7 UNMISTAKABLE KX DNA UNMISTAKABLE KX DNA Just like our larger KX motocross models, the KX100 and KX85 feature factory looks evocative of our works racers. The ergonomic bodywork, sharp graphics package and numerous factory-style touches contribute to a strong KX family image and warn rivals of the race-winning potential housed in all KX motocross models. Factory styling details * The bodywork and graphics of the KX100 and KX85 give them a strong resemblance to the larger KX models, enabling young racers to look just like Ryan Villopoto and other Kawasaki heroes when leading the pack. * Front and rear fender designs match those used on larger KX models. (Photo 1) 1 KX85C 7

8 UNMISTAKABLE KX DNA * Fork guards connect only at the bottom. The design (same as that used on the KX450F/250F) helps prevent mud build-up. Kawasaki logo moulded into the plastic adds to the big bike image. (Photo 2) 2 * Fork and rear shock adjusters have a blue alumite 1 finish like our factory racers. (Photos 4-5) 4 5 * Rims are coated in black alumite 1 just like our factory racers. (Photo 3) 3 * Factorystyle graphics complement the racy performance. (Photo 6) 6 * Brushed aluminium finish on the swingarm contributes to the highquality image. * Rear shock s aluminium body features a black anodised finish. 8

9 BOOSTED ENGINE PEFORMANCE BOOSTED ENGINE PERFORMANCE Changes to the 2-stroke racing engine in 2014 result in increased power and torque across the rev-range. The gains are so significant that the engine can be considered a completely different unit from its high-revving predecessor. KX85C KX100F 9

10 BOOSTED ENGINE PERFORMANCE Engine * Liquid-cooled, two-stroke Single engine with piston reed valve induction. * Cylinder bore treatment (nikasil plating) contributes to durability. (Photo 7) 7 * Revised squish area (in 2014) contributes to the increased engine performance. (Photo 9) 9 * Piston features a single piston ring (previously two). The reduced friction helps to minimise mechanical loss. (Photo 8) 8 * PWK 28 semi-flat slide carburettor positions the nozzle jet close to the cylinder for sharp response across the rev range. * Carburettor settings were optimised to match the engine. * Carbon-fibre reeds with mesh oriented at 45 o for ideal response characteristics. Reed thickness (0.42 mm) ideal for low- and midrange response. * Precise, digital CDI ignition delivers a hot spark. * Compact igniter with direct coupler eases maintenance

11 BOOSTED ENGINE PERFORMANCE * Resin blocks added to the crankshaft decrease the volume of the crankcase. The resultant greater primary pressure ratio contributes to increased engine performance. (Photo 10) * Increased tightness of the press fit of the crank pin, and large-diameter (ø83 mm) crankshaft weights offer superb rigidity and durability. 10 * Large exhaust port shape contributes to increased engine performance. * Large radiator is taller (200 mm 240 mm) and wider (110 mm mm), than its predecessor offering a more than 50% increase in cooling performance (5.6 kw 8.5 kw) to match the greater engine performance. (Photo 12) 12 * Completely revised in 2014, KIPS valve construction (3-piece 2 independent pieces) offers improved sealing, greatly contributing to increased engine performance. (Photo 11) * Separate clutch cover gives easy access to the clutch. * Pull-type clutch actuation for smooth operation and easy maintenance. * Large air intake on the right side of the airbox improves airflow to the air cleaner. * Environmentally friendly muffler reduces noise levels without sacrificing power. Steel wool layer between baffle and glass wool layer extends glass wool service life. Enclosed muffler-end shape resists mud-clogging. 11

12 BOOSTED CHASSIS PERFORMANCE BOOSTED CHASSIS PERFORMANCE Complementing the engine performance, the chassis package benefits from a suspension and brake systems that allow young racers to ride at a higher pace. Supension * 36 mm inverted front fork features valve construction that delivers improved damping and greater bottoming resistance. The shimstack type valves (the same style used on the larger KX models), updated from port-style valves, generate greater compression and rebound damping force (even over gaps), allowing higher-paced riding and contributing to increased ride comfort. (Photos 13-15)

13 BOOSTED CHASSIS PERFORMANCE * Uni-Trak rear suspension is adjustable for compression and rebound damping, and preload. (Photo 16) 16 Brakes * Petal disc brakes front and rear, just like the larger KX models, contribute to strong braking performance. (Photos 17-18) * Compression damping mechanism for the rear shock allows compression damping force to be generated at slower stroke speeds, contributing to a more stable ride feel. The mechanism is 24-way adjustable for compression damping, 21-way adjustable for rebound damping. Frame * Large-diameter 220 mm front brake gripped by a dual-piston caliper is complemented by a 184 mm disc and single-piston caliper at the rear. * Sturdy perimeter frame, designed to harness the engine s power, offers the advantages of strength and torsional rigidity, allowing young riders to push hard on the track.

14 SIZED RIGHT SIZED RIGHT Being on a bike that is sized right for a growing body is extremely important especially for young up-and-coming racers learning how to get the most from themselves and their bikes. The KX100 and KX85 with factory-style bodywork that not only reinforces their KX lineage, but contributes to rider ergonomics for enhanced comfort and control. KX85C KX100F 14

15 SIZED RIGHT Two sizes Designed for growing riders, the KX100 and KX85 makes it easier to find a bike that fits like a glove. Adjustable handlebar: 6 positions An adjustable handlebar allows riders to custom-fit their riding position. * The KX85, featuring a 17-inch front wheel and 14-inch rear, is powered by a highrevving 84cc 2-stroke engine mounted in a sturdy perimeter frame. (Photo 20) KX85C 20 * The KX100, with its larger engine displacement, nicely bridges the gap between minimotocrossers and full-size race bikes. (Photo 21) KX100F 21 * Riders are able to choose from six possible handlebar positions. Collars offer a choice of three heights (STD, +5 mm, +10 mm), while reversible handlebar clamps allow two forward/rearward positions (STD, +10 mm FWD). (Photos 22-23)

16 SIZED RIGHT Slim ergonomics Bodywork follows the direction of the larger KX450F and KX250F. In addition to contributing to strong factory looks, the parts form a slim ergonomics package that facilitates rider movement. * Slim, flat-style seat, like on the KX450F/250F, makes it easy for riders to slide forward and back to adjust their riding position. (Photo 24) 24 * Minimalist engine shrouds were designed to be small and are slim where they come in contact with the rider s legs. 2-tone design was achieved using a double-injection moulding process. * Minimalist side covers were made as small as possible. * Seams between the shrouds, seat and side covers are very flush, which facilitates control as well as moving around on the bike. (Photo 25) 25 * Fuel tank features a flat top that contributes to the rider ergonomics. Tank volume is 5 litres. * The handlebar bend contributes to riding comfort and control, enabling dynamic riding and catering to a wider range of riders. 16
