Cylinder Works 01-13 Kawasaki KX 85 85cc Standard Bore Cylinder Kit 48.5mm

This Cylinder Works 85cc Standard Bore Cylinder Kit is designed for 2001-2013 Kawasaki KX 85 models. It's a complete package to bring your engine back to its original performance levels, offering a solid alternative to OEM parts without sacrificing the power you need for the track or trail. If you're looking to rebuild the top end of your KX 85 and want a reliable, well-built component, this kit is a strong contender.

Inside this kit, you'll find a cast aluminum cylinder from Cylinder Works, a Vertex piston, and all the necessary gaskets to get the job done. The cylinder features a nickel silicon carbide (NSC) electroplate bore. This advanced plating process allows for very tight tolerances, which means less friction as the piston moves up and down. That reduced friction translates to better efficiency and extreme durability for the bore itself. Furthermore, the bore is precision diamond honed to exact dimensions, ensuring the piston rings seal properly against the cylinder wall. This precise surface finish is crucial for both optimal ring seal and retaining the necessary oil film for proper lubrication, contributing to a long-lasting rebuild.

When you're putting this kit together, you'll appreciate the attention to detail that goes into each component. The Vertex piston is chosen for its quality and compatibility with the cylinder's specifications. Having all the required gaskets included means you can proceed with your rebuild without needing to source additional parts separately, making the process smoother. This kit aims to restore your KX 85's horsepower and performance to its factory specifications at a competitive price point compared to buying individual OEM components.
