[QUOTE="CaptainObvious, post: 1058898, member: 17060"] The KX100 is pretty-much bullet proof. Change the gearbox oil every 5-hours, clean the airfilter with the same interval, check the chain before each ride (free play and oil) and keep it clean. If you aren’t riding in the powerband all the time, the top-end will last for a few seasons. The KX100 requires no more “normal” maintenance than a CRF100/150. Here’s a topic no one has brought up yet; proper riding gear for you and your son. The “power ranger” suits that we wear aren’t just for looks. The pants and shirts don’t rip when we fall (denim practically disintegrates – leading to nasty cuts and road-rash), gloves protect your hands, chest protectors due just as their name implies…you get the idea. Make sure you set aside some cash for gear. It’s not something that you “want to buy later” because you are most likely to have some crashes while in the learning phase of riding. As a minimum, I’d suggest the following gear: Helmet ($100-$150) Goggles ($40) Gloves ($15) Jersey ($30) Pants ($65) Boots ($125) Chest Protector ($65) There are a lot of on-line places to order from including MXSouth, Rocky Mountain, and Bob’s. However, it’s hard to buy a helmet and boots without trying them on. With that said, you might try to deal with your dealer, letting him/her know that you are intending to buy on-line if they can’t help you out. No get out there and have some fun. [/QUOTE]
