presentation of the KMX 125 1997

kawa's all-round trail bike, the Yam DTR's rival, is called KMX. While its more sport-oriented cousin, the KDX, offers great performance in its field, the M is also capable of great efficiency. Starting with the engine. The throttle is successful (rare enough to be worth mentioning) and doesn't suffocate the mechanics (in the free version, the mono reaches 24 hp at 9500 rpm, but it becomes greedier and noticeably noisier). The temperament is intact for this powerful, alert mono, which has to put up with an excessively long gear ratio. The chassis is a real gem. In town, the machine is very nimble, which is hardly surprising given its lightness and maneuverability. The seat is far too firm, but the suspension works efficiently and smoothly, enhancing comfort. When the road gets rough, the bike still manages to hold its own. With its faultless chassis, roadholding is impeccable. The brake discs do their job properly. A very pleasant machine to ride, with a very enthusiastic engine.

guiguit 56 Model 1986

hello
i have a question, how many kilometers can you drive at full speed = 115 kmh about, before tightening or damaging the motuer, because a friend tells me about 15 km. I had 4 strokes and the question does not arise, if there are professionals on the site, thank you if you have information in the meantime I am wary because it works very well up to 100 kmh

Hello
It's a two-stroke engine so you have to run on the mixture but on this bike there is an oil tank under the seat so you mail gasoline in your tank "95 or 98" and make sure there is oil if not you will break your engine 04/29/2018 08:26 Rating : 3/5 Participate in the conversation

Kmx 125cc 92 Model 1992

Hello,
Following a mechanical problem, more precisely 'blocking of the connecting rod', I had to drain and dismantle the engine. Now that it's back together, a primary question is on my mind: 'THE LEVEL OF GEARBOX OIL'. I'd like to know how much should I put in so that it's perfect?

Thanks for your help. 10/07/2015 13:06 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Kmx 125cc 92

pierre

on the right-hand side of the gearbox, at the bottom, there's a transparent window showing the oil level, which must not exceed the bubble
for greater safety, look on the internet for the exact quantity and type of oil to put in the gearbox 02/12/2021 01:53 Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation

pascal Model 1994

very pleasant bike
i've been riding it for 1 year now and it has 14,000 kms on both roads and trails, no worries
the only thing I have to complain about
is its slight lack of power
because even if I can get close to 140 km/h on a flat surface with the wind at my back, in the opposite case with a flat surface, I always have to relaunch it and it's hard to go above 115

FREDO Model 1986

bonjour a tous, cela fait un an que je possède ma kmx je l'ai acheté d'occasionaz mais aucun souci. Avec cette moto je fait 75 KM TOWARDS WORK EVERY DAY ET JE PASSE PAR UN PETIT COL POUR Y ALLER AVEC VIRRAGE SUR VIRRAGE C'EST UN VRAI REGALE CETTE MOTO A RERAIMENT UNE PARTIe CYCLE EXCEPTIONNEL ON A TRRAIMENTEL L'impression de piloter a velo BUT I RECOMMEND THAT EVERYBODY WHO OWNS IT SET THE SHOCKER TO 3 FOR COMPRESSION, BECAUSE OTHERWISE, IF YOU'RE A LITTLE GAMBLER WITH THIS BIKE, THE SHOCKER TENDS TO HIT THE GROUND IN SOME RUNS, ESPECIALLY WITH TWO BODYERS.
ENFIN It's true that to get the full power of this bike you have to climb to at least 7000 rpm before changing gears, otherwise it tends to creep a little 10/29/2005 11:11 Rating : 5/5 Respond to FREDO

Skywalker Model 1986

Sniff!
This was my first bike. I bought it in 88 and didn't sell it until 2000
But what memories!
Back then, they weren't bridled. It made 24 horsepower. And it was dynamite
Flexible, reliable and robust.
A real pleasure
Seeing it again on the internet breaks my heart..

gee Model 1986

my first bike the kmx I bought in 1996 with 50 000km on the odometer.at the time I rode in town and it was the absolute weapon 135km/h big potato I drop everyone at the lights.reliable ss big maintenance it took me everywhere. And last year, I got my foot back on the gas with a 2001 model 8000km 150km/h platinum sparkplug, and I'm back at it again. It's true that it's fast at its limits, but it's very safe, and it's only a 125cc after all

Full-Power Model 1986

It's been 6 months since I bought it second hand.good bike in general but it consumes a lot of fuel after 120 km I fall into reserve.to start it's a great bike but for me it's starting to be borderline as soon as I have two years of licence to be able to buy me a Z 750 with a Devil carbon and big big wheels there's going to be some sport.Voila and good ARSOUILLLLLLLLLLLE to all see you at the next red light. GAAAAAAAZZ 03/29/2005 13:38 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Full-Power

speedster Model 1986

I've had a (second-hand) kmx for 3 months now, and I use it all the time to ride into town, where I get around in traffic jams without wasting (almost) any time. In terms of responsiveness, I think it's hard to beat the 125, as the bike takes off under acceleration when you open it up. Be sure to have your wallet ready for a full tank of fuel, though, as it's very thirsty. But if you handle it lightly and don't speed on the freeway, it gets away with less than 4L/100. Finally, it brakes well (even with two people, it's a bit of a handful...), it holds the road well, and yet I'm still pretty aggressive. Well, I wouldn't have expected better until I had the money to buy a bigger engine...:) 12/22/2004 21:57 Rating : 5/5 Respond to speedster
