Does anyone know much about a 1976 kawasaki ke100? a guy is selling one non-running for $75 and Im thinking about getting it, any advice? thanks

Does it turn over? With compression? Knowing nothing about it I wouldnt pay more than $50.

[hondaken]

yea your right, idon't know enough about it yet, but he says it needs rings, he was asking $100,but came down to $75 today because he hasn't sold it. just wondering if anyone know info on bike like speed, power, handeling stuff like that, but thanks for your input it is apreciated.

That is a good ,durable,dependable bike.It is a trail bike.

Good bike, old technology so the shocks are poor by today's standards. It is an enduro.

Greetings:

Rotary-valve single with the carb behind a cover. 5-speed transmission. Oil-injection is cable controlled. Top speed about 60. The top end is subject to wear - and occasionally, seize - but should last 5-50K miles without abuse. Lots of fun in the dirt, can be a nice city ride too. They were made well into the 90s, so parts not yet obsolete. Good choice for cheap transportation.

They continued into the new millenium. I have owned two 2001 ke100's and a couple from the 90's.

I don't know about other locations, but around here that doesn't mean much on this old bike. One year of sitting and the points will need filed to get spark again.

Zombie threads are some of the best

True, I always like the ones about parts for sale. Sorry, don't think they still have that part 3 years later.

Any thread with a post from Kenny tells me to check the date. His profile shows he has not logged in since April.
