VHM Cylinder Head Insert for KAWASAKI KX 85 2000-2013

VHM offers this cylinder head insert for KAWASAKI KX 85 2000-2013. On a two-piece head, the insert (the "dome") forms the combustion chamber. Its volume and shape set the compression and the character of the engine.

Why change the insert?

The benefits:

• Match the compression to your riding and your fuel without replacing the whole head.
• A part machined from solid, to precise dimensions.
• Replace an insert marked or damaged by detonation.

When should you change the insert?

Signs of detonation, leaking O-rings or the wish to change the compression: the insert can be swapped in minutes, with new O-rings.

Specifications and fitting tips

• Manufacturer part numbers: AE32016-N (Version N (7.80 cc)), AE32016-O (Version O (8 cc)), AE32016-P (Version P (8.20 cc))

Available in several combustion-chamber volumes: a smaller volume raises compression (more punch, quality fuel essential), a larger one lowers it (smoother engine).

Cross-Mania tip: Fit new O-rings, tighten in a cross pattern to the specified torque and, with a higher-compression insert, use high-octane fuel.
