    Ethan just recently got his 2007 Kawasaki KX85 back together again. He blew it up shortly after he bought it and had to rebuild it. He had the machine work done at Ritter Cycle Racing, in St. Jacob, IL, then he did the reassembly himself. It's definitely a strong runner now. Hope you find it interesting, thanks for watching!

    Just bought a 2002 KX85 today, first big wheel bike. This video made a big impression on me when trying to make my decision between an RM and a KX, needless to say I wasn’t disappointed, the KX absolutely rips... Thanks for the video, great content keep it up🙌

    The wee bike sounds sweet.
    My son had the KX80, it was a little flyer and has now got a CR85 big wheel, both great fun.
    Unfortunately he has outgrown it already, so I have to get my hand in my pocket for a 125. lol
    Keep the vids coming, they're a great reminder in the future, I've videoed everything from my son learned to ride.

    @shananagans5 8 років тому

    When I was a kid in the 70s & 80s the YZs & KXs were just coming out & things like the YZ 80 was a hot bike for an 80cc but it had nowhere near enough power for an adult to have fun, much less pull the front wheel off the ground. I realize the 80s was a long time ago but I am astonished at how much power that 85 has. The frame is a bit small for an adult but looks like power isn't a problem. Very cool!!

    • @RamblinAround
      @RamblinAround  8 років тому

      +shananagans5 They really have come a long way, the power they make is impressive. A kid on a KX85 can give an adult on a 125 or 250 a real run for their money...at least out of the hole. Thanks for watching!

    • @brodiestainbrook2607

      I would think you would be fine. There is some adjustment in the suspension. I was just lower the tension and drop the ride height a bit. The best thing would be to sit on one and see if your toes touch the ground.
