About this model
About the Kawasaki EL 252
The Kawasaki EL252 Eliminator is a lightweight 1990s cruiser powered by a liquid-cooled 252 cc parallel twin. Its engine is more rev-hungry than the cruiser styling suggests, combining a low seat with six speeds and chain drive.
The EL252 suits newer riders and fans of compact classic cruisers. It is easy to manage, although model-specific body and exhaust parts are less common. Verify the exact engine code because EL250 and later Eliminator names can be confused. Cold starting, carburettors and the cooling system deserve attention.

What to check before buying

- Check exhaust, tank and rare body parts for corrosion.
