Features and Benefits
  • - 64cc two-stroke engine with digital ignition offers ideal timing for better throttle response throughout the rev range
  • - An electrofusion-coated cylinder with advanced exhaust and transfer ports for increased power and performance at higher rpm
  • - Six-speed transmission offers positive action and rugged durability; hard chrome-finished shift fork ends resist wear
  • - High-tensile steel frame offers exceptional torsional rigidity for excellent handling with a reinforced down tube for increased strength and durability
  • - Uni-Trak rear suspension offers progressively increasing spring and damping strength as the suspension compresses for a more controlled ride
  • - Front and rear disc brakes are light, powerful and resist fading
  • - Industry-leading amateur racing support through Team Green
64cc Two-stroke Engine
  • - Digital ignition offers ideal timing for optimal throttle response throughout the rev range
  • - Ignition rotor features rare-earth magnets, making it smaller, lighter and more durable. Its low inertial moment improves low-rpm response
  • - High capacity ignition coil delivers a higher secondary voltage for a hotter spark, and the punchier response improves acceleration
  • - Connecting rod big-end bearing features a cage for added durability
  • - Primary gear is secured using a lock-nut to help reduce mechanical noise
  • - The oil seal of the left crankcase has a stopper for increased engine reliability
  • - Metafoam gaskets are used for the generator cover, water pump cover and water pump elbow for improved sealing
Electrofusion Cylinder
  • - Advanced exhaust and transfer ports increase power and performance at higher rpm
  • - Bridge between exhaust ports is machined for increased reliability and resistance to wear and seizure
  • - Lightweight cylinder liner transfers heat efficiently for cooler running
Liquid Cooling
  • - Large radiator provides more consistent engine temperatures, keeping power output strong throughout the moto
  • - Cooling system offers greater reliability and less engine wear

24mm Mikuni Carburetor
- Feeds a four-petal reed valve for excellent throttle response
- Allows the engine to produce more power and torque at all rpm

Six-speed Transmission
  • - Positive action and rugged durability
  • - Hard chrome-finished shift-fork ends resist wear
  • - Manual clutch mechanism mirrors larger KX models
  • - Clutch cover gasket made of metal-carbon composite material
High-tensile Steel Frame
  • - Exceptional torsional rigidity for excellent handling
  • - Reinforced downtube adds strength and durability
  • - Engine and chassis bolts feature rust-resistant coating
Front Fork
- Four-position rebound-damping adjustment accommodates different riding styles and terrain

UNI-TRAK Rear Suspension
- Rising-rate action allows a more controlled ride as the suspension compresses

Nitrogen-charged Shock
  • - Four-way adjustable rebound damping offers a variety of settings for various track conditions
  • - External reservoir helps maintain consistent damping
  • - Rebuildable aluminum body
Aluminum Swingarm
- Forged aluminum rocker arm reduces weight and improves durability

Front and Rear Disc Brakes - Light and powerful
  • - Ergonomic front brake lever shape offers better feel
  • - Resist fading
  • - Require less lever pressure
Lightweight Aluminum Rims
- Black aluminum rims provide the same aggressive look as the rims on larger KX models
- Reduce unsprung weight for improved suspension action

Detachable Aluminum Silencer
  • - Silencer is removable, and packing is replaceable
  • - Oval shape mimics the styling of larger-displacement KX models
