It depends on the condition of your cylinder and head. The Athena kit which pretty much gets you right back together is around $400. Just a piston, rings, bearing, and gaskets is around $120 or so. A replate, piston, rings, bearing, and gaskets is about $280-350. Add another $350 if you need to do the bottom end too.
The KX65 cylinder changed between 01 and 02 so technically the 01 is not supported with this kit. From what I've read the ports are slightly different but otherwise it should work. I can't verify that though.
Well technically I had my original replated with a new piston, the new Athena kit, and then a piston and rings haha. The 24 hour bike tends to be in progress until the day of the race lol
I really enjoy watching your videos. You're a good mechanic with superb attention to detail & quality.
Thank you!
After rebuilding countless 23-29cc goped top ends those circlips don’t look so small lol
Those must be microscopic haha
LPT. Gallon ziplock bag over the piston keeps the retainer from launching. It might land in the cases but...it'll be easier to find :D
After fishing a circlip from the cases I’m all ears on keeping these things from launching haha
What oil do you use?
Motul 710 for premix: amzn.to/3MhFych and
Motul 7100 for the trans: amzn.to/3Mo0FKd
I got the same kit the other day
Nice! Amazon won't ship this kit to my location anymore which is a huge bummer.
Did you have to change jetting
Nope, kept it the same.
How much is the cost of kx 65 rebuild
