KX85 Or KX100|Which Is For You?

- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- So in the past four days I ended up with a 2014 Kx85 that is all original. And a 2016 Kx100 that is also all original. While I still had both I thought I’d do a comparison for you guys. The specs are based on the 2020 models.

@@cityheightsdun4136 but once your comfortable on the 100 or 85 move up to a 125
I’m 13 and 5’7, would a 100 or 125 be better for me
Make me feel all fuzzy inside. I love these things
LittleMan. TeamWaxOffRoad you need to get back with Team Green!
@@TeamWaxOffroad do you have anything else
@@elaxel3363 no I don't
@@TeamWaxOffroad oh alright
@@TeamWaxOffroad what would you recommend a good starter bike I wanna get one but don’t know Wich one
Love the 2 strokes! Was just watching the Redbull straight rhythm reminiscing about the 90's haha. Good video!
HMX Trails I was watching UA-cam videos of that and it was awesome!! I’m liking the two strokes. I’ve switched from a four stroke lol. Thanks for watching!
2 stroke gang
His bikes are so clean it looks like he doesn’t ride them
I didn't ride them very much, neither had been rode a lot when I bought them, especially the 100, but both are sold now.
I have a 140l and it is covered in mud because it keeps raining
85
@@TeamWaxOffroad I am interested in the 85 how much do you want for I'll buy it off of you how much are you selling it for a million dollars are 1,000 Grand are two grand goes ghost t h o s 2000 Grand I can buy it a thousand Grand I can buy it for a thousand Grand
How much is it for your kx100 kx85
The editing and narrating is 👌 you definitely helped make my decision thank you!
Noah Wile thank you! The support means a lot and you’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I’m 5’8” @ 155lb. 85 is GREAT but I would probably get the 100 now.
Thank u so much u are the only person who had did a video like this and I needed a video like this
no problem man!
Thanks for mentioning the hight difference I’m 12 soon ima be cruising around on a 100
Sounds good!
@Austin Foster I was 5.5 at the time now I’m 5.8 feet
They both sound so good
kilbeggan_man 26 yep and they run good too!
Raised on fumes 💨
Wheelin Dylan can’t get much better than that!
Thanks it helped a lot, I’m about 5”3 so I’m going with the 100 it’s gonna be my first 2 stroke but I am an experienced rider
sweet!
Need more people like you so they won’t stop making them 2 strokes are awesome 4 strokes suck you will see when you get on one don’t rev it like he did cold tho go in 2nd gear and let it carry you for a few minutes
Let’s just say, do not underestimate a kx85
agreed.
those bikes are fookin awesome.id ride the kx 100.
jennifer bradshaw yes the kx100 is a blast! I like the 85 too!
I still have my kx100, its the perfect play bike. Everyone has pit bikes and the kx100 is my pit bike. My is a 105 so it hits a lil harder than a stock but its fun to ride.
I love them!
how many hours does your bike have ? how often do u have to repaid that 2stroke kx100?
@@finessedtaeyt I don't have it anymore but they both probably had under 16 hours on them. We rebuild them when they start losing power.
Incredible review, thx and I’m subbing
Thanks man!
I personally like 85’s more just because the 100’s are tall and harder to start.
They aren’t hard to start though
Depending on your height. If you’re on the shorter side, I could see it being a little more difficult to start
Can’t wait to see what you’re riding in the next vid...”well the 100 is gone but check out my 94’ KX500”!
Flying Brian DO don’t be giving me any ideas I don’t want to cripple myself lol!
This kid is going places not college but places
Hopefully these are good places lol
Kid seems wiser then the average. Fan of Honda, Kawi, get it!
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
Sarcasm for the win!
Nice job Lando! I'm wanting to take the new KLX300 for a rip personally.. See if I still got it.. HAHAHHA! I love team green bikes, ride my Vaquero every day and looking for a KLR 650..
Dirt ObseXXion You still got it. Go for it! Lol
Great bike love it!
keep the great work up the video is amazing and helped me out so much
Thanks man! Glad it helped!
Great video got the info I needed... appreciated.
Awesome, Thanks for watching
Just bought a clean 2010 kx85 today for only 1200 with title and only 12 hours on the fresh top end
you found a good deal there
Both are great bikes..!! Keep what suites you best Lando..!!
