Welcome to the forums, Tanzania!!! Wow. The only person I know from there is Supper Producer Sully on the radio station http://www.1077thebone.com He's hilarious. If you get a chance tune in and enjoy the best classic rock ever. Anyway, what other bikes are available in your area? Shoot up some pics of where you live, we always enjoy rides from all over the place.

This is an all-around good bike, the only thing is it doesn't have good low-end. New reeds or a pipe could fix this, since most trail riders keep their bikes in the low RPM's. The bike is trailable off the floor, but you have to keep it in the powerband and be prepared to shift a lot. How bumpy are your trails. If they have a lot of rocks or ruts (like mine) the bike will jump a lot as you jerk the throttle on the bumps [super-sensitive in the powerband]. Maybe a 4-stroke would be better suited for your trails. Pictures will make it easier to decide.

i chose the kx 100 cause i thought it would have better lowend than the 85.
i thought about the crf150r but its so expensive i dont want to pay for it and i heard the parts are also realy expensive!
most of my freinds ride 85's so i want a bike that can keep up with them and u said reeds and a exhast would help, do hav anything inmind that i can use??
the trails i ride always change it can be sandy, mudy, ruts, and sumtims there can be long straights where i could realy use the top end!!
is it possible to make a kx 100 a small wheel????
these ar the mods i am planing on doing:
fmf fatty pipe
fmf Q spark aresttor
ims 2.4 gallon fuel tank
fmf masher handguards
steahly kick stand
skid plate
radiator guard (not sure where to get it??)
(maybe) a 12oz flywheel

what year are you thinking.
i would go for an fmf fatty/gnarly and an fmf powercore2.
i would recommend the v-force 3 reed. its made to increase low and mid end, which would make the bike better on the trails.
not sure if a rad guard is a great idea. it has plastic fins on it anyways.

v-force won't take away your top end.
the powercore 2 isnt as quiet as the q, the PC2 is made for racing and the q is made for quieting down the bike
i can't see any reason you couldn't make it a small wheel. if you could get smaller rims to fit the kx and appropriate tires. maybe a klx wheel would fit? go to the nearest kawasaki dealer and ask around. you could order the klx rims there too.

ive recently just instaled my v-force reeds and i dont no if it gave more low and midrange power but it defineetly made a better throttle response!!!
also after doing a little trip i was wondering if i could make the kx more like an adventure bike so maybe i can carry around my sleeping bag, tent, etc...
so if u have any info it would rely help!!
