KX65 FEATURES
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
Liquid Cooling
- Larger radiator assures more even running temperatures so that power output remains consistently strong
- Assures greater reliability
24mm Mikuni Carburetor
- Feeds a 4-petal reed valve for excellent throttle response
- Allows the engine to produce good power and torque at all rpm
6-Speed Transmission
- Positive action and rugged durability, with a gear for every situation
- Allows the engine's full potential to be realized
High Tensile Steel Frame
- The same strong, light, hi-tech material that's used on the bigger KX bikes
- Exceptional torsional rigidity for superior handling
KX65 Footpegs
- Stronger and provide additional support
Bottom-link Uni-Trak® Rear Suspension
- Features rising rate action; as the suspension compresses, the spring and damping strength increase progressively for a more controlled ride
Nitrogen-Charged Shock
- Rebuildable aluminum body
- Keeps the damping more consistent on long rides and hot days
Bigger Front Fork
- Large 33mm fork tubes for added rigidity
- Fork pitch increased l5mm
Taper Roller Steering Bearings
- Withstands landing impacts with greater durability Minimal maintenance
Front and Rear Disc Brakes
- Lighter and more powerful
- Resists fading
- Require less lever pressure
Aluminum Rims
- Reduces unsprung weight for improved suspension action
Capacitor Discharge Ignition (CDl)
- Produces the extremely hot spark needed to ignite the air/fuel/oil mixture of a 2-stroke racing engine
- Easy starts and reliability under extreme conditions
- Requires no adjustment
Detachable Silencer
- Silencer packing replaceable
Works-Type Seat
