Kawasaki KX60 1984 Parts & Accessories

Positioned as fundamental building blocks in Kawasaki's youth motocross hierarchy, the Kawasaki KX60 and Kawasaki KX65 represent two generations of entry-level race machines designed to transition young riders from automatic trail bikes to manual, liquid-cooled competition racers. Introduced in 1983, the air/liquid-cooled KX60 established the standard for youth 60cc racing with its lightweight chassis and tractable powerband before being superseded in 2000 by the completely modernized KX65. Built with a high-revving liquid-cooled 64 cc engine, aggressive frame geometry, dual disc brakes, and long-travel suspension, the KX65 remains a mainstay in amateur youth racing, providing aspiring motocrossers with the big-bike chassis dynamics and power delivery needed to build championship-level skills.


KAWASAKI KX60 VS. KX65 MODEL BREAKDOWN

Kawasaki KX60 (1983–2003)
  • Air/Liquid-Cooled 60 cc Engine: Simple, ultra-reliable 59 cc two-stroke single delivering a manageable yet snappy powerband tailored for novice racers.
  • Manual 6-Speed Transmission: Features a traditional manual clutch and 6-speed gearbox designed to teach young riders precise clutch control and gear selection.
  • Classic Chassis Architecture: Equipped with a lightweight steel frame, drum brakes front and rear, and early-generation Uni-Trak rear suspension.
  • Approachability: Low seat height and light overall weight made it a legendary beginner racer for two decades before its retirement.

Kawasaki KX65 (2000–Present)
  • High-Output Liquid-Cooled 64 cc Engine: Modern liquid-cooled 64 cc two-stroke single featuring a high-compression cylinder, Electrofusion cylinder coating, and a 24 mm Mikuni VM24SS carburetor for explosive high-rpm power.
  • Race-Grade Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes replacing the drum setup of the KX60, offering dramatically superior stopping power and lever feel.
  • Modern Race Chassis & Suspension: High-tensile steel semi-double cradle frame paired with 33 mm leading-axle front forks and a fully adjustable Uni-Trak rear shock setup.
  • Big-Bike Ergonomics & Styling: Aggressive KX factory-inspired bodywork, wide footpegs, and 14-inch front / 12-inch rear wheel setup to prepare youth riders for 85cc supermini classes.
