2006 kawasaki KX 65 Questions & Answers
Choke lever location?
If memory serves me... there is a lever on top front of the carb, push it down for start, as soon as it starts pull it up. I think it has choke stamped into it.
How often do you need to rebuild a kx 65
depends how often you use it and are you racing it, a full rebuild would be once a year as long no major problems , new rings after 8 meetings as long as you use race 2 stroke oil and have no problems , Quality oil does help keep piston etc in good condition ! correct mix , clean carb and fuel and oil and grease every time you use it and jet wash every time keeps problems away !
Do you need to re build kx 65 engines after a amount of riding hours
Kawasaki usually has a requirement of every 16 hours of run time. But that is usually for the race type assessment. If you don't race then I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep an eye on how it runs. If you start to notice less performance than usual then I would pull the cylinder check the measurements and install a new set of rings if everything checks ok. Eventually you'll have to replace the piston with an over sized one. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

Kawasaki kx 65 loss of power
check your spark plug for starters, if its not that see about fuses or if throttle is sticking. other than that im not sure...my brother had one and his problems were always the spark plugs.
Ha me again kx 65 I had a problem with my boys
Your right it shouldn't be waisting plugs that quickly my suspicion is it is over oiling due to two factors - 32:1 fuel mix is quite high in oil should really get it used to running 40:1 and second factor is it will always want to have short bursts of wide open throttle to clear itself of unused fuel and oil throughout cylinder and the expansion pipe.
I know this is difficult with learner riding but I would suggest you ride it few minutes every now and again whilst out with your boy just to open it right up briefly - this will help a lot as it will never like being idled and putted around on for long periods at all
A well jetted and well set 2 stroke will struggle to idle for more than a minute or so at best they will always want revs and I know it seems strange to go out and hurt your little bike with high RPM but truth is it will love it ! The more short bursts of high RPM you give it the better it will run
little trick that you could use for your oiled spark plug is heat the threaded end with cigarette lighter - not to get it red hot but move the flame over it for minute or so - it burns off oil, cleans the plug and pre warms it all ready to start the bike
although this trick works and gets you out of trouble when out in the field always best option to stick new plug in if possible
good luck mate hope this helps a little - regards Jamie
I have a kx60 and
Not really sure what you are asking, but...if you mean that the wheel wobbles after you tighten the axle nut, your rear wheel bearings are worn out. These are replacable.
How to install vforce 3
You may grind off material on the side of the V-Force block as long as you don't go past the casting and carb boot surfaces. It won't affect the performance at all. Good luck!

There should be no play up and down. Any play is coming from a worn out needle bearing on the crank. A bit side to side is okay and normal. The crank will need to come out then it gets pressed apart and fitted with a new bearing. Price out the difference in cost of fixing the crank verses getting a new $170 crank assembly.What probably happened is a broken piston ring extended into a cylinder port and the piston against the ring is what gouged the cylinder and head.
Please rate my answer.
Its a 98 kx60 and
Mixing the gas right doesn't mean that your jetting is right. You need a clean air filter, and a good set of piston rings (good compression) to maintain a good running engine. If your main jet is too big (fat) it will let more fuel in at 1/4 to full throttle, and this may cause your bog.
I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 I'm customizing it can the rectifier be moved so it's not just hanging there.
Absolutely, the rectifier on your Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can be repositioned during a customization project. The rectifier is a crucial part of the motorcycle's electrical system, converting alternating current (AC) from the stator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the bike's electrical components.
While relocating the rectifier, it's important to consider a few key factors:
- Space and Mounting: Assess the available space on the motorcycle to find a suitable location for the rectifier. Ensure that the new position allows for proper mounting and secure attachment without interfering with other components or the bike's functionality.
- Heat Dissipation: The rectifier generates heat during operation, so it's essential to relocate it to an area with adequate airflow for cooling. Mounting it in a well-ventilated area helps prevent overheating issues.
- Wiring and Connections: When moving the rectifier, ensure that the wiring can be appropriately rerouted to reach its new location. Take care to maintain proper electrical connections and ensure a secure, stable wiring setup.
- Protection: Consider adding protective measures, such as shields or guards, to safeguard the relocated rectifier from road debris, water, or other potential hazards.
Modifying the placement of the rectifier may require custom brackets, mounts, or fabrication work to secure it in the desired location. It's crucial to execute the relocation carefully, maintaining proper electrical connections and ensuring the rectifier's safety and functionality.
If you're not confident in performing these modifications yourself, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or technician with experience in customizations can be highly beneficial. They can offer guidance, expertise, and ensure that the modifications are carried out safely and effectively.
