Hey guys, just traded for this bike in a box and I'm having trouble figuring out where all these damn cables go. On the handle bars there's two throttle cables, a clutch cable and a single decomp cable and a choke plunger. On the engine there's a lever for the kickstarter, a clutch lever, decomp...

Not a cafe but I figured y'all would appreciate this. Took the GFs 1972 Kawasaki G5 (100cc rotary valve 2 stroker) round the block about a week ago. I made it about 2 miles and it just cuts out like I flipped a switch. Okaayyy..... call my dad and we get the bike home and I didn't get to look at...

So I need a new ignition coil for my 1977 ke100. The only problem is the only ones I can find are on ebay for $50 and they come from Indonesia. Lol so I'm trying to find a coil off another bike that would work for it. I believe the coil needs to be between 1.5 and 1.9 ohm on the primary and 10k...

I'm bringing this little bike back from the grave after god knows how many years it sat outside. I poured about a half cup of water out of the case and needless to say, everything was locked up tight. Along with the flywheel being seized onto the shaft. And I mean SEIZED. Nothing worked, the...

After lurking and learning for a few months since I bought my bike I figured I would join up and show everyone how far she's come. I was looking for a small cheap project bike to build over the winter and become my first street bike in the spring. After trolling craigslist for a month, I picked...
