WHIP INDUSTRIES KLX110L
Whip Industries team use the 2012 Kawasaki KLX 110L’s (Pictured Nathan Whitten's 2012 bike)
The team start of with a brand new stock bikes and then customise them to suit the individuals needs. The following things have been done to the whip team bikes
Engine – Engine is left stock, we add a pro circuit exhaust system to help improve power and also improve the exhaust note. All the team bikes run original oil filters and Maxima Syn Blend 10w –40 engine oil. The stock KLX engine is extremely smooth.
Chassis – The frame is left stock with no added strengthening. We fit our custom made heavy duty foot peg mounts which are made in house at WBR motorcycles. We then fit the 50mm wide super sharp SPP KXF 250/450 foot pegs. Pro Taper XR50 bars are fitted and the cross brace is modified to free up the front and give more room.
Suspension – We use an Elka rear shock, which is of a higher standard than the stock shock. The front forks we run standard fork springs but increase the spring preload and also run a heavy weight maxima fork oil and higher oil heights. With a fair bit of testing WBR motorcycles has a setting for the fork that has been working well.
Plastics – The bikes run genuine plastics, grab holes are cut into the side plates and there is also some light trimming needed on the air box for the grab holes to work. The front plate is zip tied back against the forks. Seat foam is cut down and the original seat cover reused.
Electrics – The battery and the electric start system is removed. This helps make way for the grab holes and also helps make the bikes a little bit lighter. A KX style kill switch is then fitted so the electric start button unit can be removed.
Other mods and parts – The wheels are striped down to be painted to add a bit of styling to the bikes. We grease the head steam bearings with Maxima waterproof grease to keep the steering good. MX Ink sticker kits are added to finish off the look of the bikes.
