So far its coming along. Installed a 99 cr125 motor in the frame. Have all the motor and coolant mounts welded in. Working on installing a link in on the swingarm. Putting a trx450r shock and linkage on. Going to be running a yzf450 hydraulic brake on the rear. The front will be getting trx250r two piston calipers with hubs and spindles. The back end is taking the longest so far.

never mind.

If everyone is wondering, i am building a Yamaha blaster with a 99 cr125 donor bike. I plan, if I can, to use the cr peg mounts and intagrate them on the quad. I want to also use the rear braking system. When I get my extended swingarm, the cr brake line will fit like it was ment to be there.

I am looking for the inside measurements of a Honda trx250r footpeg mount. I want to be able to mount an IMS 250r peg into the bike mounts on my 99 cr125.

Got my bike back together. Runs awesome. Does not smoke one bit. Has more compression than it ever had. Pull starts real easy. Does not leak a drop except from the carb. I need an air box and carb to box tube. I wonder if the klt185 airbox would fit. I also need to change the oil and put in gear lube into the diff. But its getting to cold for my liking...lol
-
How is the flow of gas from the petcock to the carb. Maybe it is partially plugged and not allowing sufficient flow to the carb. The bike maybe draining the bowl faster than it can refill it.
-
You will want to run it to a switched power source. If you run it direct, you will drain the battery when it is in storage.
-
Hopefully its an easy fix. If its anything like mine, should be pretty easy I'm sure. Also helps having the right tools...lol I need a valve compressor. I made due with what I have, but I'm not sure who makes one. I should check motion pro.
-
I haven't gone into the dealer to check parts yet but their web page doesnt go back that far. EBay is the only place I've been able to find parts. When I first got the machine, even eBay didn't sell anything...lol hope you 200 is an easy fix. What's it leaking? Oil?
-
it is an 85 kawasaki klt160. I found it was a one year only model. Parts can be had, but mainly used. Some of the parts from the bayou can be interchangeable. I had to modify a Yamaha banshee right muffler since the original can was completely rotted away. It looks cool, forestry approved and very quiet.

Beyween the foam and the plastic.

I would use filter specific sealing grease. You can use bearing grease, but it will degrade the filter to fast. As for the vin, I am not sure where it may be located. I would assume on one of the lower tubes of the frame by the motor but I am guessing.
-
No other filters. Just the screen. My 160 is just a smaller bore to the 185. Cases are the same. I have the manual for mine and the parts interchange. As I installed a 185 cam into my bike, the rear diff is 185. But, the parts in the diff are slightly different I found outn but motor wise, the same.
-
Your ATV has the same crankcase as my klt160. The oil filter is on the bottom next to the oil drain. The drain is the smaller bolt, the filter is the bigger one. Unscrew it and clean the screen out well and reinstall. 10w40 is the recommended oil viscosity from Kawasaki.

Got the motor torn down the first time. Put a new cam in. New valve stem seals. All new gaskets. Put it back together and she fired right up. Ran like New, but, she burned oil. Took it back apart again to see what I may have done wrong. Noticed one of the piston rings upside down. Oops. Fixed that and reset the ring end gap position and put it back together. Fired her up and no smoke.....for a couple seconds and than it was back. Tore it back down again. This time I decided to lap the valve seats while it was apart again. Turns out, my intake valve seal was bad. Good thing I had another new set. Put the second new set in and reassembled the head. Put it back together one last time. Fired her up and no smoke. Runs like a dream. Get my modified banshee muffler welded up and she will be one quiet machine.

Mornin. Now going back to bed...lol -
Buy the kit to remove the tors. You will be much happier and you will have an easier carb to adjust. Well worth the money. Once the tors starts to go bad, they are hard to adjust and cost more to fix.
-
I am a bit partial so I say kfx450. Kawasaki makes strong motor and a race ready frame. But that me.

my current toy. before pics

Have you checked all your grounds to be sure they haven't rusted? All your wire connections good? If you don't have a service manual, you should get one. You could have a weak spark, but its hard to tell without knowing all the values of the components and checking with a meter. Some valves need shims for adjustment and some have a nut you loosen and use a feeler gauge to check.
-
Solvent is your enemy. If you soaked it in carb cleaner, chances are the internal seals inside your carb are shot. Bad gas cam also cause carb issues. Could be valve adjustment issues, stretched cam chain. Just a few ideas.
-
If you have an old machine like I do, before you tear into it to do general maintenance, make sure parts are available. This 3 wheeler is becoming a pain in the butt.

A little help please if you can.

Electrical gremlins are a nightmare to trace. I would check continuity at the switch and see if it maybe bad. The winch itself may have a bad motor. It may work fine but it also maybe drawing amps away from the solenoid causing the starter to malfunction. I'm leaning towards the switch myself but that's me. -
Thank you. Glad to be here
