A detachable left rear section eases suspension and airbox maintenance. Overall ride height is increased 15mm through changes to the suspension system. A longer shock clevis and shortened pull rods in the UNI-TRAK linkage raise the rear end. The front fork has large stanchion tubes that are longer and placed further down in the triple clamps to raise the front end. Stiffer springs and damping settings are now utilized at both ends to improve handling on rough tracks.
Lightweight aluminum rims reduce unsprung weight to help improve suspension action.
Both wheels feature hydraulic disc brakes that not only provide great stopping power but require little maintenance and ease wheel removal. Rider maneuverability is enhanced by the tank, seat, and side covers that give the KX65 the slim, racy look of its larger siblings. The graphics match those of the other KX motocrossers to make the KX65 the best-looking mini on the track.
