Kawasaki KX100, 2012

• Kawasaki KX100, 2012

• - 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 has 119mm-diameter plates for durability and control
• - 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

Liquid-cooled, 99cc, Two-stroke Engine

• - Utilizes a separate clutch cover on the engine’s right side for quick servicing without removing the water pump cover
• - Liquid-cooling assures even-running temperatures, consistent power output and greater reliability
• - 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

Kawasaki Integrated Power Valve System (KIPS)
- 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

28mm Keihin Carburetor
- Crescent slide carburetor puts the needle closer to the intake ports for optimum throttle response
- Adjustable for various conditions

Clutch
- Clutch hub rides on needle bearings for smooth action
- Large clutch plates measure 119mm in diameter for added durability and control
- Clutch-release lever ratio provides light clutch lever action
- Thick clutch basket housing improves durability
- Clutch plate service cover simplifies maintenance and utilizes a metal-carbon composite gasket

Six-speed Transmission
- Fifth and sixth gears ride on bushings for added reliability
- Positive shifting action and rugged durability
- Allows the engine’s full potential to be realized
- Oil level window allows easy level check
- Hard chrome-finished shift forks resist wear and seizure

High-tensile Steel Perimeter Frame
- Wide, steel footpegs for better control and added strength
- Thick footpeg brackets withstand today’s rigorous tracks
- Engine and chassis bolts feature rust-resistant coating

Fuel Tank
- Positioned low in the frame to lower center of gravity and improve handling

UNI-TRAK Rear Suspension
- Swingarm uses large cross-section beams for more rigidity and control
- Swingarm incorporates cast-aluminum drive chain adjuster sections for easy chain adjustments
- Flanged collars at the bearings to protect seals from mud
- Fully adjustable shock with compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload adjustability

36mm Inverted Cartridge Fork
- Aluminum upper tubes are 49.5mm in diameter for excellent control and steering response
- Compression damping is 18-way adjustable

Disc Brakes
- Front brake lever shape offers better feel
- Forged-aluminum rear brake pedal is strong, lightweight and features two seals at the pivot for smooth operation

Lightweight Aluminum Rims
- Rear hub features two wheel bearings on the drive side for durability
- Thick spokes are used in the front and rear for strength, and require less adjustment
- Lightweight aluminum rims

Graphics
- Aggressive Kawasaki graphics compliment its black frame and wheels, just like the larger KX models
