Technical Overview and Procedures
This factory publication breaks down the teardown, inspection, and assembly of the 2-stroke single-cylinder powerplants. Mechanics will find comprehensive chassis maintenance data covering the Uni-trak rear suspension and telescopic upside-down front forks. The documentation provides system-wide fluid capacities, outlining the exact 0.7 L transmission oil requirement and 0.57 L coolant volume needed during standard fluid flushes. Working on high-performance 2-strokes requires strict adherence to factory safety protocols to prevent component failure or personal injury. Always ensure proper shop practices and verify safety tolerances before operating the motorcycle after suspension or engine work.
Specifications and Maintenance Data
Having the right numbers on hand speeds up any bench job. Reference data for the KX85 and KX100 includes precise carburetor settings for the Keihin PWK28, such as the #140 main jet for the 85 and specific jet needle positions for the 100FE. Torque values for critical fasteners are laid out clearly. For instance, the manual lists a 25 Nm cylinder head nut torque and 78 Nm for the front and rear axle nuts. Spark plug gap requirements are specified at 0.7–0.8 mm for the recommended NGK R6252K-105. Beyond the hard numbers, the book outlines factory maintenance intervals covering engine, cooling, and final drive components across the entire 2013–Present run.
