KX 100 Seat Height Adjustments
« on: September 22, 2010, 12:17:13 AM »
Anyone know the max seat height adjustment on the KX-100?  Or has anyone made any modification to a KX-100 or 85 to adjust for a taller but smaller rider (i.e. girl)? She is all legs!!

Thanks

Boullion,
On your KX100 are you running the "Big Wheels" or the same size as the 80/85?

I did not purchase the bike yet. However, I was assuming that all the 100's were pretty much the same frame as the 80 with a longer swing arm and the larger wheels?  Did not think they came with the smaller wheels?  I'm considering a 100 for my daughter, she had a CR-80 with the normal small wheels and she really was too tall for it (All legs!). Long story behind it but I sold the 80.  I have an 05 KX-125 that I put a KDX220r motor on for woods riding. The 125 is closer to the right height for her but, she would rather something a little lighter.  That's why I'm considering a 100.  My only other concern with the 100 is the distance from the foot pegs to the top of the seat.  Like I said, she is all legs at 5'7" but barely tips the scale at 100lbs.

Did the 100's come with either small or big wheels off the showroom floor?

No the KX100 didn't come with the smaller wheel option, but the KX80 wheels bolt right on. This however is backwards from the question you asked. The seat height is pretty much unchangeable without changing the geometry of the bike. I believe that you can get a taller seat foam, and know for sure you can put a taller handle bar on it as well. For her weight or rather lack of weight, you should also consider investing in springs for her weight. Diverse Suspension products has them starting at $75 a pair for forks, and $75 fork a single shock.
