Hello to all of you,
I am a 47 jr old guy from the Netherlands with a 20jr old son who rides a pitbike.
We are member of a race team who ride just for fun, but are very competitive drivers.
At first our bike was a klx110 four stroker but didn't like the sound of it ( 2stroke rules
)and had to many problems with the yx engine.
Last winter i completely rebuild the frame around a kx 85 engine.
The reason why i did not use the frame of the kx 85 motocross bike is because it is to large for indoor racing, in the winter we ride the pitbikes at the indoor kartcircuit were we live,
during the summer we ride outdoors in belgium and france.
I wanted it to be the size of the pit bike.
The handling of the bike is fantastic, a huge improvement compared to the four stroke frame.
And after one year with the kx engine i am very pleased with the engine switch.
I complete rebuild the engine including crankshaft en and had no problems with it for the whole year.
Also i have a spare kx 85 engine for tuning an testing.
This winter i am trying to get some more power out of the engine.
I would like to get in contact with other KX 85 riders to get some tips to improve the engine.
Here are some pictures of te project.