-Doc- TEAM WAX will do Doc. I’m liking the 100 right now.
Good video brotha, subbed.
Thanks!
this was really helpful when I was shopping for a new bike
I'm looking to get one of those, I've been waiting for 3 years
You will love it
How big is the diffrence? I'm 5'3" and dont know which one I should get. The seat height is only around an inch.
Goatages if I were you I’d sit on the 100 and see how comfortable you were on it. You should be able to flat foot or almost touch flat foot in the 85 but not the 100.
I always would get a bike that a tiny bit to big for me and grow in it, I got a Kx100 about 3 months ago when I was like 5’1 if that, but the size was fine because I rode a 150f before, so if the bike a little small I would say it’s fine as long as you can still touch the ground good. And a slightly taller bike is harder to kickstart when you can’t hardly touch the ground. But you being 5’3 you would be perfect of a 100
Team Wax Offroad I’m 5’10 do you think I’d be able to flat foot the 100?
Yeah you would easy. I'm 5'3 and went with a full sized bike you need a full sized bike probably a 125 2 stroke if your a beginner
I have a Cr 85 big wheel I am about
5 foot 5 and want to upgrade to the kx 100 you think it’s a good idea
Antonio Martinez I say it’d be about perfect for you then. You’re about my height and the 100 fits me perfect. I say it’s a good idea
Sorry but no theirs not enough of a power change so you’ll be better of getting a yz125 or any 125 2stroke. Trust me I have a kx100 and it’s awesome but I went from a 65 to it.
The only good way to know is if you can ride one, watching a vid is good to know about the bike but you can never really know till you ride one
The bottom end of the motor is the same just jug and piston is different
I like yz 85 and Kx 85
Thanks for watching
Bruh it looks pretty green it doesn’t even need rain in Australia that grass would be dirt
In America, especially Kentucky, it’s pretty dang green LOL
@@TeamWaxOffroad
Like the bikes😂
Do you go to tracks with those or do you just kinda go everywhere on those bikes?
we just go everywhere with them
I’m 5’8 at 12 and I don’t know if I should go for the 100 or just get a 125 and wait till I grow
100 would do for a little while.
@@TeamWaxOffroad cheers
Is there a difference between the two bikes except the wheels but if I had a kx 100 would I race in the 85 class?
Like kawasaki kx 85 best thanks for info on them class👍🇬🇧
I'm 6 ft tall but will be new to 2 strokes, I think I might just get the 85cc and get bigger wheels and maybe a longer swing arm
That’s basically the only difference between an 85 and 100
Yeah thats true, it was said in the video lol, might be cheaper and less hassle to get the 100 but I havnt seen any 100's, even the kx85 is rarely seen now
@@ryanfountain4878yz85 is the same size as the kx100.
i’m 5’7 and 135 pounds which one should i get the 85 or 100?
100
Kx 125 but this young guy actually makes few good points and is right. The kx 85 and 100 make a big wheel that puts the 85 to 100 height and 100 to 125 height entry zone. Your height and weight and experience all matter. If inexperienced I'd definitely say 100 but if you have rode I'd definitely go 125 and just ride safe and smart. I'm 5"2 and 150 but I love my 85 and 125. My draw back is I can only tip toe the 125 and have had some scary close calls. I bought a klx 140r and love it. Perfect for where I was in dangerous places on the 125 and being 4 stroke easier to handle. You may want a klx 140 if new rider. A 2 stroke is a bike you have to ride on the throttle at all times. Up a hill hammer and fan clutch. In flat straight you still have to open it up or you lug it foul a plug gum carb ect. All 4 bikes run around same speed but the 140 take a while to get it up. Good luck
Love to energy keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks!!
My brother who is really bad I don’t like riding watch the kids 100 and when I wish to ride a PW 80 I reckon😅
I have a newer model kx 85 it runs but now it runs faster got the kx 85cc with the 100 head on it withe brand new piston and rings on it make it a lot faster once I changed the head and put new top end kit luv the 85cc super mini gonna fix me one real soon take care of them fine looking kx that you have some great looking kx super keep the great work up Mike holden out of North Carolina said that
Michael Holden yeah you can make them 85s really fast if you do the right stuff to the motor. And we’ll take care of the 100 don’t worry! Thanks for watching!
