Bridging the Gap to the Big Time

Following the adage to use the right tool for the job, the KX™100 is the perfect instrument to help competitive riders step up their game – and begin to transition into the big leagues of 250cc full-sized Lites competition. The KX100 helps bridge that huge gap between classes, providing growing adolescent riders with a machine that accommodates both their growing skill base and their size, allowing them to concentrate on honing their capabilities rather than controlling excessive power.

At A Glance...

• 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

36 MM Inverted Cartridge Fork

• Aluminum upper tubes are 49.5mm in diameter for excellent control and steering response

• Compression damping is 18-way adjustable

Front And Rear 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
