As motocross racers begin to transition from the mini categories into full-sized competition, the KX™100 provides the ride that will both enhance and simplify this often-times difficult move. Engineered to help adolescent riders as they see both their skills and their physical presence changing, the KX100 lets them focus all of their attention on refining their own capabilities, not the constant need to manhandle an excessively large and powerful 250.
• 99cc two-stroke engine is liquid cooled to help assure even running temperatures, consistent power output and greater reliability
• Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve System varies exhaust port height, helping to produce a broad powerband with more low-end torque while retaining excellent top-end power
• Six-speed transmission offers positive shifting action and rugged durability; hard chrome-finished shift forks resist wear and seizure
• Clutch uses 119mm-diameter plates for good feel and durability
• Swingarm uses large cross-section beams for more rigidity
• Uni-Trak® rear suspension features a shock with adjustable compression, rebound damping and spring preload, while the 36mm inverted cartridge fork has 18-way adjustable compression damping
• Industry-leading amateur racer support through Team Green™
• Clutch cover is separate from the water pump cover for quick servicing
• Liquid-cooling helps to maintain reliability, even-running temperatures and consistent power output
• Bridges between intake and exhaust ports are machine-finished for increased durability
• Rotor utilizes rare-earth magnets – the unitized piece is small, light and more efficient; low inertial moment improves low-rpm response
• Connecting rod big-end bearing has a more rigid cage for improved durability
• Intake port shape and cylinder skirt allow cooling air into the crankcase chamber
• Primary gear is secured using a lock-nut to help reduce mechanical noise
• Metafoam gaskets for the generator and water pump covers improve sealing
• KIPS system varies exhaust port height for increased horsepower and torque at all rpm
• Produces a broad powerband with more low-end torque while retaining excellent top-end power
• Breather in KIPS cover improves high-rpm and overrun performance
