Lowering a KX65

<< < (2/2)

gwcrim:
He's doing pretty darn well on it.  His biggest issue is with the clutch.  He LOVES the power and does quite well when he comes to a stop.  First thing I did to it was put hand guards on.  My biggest concern with lowering it is that it's much nicer in the woods for a 6 yr old on a bike like that.

He will love it lowered. The hand guards will save you in levers, pdq.

Kids don't really understand what a clutch is.  For my son I made it a game to see how slow he could go (on flat ground) by slipping the clutch and walking with his feet.  Turned out to be an effective way to teach the clutch.  I always lower my kids bikes to give them more confidence in the bush.  Sometimes when we are riding as a group, the terrain gets ugly and it is nice to see them able to ride through it (somtimes with some dad help).   Cam.