I’m thinking getting my brother the 100 let him ride my yz125 but it was to big for him but he ain’t a slow rider so 1 or 2 seasons on a super mini night be enough for him
comrade then I say the 100 is about right for him. Thanks for watching!
Sammk get a 85 with a wheel kit
I ride a crf125f big wheel, are these bikes small as in like actual size of the bike not the engines
Rad Planet the Kx85 is taller than the 125 as far as seat height. It is about 2 inches taller. The 100 is about four inches taller than the 125.
@@TeamWaxOffroad thanks! So would this bike feel small for a rider 5'9- 5'11
Rad Planet the 100 may suit you a little bit better than an 85. I went from an 85 to a 100 because an 85 was too short. I am about 5’6. So a 100 may fit a rider that tall a little better
@@radplanet7488 I'm 5'9 135#, and my girlfriend has both a crf125f big wheel and a kx100. The suspension on the 100 will sag way more than the 125f, so when sitting on them, for me they are about the same height sitting. The 100 is slightly taller, but it's way more bike. They both feel really small for me though. I ride a KTM 150.
Rad Planet don’t waste your money im 5’10 and the kx100 is way to small my kx250f fits me perfectly.
Seat height is less then 1" difference between the two
which one is taller
i probably get an 85 for my stepson, he is 5'5 but has short legs and longer upper body.
Yeah prolly would be a good fit
@@TeamWaxOffroad buying a new 2019 RM 85 i found for just under msrp taxes, freight and prep included.
So I’m 14 and 6 foot. I’m thinking of buying my first bike. My dream bike is the kx100. Do u think that would be a good size for me?
It all depends on what you do for riding and skill I’m 14 and 6 ft and I ride a 450 just test ride some 125-100-85s and see how you like the power
I would love a kx100 but im 5'1, would I be all enough for a 100, it would also be my first 2 stroke ( ive always rode a 4)
an 85 would probably suit you better at that height
@@TeamWaxOffroad thank you
Did you at least get to swap ur number plates and the aftermarket handlebars an handguards onto the kx100?
N Kastis sadly, no. We weren’t too big on the number plates since we didn’t race and we were going to swap handlebars and hand guards but stuff happened and it got really annoying and complicated lol!
New to bikes and I have a 2015 kx100 can I use a 85 cylinder on it
When you start the kx100 do you give it gas of no
Or
When it’s cold I barely do with the choke on, when it’s already been running you don’t have to
Was going to get one of these a long time ago, said screw it got a 250f Way better
@13432 2dkti3 yea, my bikes starting to get boring too. At this point I just want dumb power
Now I now now which one to get after that story about the 5 foot guy and I am 5ft 2in
Glad it helped!
Do you think the 85 is too tall for me if im 5 foot tall?
No u should be fine, u might have to lower the bike a little tho
You would be fine.
@@TeamWaxOffroad oh ok thanks homie!
Just bought a kx100 with 85 frame
Sweet!!
Where do I get Kawasaki what shops normally have them like Coes I don’t have a Kawasaki shop in my town
Just the same bike with a different barrel and piston, like you couldn’t tell a difference between an 85 big wheel and a 100
I’m 14 years old and 5’8” and I’ve been riding for about 9 months on a crf100 trail bike and I fit on my dads cr125 2 stroke but I think that’s a little to much power for me right now should I go with a kx100 for about a year?
heck yeah man i’m your height and age just about
@@TeamWaxOffroad bet I’m prolly gonna do it cuz there’s a 2018 kx100 30 minutes away from me for $3,000 or best offer
@@29jade not a bad deal
I haven’t ever had a dirtbike. I’m looking to start on a 100 should I? I’m 5’7 like 140 lbs I’m 14 years old, what dirtbike would you recommend to start on?
Ethan Reinhardt if you are going to trail ride the bike, I wouldn’t suggest getting a 100. I would recommend getting a four stroke if you’re gonna trail ride, like a Crf 250f, Crf230f, klx230, etc. If you plan on riding it on a track I may suggest a Crf150rb.
