It would be more natural to say:
I don't want to express my opinion without knowing more about it first
or
I don't want to say anything until I learn more about it
Your sentences would be better and more natural if you used 'knowing more' instead of 'knowledge'

I do not want to give my opinion without further research on the subject.
express is fine - knowledge is fine, yet the sentence above is more likely used. By saying research, you avoid admitting you do not have the knowledge, and let the listener not know what questions you need answered.

Only the first requires "about the subject" at its end to keep the same meaning of the other ones.
