 Kawasaki KX65, 2012

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
