Bridging the gap between the mini ranks and a full-size Lites-class motorcycle is the Kawasaki KX100 motorcycle. With its larger wheels and tires, the KX100 provides adolescent racers with an appropriately-sized machine, allowing them to focus on riding technique instead of on controlling excessive power.

The logical path to the big leagues

Bridging the gap between the mini ranks and a full-size Lites-class motorcycle is the Kawasaki KX™100 motorcycle. With its larger wheels and tires, the KX100 provides adolescent racers with an appropriately-sized machine, allowing them to focus on riding technique instead of on controlling excessive power.

Besides larger wheels than an 85 class machine, the KX100 also sports a bigger 99cc liquid-cooled, two-stroke engine. It breathes through a 28mm carburetor with a carbon-fiber intake reed valve to aid throttle response and is fitted with the Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve System (KIPS®) to help produce a broad powerband with good low-end torque and strong top-end power. The engine is connected to a smooth-shifting, six-speed transmission, which gives the KX100 a gear for every situation on the race track.
The engine is bolted into a high-tensile steel perimeter frame with the specially designed gas tank located inside the frame to lower the fuel load and center of gravity for improved handling.  

Adjustable long-travel suspension at both ends helps to smooth even the roughest motocross courses.
 
The 36mm inverted cartridge fork has compression damping adjustment capability and the UNI-TRAK® rear suspension system comes equipped with a shock that is fully adjustable for spring preload, compression and rebound damping. In the braking department, both front and rear discs are mounted with shoulder bolts for easier maintenance.
 
The KX100 also features aggressive Kawasaki Lime Green and Black graphics just like larger KX models.

Those who race their KX100 at designated events are eligible to receive support from Team Green™, Kawasaki’s amateur racing support program. Each year, Team Green provides regional support vehicles and highly trained technicians at more than 100 events, offering technical information and assistance to those who race Kawasaki products. Kawasaki also offers a comprehensive contingency program for amateur and professional riders who place well at designated events.