Team Wax Offroad so for trail riding and for being my age height and weight. You recommend a 230?
Team Wax Offroad I’m trying to stick with a Kawasaki so should I just get a Klx 230
Ethan Reinhardt I would say that’s your best bet then
Someone is willing to traded my 2015 Kx85 for a 2017 Kx100- should I do it
Both are great bikes. Just depends what fits you best. Thanks
@@TeamWaxOffroad trynna get a bigger bike mate
Insane🔥
It is
i’m a 5’11 beginner will any of these bikes be good for me
Try the 125 two strokes
Team Wax Offroad if I can touch both feet on a 30.7 inch dirt bike can I fit on them
Yes
Team Wax Offroad thx dude I have a 2020 klx 140 and I’m already out growing it so I’ll probably get a 100 I wonder if I could fit on a yz 125 which has a 39.3 probably not
Team Wax Offroad cuz the kx 85 and kx 100 ain’t much bigger than a klx 140l but my klx is a regular klx 140 but I measured from the ground to my seat it’s said 31 something so idk thx for your help
Which one is faster
Both would be very close but in the long run the 100 would eventually win.
I am 4’11 85 pounds so the 85 is good for me right
Yes
I was born with this 5.3 height so but ill try to get that 100ks hope wont regret this been my dream since i was a kid
It might fit you good. Hope you get one!
Hi I am 13 and I have a choice to buy a used kx85 or a brand new appolo 125cc
I would go with the 85 definitely man
Good looking bikes
Joey Edwards thank ya!
How tall would I have to be to ride a 100 or an 85
I would recommend at least 5 ft for 85
5’2 for 100
im 13 and 5’9 which one should i get? i have never drove a 2 stroke.
The 100 would bend your legs quite a bit, but it might be okay
@@TeamWaxOffroad does that mean it would be a little small?
@@nickwagner2627 yeah it would be a little small but I’ve seen kids your height ride Kx65s for fun so if you don’t mind it being a little small then that’s okay

@@TeamWaxOffroad thanks!
which is the best carburator kx 100 or kx85?
Both work
Would u recommend a kx 85 to not a new rider but not a pro
Depends on their size.
I am 4 foot 7 and the 85 would be better for me right? i am learning how to ride 2 stroke, im a pretty good rider so i could handle the 100 but i don't know about the size, 85 would be better right?
Shew, being that tall I just don't think you're even tall enough for an 85. I know people who are 5 feet tall and can barely ride the 85, so with you being five inches shorter, I just don't think it'd work. But you can try sitting on one, if you're mind is set on a two stroke then the next best thing may be a 65. But take a look in person and decide yourself.
@@TeamWaxOffroad i tied a 65 and it was too small for me and i ride a 26 inch wheele mountain bike so i think i am already preety comfortable on a big bike, let me know please
@@TeamWaxOffroad i am also a big fan of you channel, im subbed
Thanks man, well the 85 is quite a bit taller than a 26” bike. But the best advice I can give you is to go check one out for yourself.
@@TeamWaxOffroad ok, thank you so much
Soo I have a 2001 kx 85 and wondering if the 2018 kx85 plastics will fit on 2001 kx85
Not for certain actually, if the frames are the same then they should fit. I doubt they will, though.
Awesome vid and edits and filming and bikes and property and shop
somebody help me i want a bike but i don’t know what i should get , i’m 14 , 5’11 and like 160lbs what should i get ?🤔
Would recommend a 125. Thanks for watching
Team Wax Offroad it will be my first bike tho , you don’t think it will be too powerful ? , and what kind you think yz,cr,kx ?
For your size, I would go for it. Team Green all the way in bikes.
Team Wax Offroad yeah i’m going to go with a kx 125 i heard the power is low so it will be a good start off
How much is it for your dirt bike KX85
I don't have mine anymore, but a new one will run you around $4600 after tax, a used one can be anywhere from $1300 to $3500
Kind of a dumb question but could you race the kx85 in the 85 class? And would the kx100 belong in any class. Sorry I'm new to dirt bikes.
Yeah the 85 runs in that class haha, but I don’t know about the 100 you may have to google it
@@TeamWaxOffroad thx
I’m just under 5,8. Would I fit on the 2021 Kawasaki kx 100
Yes you would I believe
Buy a blown up kx85 for cheap and buy a 100 or 112 cylinder and crank for it?
