Product Description

Take your Kawasaki KX65 to the next level with the Athena Big Bore Cylinder Kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this kit a direct bolt-on for my KX65?
A: Yes, it is designed as a performance bolt-on upgrade. However, increasing displacement changes the internal engine environment significantly, so it is required to re-jet your carburetor and verify your timing to get the best performance and avoid running lean.

Q: Why can't I reuse my original power valves?
A: This Athena big bore cylinder features modified port timing and combustion chamber geometry compared to the factory cylinder. The included Athena power valves are specifically shaped to match this new design for optimal flow and power delivery.

Expert Pro-Tip: When installing a big bore kit, don't rush the break-in period. Run your first tank of fuel with a slightly richer oil-to-gas ratio and avoid wide-open throttle for the first few heat cycles. This allows the ring set to properly seat against the new cylinder wall, ensuring you get the full life and compression potential out of your expensive new top end.
