    RACE TUNING INFORMATION

    Subject
    The following modifications increase and extend the power range, making the vehicle more competitive for the experienced racer.
    MODIFIED

    CAUTION
    Kawasaki cannot accept any responsibility for the results of the modifications described in this bulletin. Whenever the power output of an engine is increased, the reliability and durability of the engine decrease. This is especially true of competition engines, which are highly stressed even in stock form. For best results, engine modifications should be made by an experienced engine tuner.

    STOCK

    OUTPUT

    Modification Procedures Cylinder:


    The following modification increases midrange and high speed power while retaining low speed power. Grind and smooth the shaded areas in the intake, exhaust and scavenging ports as shown.
    RPM

    Polish the surfaces of the exhaust and scavenging passages with emery cloth, especially near the ports into the cylinder, to allow smoother gas flow. Measure the levels of the ports and grind the tops of the ports to match the measurements in the figure.

    Cylinder Ports

    All dimensions in mm

    1. Exhaust Ports 2. Scavenging Port 3. Sub-scavenging Ports

    CAUTION
    Maintain the original shape of the ports, and chamfer the sharp edges to prevent ring damage. Removing more material than specified may result in a loss of power.

    Flywheel Magneto Rotor (Optional Parts):


    Four (4) types of rotors are available. These can be installed to change the inertia moment. Select one according to the race conditions.

    Cylinder Head:
    Cut the cylinder head base by 0.2 mm to increase the compression rations.
    Dimensions in micron

    Spark Plug:
    Use the recommended racing spark plug.
    Spark Plug R6385-9P (NGK)
    Ry6.3 CYLINDER HEAD BASE CUTTING SURFACE SURFACE ROUGHNESS (Ry6.3: Highest of Roughness)

    Part Number 92070-1236

    CAUTION
    Use a racing fuel with Research Octane Number (RON) 105 or higher, to help prevent abnormal combustion caused by the increased compression pressure from this modification.

    Ignition Timing
    Stock Modified BTDC 10.3 / 11000 (rpm) BTDC 12.3 / 11000 (rpm)

    Modify the ignition timing by turning the stator 2 degrees clockwise. o There are three timing marks on the stator in 2 degree intervals; the stock machine uses the center of the marks. Shifting one mark changes the ignition timing by 2 degrees.

    Optional Carburetor Jet Needle and Throttle Valve Cutaway


    The optional carburetor jets for the 01 KX125-L3 are listed on the last page of this bulletin.
