How to build a Killer KX85 with 5 simple upgrades

 To start out the Kawasaki KX85 has always been a strong competitor in the 85cc class.

Let’s start with most 85cc bikes week spots first, the clutch. I’m not saying the stock clutch has any problems. Think about the aggressive young rider working that clutch hard to keep in the powerband. How often do you replace you clutch, too often?

When you need to put the power to the ground on your Kawasaki KX85, the Rekluse Core Manual Clutch Kit has you covered. This kit will make your KX85 hook up like it was on steroids. Allows all the power to be used and eliminated any clutch slippage. Components are lighter, stronger and Outperform the stock clutches. Rekluse has engineered the Core Manual kit to increases oil flow, reduces clutch fade, decreases clutch temperatures and extends clutch life.

    Now that you can put all the power to the ground, now let’s make more power. The Kawasaki KX100, KX85 when using the Factory Fatty increases horsepower output as well as smoother power delivery through the entire power band. The area that you will the most noticeable increase the low end and mid-range power. The FMF Factory Fatty will also increase over-rev. No matter what type of riding you do, the Fatty has the benefits you’re looking for.

      When you won’t the most power out of your exhaust system match it to a great silencer. The FMF Powercore 2 Shorty Silencer will do the job. The FMF Shorty Silencer uses a shorter length inner core, with a lightweight aluminum canister. To deliver increased performance by increasing the bottom to mid-range power.

          Drive Line - Performance Gearing set up (14/51)

          By changing the gearing (taller gearing) from a 14/50 to a 14/51 setup this will allow the bike to accelerate stronger pull out of the corners harder and stay in the powerband. With this type of gearing setup, it will also allow you to easily click up a gear for clearing that tabletop or going through a set of whoops. When you are able to click up a gear it allows the bike to pull harder and also smoother,  with out bogging.

           JT aluminum rear sprockets our computer designed to achieve high strength while using Aviation-Grade 7075-T6 Aluminum. This allows JT sprockets to be 30% lighter than an equivalent steel sprocket. By using lightweight aluminum this reduces un-sprung weight which improves performance while maintaining reliability.
