KX125 FEATURES

Nov. 01, 2005 By ORC STAFF

Liquid Cooled Engine

  • Port timing and exhaust port shape revised for higher output and improved throttle response throughout the range
  • Four dowel pins locate the cylinder to the crankcase for extra rigidity and durability

Electrofusion Cylinder

  • Improves heat transfer for consistent power output
  • It's porous so it holds lubrication well
  • It's hard so it resists abrasion and seizure
  • Allows closer piston-to-cylinder clearances for more horsepower

Kawasaki Integrated Power Valve System

  • Larger governor bearings and hardened KIPS valve holder for increased durability

Keihin Power Jet PWK36 Carburetor with K-TRIC

  • New jetting pumps up power delivery in the mid-range
  • 8mm longer intake manifold increases low and mid-range power
  • Kawasaki Throttle Responsive Ignition Control (K-TRIC) uses a sensor and alters ignition timing according to throttle position and engine speed for better throttle response and more power
  • Power jet system uses an electronic solenoid to close a fuel passageway at 9600 rpm to extend the power peak and increase top-end power at over-rev

UNI-TRAK® Rear Suspension

  • Cast aluminum section of the swingarm is designed for less weight and more rigidity
  • The shock features both low-and high-speed compression damping adjustments
  • Triple-rate shock spring makes shock action even more progressive

46mm Upside Down Cartridge Fork

  • New bladder system helps control bottoming and smoothes out jolts
  • New straight rate .41 kg/mm fork springs
  • More internal surfaces are polished for smooth action
  • New piston assembly improves fork action

Front and Rear Disc Brakes

  • Redesigned front brake caliper for better feel
  • Improved dust seals at the rear brake lever and caliper

High Tensile Steel Perimeter Frame

  • Compact and quick handling
  • Removable aluminum rear sub4rame for easy access to the rear shock

Details

  • One tooth larger rear sprocket tightens gearing for greater pulling power
  • U-shaped rims have no shoulder that can catch mud in wet conditions
  • New graphics
  • Flat seat allows free rider movement
  • New handlebar bend for increased rider comfort
