Well, today after talking with my local dealers and one from out of town, I decided to buy a brand new 2003 KX100 for $2,900 plus tax.
Thanks for the information. The second link isn't working though, and I would love to read it. I ended up getting a moose skid plate, hand guards, pipe guard, and works connection radiator brace and frame guards. She loves the bike, and we're going again today. I don't have everything on the bike, because all the parts haven't come in yet.Originally posted by xrkx
I just bought a KX100 for my wife too. So far she loves it. Here are a couple of things that I have found for it....
www.utahsportcycle.com makes a really good looking full coverage skid plate for the bike.
www.motorcycle.com/01may03kawasaki2002kx10modified.htm is a good one to read too.

Is it Eric Gorr that is the best for this bike?
She's not into the whole internet thing, so I doubt you'll hear from her on here, unfortunately. The 12 oz Flywheel Weight from Steahly came today, so I can't wait to get it on for her. The remaining parts should be in soon too.Originally posted by CJ Rider
Hey Chris- I haven't had any trouble with it, but I (well, OK, my hubby) did cut the chain to fit properly and I (OK, really me this time) adjust it pretty often to keep it tight enough. Those little weenie non-O-ring chains tend to stretch a LOT, so ya have to keep an eye on 'em.
On another note... when are we gonna hear directly from "she with new bike?"
That's a good article! Thanks! I've got the flywheel weight, but I went with the heaviest they make, which may be too much, but I doubt it. If it comes to a point where she feels more comfortable, I'll mill it down to lighten it back up. I'd love to get her the IMS tank and I pipe down the road, but for right now the power is more than enough for her. She loves the bike. We rode this Sunday on a fairly challenging trail and I was very impressed with her riding. She's loving every minute of it! Thanks for all the help with this!Originally posted by xrkx
For the modified KX100 article go to www.motorcycledaily.com go to the bike test and scan down to the May 1, 2003. That is the article if you would like to read it. It is a KX100 set up for woods riding.
Good deal! I'll definitely keep him in mind when the time comes to rebuild or make it faster.Originally posted by dirty~d~
Eric is very skilled in the art of porting two strokes. If you are planning to have it worked on I recommend sending it to him. :cool:
Yup, Chris, the recomended 32:1 caused nothing but major spooge for me. There was a huge discussion about this for the little KX I think in the mini forum a while back (might want to do a search) and the consensus was that anywhere from 36:1 to 40:1 works great.Originally posted by ravencr
... By they way, what mixture are you folks running in this thing. I'm think 36:1 would be good, but what you think?