I'm 5'2 in a have an 85 but looking to buy a 100 would I fit on the 100
Most def
You would love a 100.
I’m 15 6’2 and 190 lbs should I get a 100 or 125 or a 250??
Definitely a 250 buddy.
Im 5”3/5”4 which should i get?
I'd try the 100
14 about to be 15 in august & i’m 5’4... which one should i grab for the summer?
Kx100 all the way.
Kx100 all the way
Hi should I get the 100. I am 5,4 170lbs 12yrs old. I have a rm85 but once I sit on it, the suspension goes way down and the bike is tiny. Should i get a 100 or just wait until I’m tall enough for a 125.
try sitting on a 100 before you buy one
Ok thanks
I have a kx 100 it is the best
Matthew Marshall they are a blast! I love mine
Hey, I’m 11years old 4’11 do you think a Kx 85 would be good for me?
I'd try sitting on one first to make sure, it could be a little tall
Thanks for the info dude! I’ll try the Kx 100 as well to see how it fits.
Team Green !
C Clemons you know it
I am 5,3 could I ride the kx100. to give you a idea of my riding level, I ride 4 strokes all the time and am very familiar with them and very familiar with the clutch
Two strokes don't feel the same as a four stroke, but I think you could learn the 100 without much trouble
@@TeamWaxOffroad cool. thank you for replying not a lot of people do that
im 5,6 is an kx85 good for me
maybe try a 100 or the new 112 if you’re looking to buy new, an 85 might be a little small
I found the KX85 85 on my craigslist page😂
Wasn’t our Kx unless the man that bought it from us was selling it lol
The 85 was only smaller because that 85 is a small wheel you can get a big wheel 85 and if u did have a big wheel 85 it would be the same
Pmv true. Just comparing what I had. Thanks for watching
Ok so I ride the Kx100 and it’s amazing and has a tone of power, I’m gonna race it a ton (hopefully). But how long should I ride the 100 before going to a rmz 250? I’m like 5’3
Charter Guard ehhh I would go until you can bend your knees pretty good on that 100 if you’re gonna directly switch to a 250. They’re still decently tall. I can hardly even tip toe on one foot on a 450 and I’m about 5’6
Thank you. I just wanted a second opinion because some people said get a 125 or 250 and some get a 85 or 100, I can kind of touch on my friends 250 but not really.
@@carterguard3920 I'm just shy of 6'4 and even the 250's have given me some trouble sometimes.
I guess it's dependent on your age and how much you're expected to grow?
King Camo the only way to know is to wait
@@carterguard3920 Yep, who knows man. . . I'm only 16 as of Febuary. Patience is key.
is a klx 140 good for enduro
It would get the job done, but you'd find yourself wanting more power and comfort with the lack of power and suspension, probably wouldn't highly recommend if you're going to do it competitively
i’m 5’7 or 5’8 ish and 134lbs, i ride a honda XL100 and i’m looking at the KX85 i’m still a beginner and like the bike not to big for me but enough where both feet are touching and i have lots of control, would an 85 be best?
you would have the most control on the 85, but i’d also look into the 100
Is it way too small for someone that is around 5’9 or 10 and I’m 13
Yeah it’d be too small
If you've never ridden before, then no it would not be to small. The power is something you need to get used to, bikes always sell so you can move up later when you're ready. Don't base it just off your height
Is the 100 for sell now or nah
nah sorry man
Ok thanks
i’m 5’4 i have a rm85 big wheel should i go for a yz250 next year?
YZ250 may be a little too tall for your height, a 125 two smoker may be a good fit
thank you for the useful information
no prob!
This video is a good help, but I’m deciding on which one do I want I don’t mind the 85 but I just like the big wheels on the 100 & CR85’s but mainly I want a 100 but if I was to get a kx85 could I put the big wheel tires on there or?
That’s one of the main differences in the 85 and 100, the 100 has a longer swing arm, of course. But I’m not for sure how that would work though.
Team Wax Offroad right, I’m probably gonna just go with the 100 then lol
I’m 5”2 what size would fit me?
Take your pick!
