Can i use tw3 oil
That's specifically made for marine use. I'd steer clear. Try the Mobil 1 4T racing, if you want a good oil.
Bike was running perfect then
Sounds serious, but good that you have compression. Can you remove the head? If yes, you can get a look at the cylinder walls.
Hard to diagnose without disassembly.
I have a 1982 KDX80
If you have spark but putting gas down the spark plug hole doesn't even seem to allow the engine to fire up for a few seconds, then you might have a timing problem.
Compression, if you feel it or measure it with a gauge, is usually not the problem on these motorcycles.
Look for timing.

32 to 1. That means 4 ounces of engine oil per gallon of gas. Be sure to use 2 stroke ENGINE oil, not standard Motor oil. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

I need to replace the
It is a massive job you are talking about doing there. The engine must be removed, and entirely dismantled. Then the engine cases must be split to remove the crank. Not something you should attempt without a work shop manual, and lots of mechanical knowledge.
The crank bearings need to be pressed on.
Im thinking that my 99
It can be un-flooded if you let the bike sit for a half an hour to an hour if its not starting check your spark plug or replace it and check to make sure your carburetor is not dirty.
Im not getting spark on my 1986 kx 125.
Use a volt meter or test light to see if have output. If not check that you have a good ground everywhere. I am assuming that you have changed the plug wire if you went this far. Good Luck
I have a 98 kx125 that starts and idles fine, but
I don't know a lot about Kawasaki motorcycles nor the carbs they put on them. But, I do know a bit about jetting carbs. The first thing that strikes me is the 152 main jet when a 160 is stock. This represents a very large move. Usually when we put a set of open pipes on a bike, we wind up richening up the mixture by one jet size. The difference in yours is at least three steps. I'd go back to the original and start over. This is going to be the least expensive way to go anyway.
As for the solenoid, it depends on what that solenoid does. If it opens a "mid range port" somewhere, that could indeed be the problem as well. Without knowing what this solenoid does, it's hard to say. You could take the solenoid out and spray that carb cleaner in the hole and find out where it goes and determine what it does. Someone may know how to test it for proper operation.
Also, it could be an exhaust restriction. check the pipe and I think what you're talking about is the variable exhaust port operation. (KIPS?) If the exhaust is not opening or restricted, it won't rev up either. Good Luck and sorry I couldn't be of more help.
What year model engine if any would fit in a 92 model kx125
Any engine will fit, with enough custom modification. However Kawasaki makes 400 and 600cc sizes in their "K" series. Also I believe their is a KX 175 that is almost exactly the same as what you have, only with more displacement. If you are just wanting more power you could think about boring out the pistons and putting in larger valves. Otherwise known as a "big bore kit", this is usually easier than creating custom engine mounts.
