1 2016 MODEL INFORMATION MODEL NAME KX65 MARKETING CODE KX65A Version: 2 June 2015 Canadian model may not be exactly as shown.

2 OVERVIEW Kawasaki s smallest motocross racer is loaded with big KX features to keep young riders at the front of the pack. Boasting aluminum rims, adjustable suspension, digital CDI, and fast revving flywheel, the KX65 is a serious competitor. Sharp graphics include a mono-tone seat cover that brings the KX65 in line with other 2016 Kawasaki KX models. 2

3 KEY FEATURES Engine Liquid cooled, two-stroke produces 12,500 rpm. 24mm Mikuni carburetor feeds a 4-petal reed valve for excellent throttle response. Electrofusion cylinder improves heat transfer for consistent power output, provides excellent wear and seizure resistance and allows closer piston-to-cylinder clearances for more power. The bridge between the exhaust ports is machine finished for increased seizure resistance. The silencer is an oval design with large volume to provide excellent power while reducing sound levels. Connecting rod big-end bearing has a more rigid cage for improved durability and smoother action at high-rpm. Crankshaft primary gear is secured using a lock-nut. The reduced play helps reduce mechanical noise. Ignition coil delivers a higher secondary voltage for a hotter spark. The punchier response gives an improved acceleration feeling Digital CD Ignition allows for improved timing control and better response across the rev range. (Photo 1) 51 Light magneto rotor uses powerful neodium (rare-earth) magnets to lower inertial moment from 6.5 kg.cm 2 to 4.0 kg.cm 2 which improves low-rpm response. The rotor boss and yoke are unitised. The unitised piece is both small and durable, offering improved overrun performance. Engine kill switch attached with a waterproof coupler for more reliable connection. A stopper added to the oil seal of the left crankcase improves engine reliability. Gasket material for the generator cover, water pump cover and water pump elbow use metafoam (SPCC+foam) to improve sealing instead of a paper-base. Likewise, the clutch cover gasket use a metal-carbon composite (SPCC+carbon sheet) material instead of paper-base. (SPCC: Steel Plate Cold Commercial) The clutch basket and hub ride on involute splines and are fastened with a circlip instead of a bolt to ease servicing. The steel clutch plates have a special surface treatment to improve the feel. 6-Speed transmission features a short shift lever that keeps the shift throw short for quick shifts. The ends of the shift forks are hard-chrome finished for added durability. The shift drum rides on roller bearings for smooth shifting. The fuel tank cap vent hose has a check valve to reduce the possibility of fuel seepage. 3

4 KEY FEATURES Chassis High tensile steel semi-double cradle frame. Frame strength and durability is assured with thick tubing for the backbone and swingarm pivot area. Large cast steel footpegs resist bending in the case of a tip-over and offer secure grip. Engine and chassis bolts have a rust-resistant coating. A removable left side rear frame piece eases air box and shock servicing. Tapered steering head bearings add precision and durability. Bottom-Link Uni-Trak rear suspension. The rear shock has 4-way adjustable rebound damping, stiff spring and damping settings to accommodate more aggressive riders. The bottom link design keeps the weight low for a lower center of gravity, which makes the bike feel lighter and easier to handle. External reservoir cools the shock fluid, increasing fade resistance to help keep damping consistent. 33mm conventional fork. Front fork tubes project 20 mm above the triple clamp to allow for ride height adjustments. The front fork springs and damping are stiff to reduce bottoming for more aggressive riders. Large 33mm inner tubes assure rigidity for great handling in the rough stuff. Front and rear disc brakes. Large 180mm front and rear brake rotors with single piston calipers offer eye-popping brake performance. The rear brake pedal has O-rings sealing the pivot for smooth operation. Aluminum rims front and rear reduce unsprung weight and their strength adds durability. Drive chain adjusters like the big KXs ease chain adjustments and add rigidity. 4
