Kawasaki KX description
As motocross racers begin to transition from the mini categories into full-sized competition, the KX100 provides the ride that will both enhance and simplify this often-times difficult move. Engineered to help adolescent riders as they see both their skills and their physical presence changing, the KX100 lets them focus all of their attention on refining their own capabilities, not the constant need to manhandle an excessively large and powerful 250.At A Glance... 99cc two-stroke engine is liquid cooled to help assure even running temperatures, consistent power output and greater reliability Kawasaki Integrated Power-valve System varies exhaust port height, helping to produce a broad powerband with more low-end torque while retaining excellent top-end power 6 gear transmission offers positive shifting action and rugged durability; hard chrome-finished shift forks resist wear and seizure Clutch uses 119mm-diameter plates for good feel and durability Swingarm uses large cross-section beams for more rigidity Uni-Trak rear suspension features a shock with adjustable compression, rebound damping and spring preload, while the 36mm inverted cartridge fork has 18-way adjustable compression damping Industry-leading amateur racer support through Team GreenLiquid-cooled, 99cc, Two-stroke Engine Clutch cover is separate from the water pump cover for quick servicing Liquid-cooling helps to maintain reliability, even-running temperatures and consistent power output Bridges between intake and exhaust ports are machine-finished for increased durability Rotor utilizes rare-earth magnets the unitized piece is small, light and more efficient; low inertial moment improves low-rpm response Connecting rod big-end bearing has a more rigid cage for improved durability Intake port shape and cylinder skirt allow cooling air into the crankcase chamber Primary gear is secured using a lock-nut to help reduce mechanical noise Metafoam gaskets for the generator and water pump covers improve sealingKawasaki Integrated Power Valve System (KIPS) KIPS system varies exhaust port height for increased horsepower and torque at all rpm Produces a broad powerband with more low-end torque while retaining excellent top-end power Breather in KIPS cover improves high-rpm and overrun performance28mm Keihin Carburetor Crescent slide carburetor puts the needle closer to the intake ports for optimum throttle response Adjustable for various conditionsClutch Clutch hub rides on needle bearings for smooth action Large clutch plates measure 119mm in diameter for added durability and control Clutch-release lever ratio provides light clutch lever action Thick clutch basket housing improves durability Clutch plate service cover simplifies maintenance and utilizes a metal-carbon composite gasketSix-speed Transmission 5th and 6th gears ride on bushings for added reliability Positive shifting action and rugged durability Allows the engine's full potential to be realized Oil level window allows easy level check Hard chrome-finished shift forks resist wear and seizureHigh-tensile Steel Perimeter Frame Wide, steel footpegs for better control and added strength Thick footpeg brackets withstand today's rigorous tracks Engine and chassis bolts feature rust-resistant coatingFuel Tank Positioned low in the frame to lower center of gravity and improve handlingUni-Trak Rear Suspension Swingarm uses large cross-section beams for more rigidity and control Swingarm incorporates cast-aluminum drive chain adjuster sections for easy chain adjustments Flanged collars at the bearings to protect seals from mud Fully adjustable shock with compression damping, rebound damping and spring preload adjustability36mm Inverted Cartridge Fork Aluminum upper tubes are 49.5mm in diameter for excellent control and steering response Compression damping is 18-way adjustableDisc Brakes Front brake lever shape offers better feel Forged-aluminum rear brake pedal is strong, lightweight and features 2 seals at the pivot for smooth operationLightweight Aluminum Rims Rear hub features 2 wheel bearings on the drive side for durability Thick spokes are pre-owned in the front and rear for strength, and require less adjustment Lightweight aluminum rimsGraphics Aggressive Kawasaki graphics compliment its black frame and wheels, just like the larger KX models Silver clutch and ignition covers resist the signs of boot rub to help keep the KX looking fresh, longerSpecifications Engine: Two-stroke single with KIPS Displacement: 99cc Bore x Stroke: 52.5 x 45.8mm Cooling System: Liquid Carburetion: Keihin PWK28 Induction: Two-petal reed valve Compression ratio: 9.6:1 (low speed) 8.8:1 (high speed) Ignition: Digital CDI Transmission: 6 gear Final drive: Chain Frame Type: High-tensile steel perimeter design with subframe member Rake/Trail: 27 degrees / 4.1 in.

Fri, 01 Nov 2013Motorcycle and scooter sales in the U.S. in 2013 remain consistent with last year’s figures, according to data released by the Motorcycle Industry Council. Several manufacturers blamed poor weather for the poor start this year, and the rebounding sales in the third quarter helped to negate the slow sales from earlier in the year.
AMA Superbike: 2012 Daytona Results
Tue, 20 Mar 2012Josh Hayes and Blake Young picked things up where they left off by trading wins at the 2012 season-opening AMA Superbike round at Daytona International Speedway.

Japan Needs Your Help
Thu, 17 Mar 2011By now, we’ve all seen pictures and video of the devastation in Japan following the March 11 earthquake and the ensuing tsunamis. Japan, of course, has contributed much to motorcycling, with the Big Four of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha, as well as tire manufacturer Bridgestone, helmet companies Arai and Shoei and many other motorcycle industry stalwarts all coming from the Land of the Rising Sun. Jon Bekefy and Greg Hatton, two motorcycle enthusiasts, industry employees and above all, humanitarians, have set up a fundraising campaign benefiting the Red Cross for relief efforts in Japan.
