame, disc brakes and an inverted fork (on the European versions, a regular fork). Since 1994, new modifications have been added - '''Kawasaki KLX250''' (version for DOP in some European countries) and '''Kawasaki KLX250ES''' (version for DOP in the Japanese market, has an electric starter and a high power headlamp).

Factory designation - '''KLX250-H'''. This version was universal and suitable for use on DOP (public roads). Unlike the previous generation, the new one received a more powerful headlight and minor visual changes, the fuel tank capacity decreased from 8 to 7.2 liters. This generation practically did not change until 2007, having slightly updated only in 2001 (under new environmental standards) and in 2004 moved production to Thailand.
