Post by: Rota Ash on July 25, 2010, 03:07:44 PM

Picked up a cheap 97 KX 100 on the weekend for the girlfriend, she loves it, its an older non powervalve model, she hasn't ridin it yet but it fits her perfect, think she will get a shock when it hits band :)

Looks real nice, I always find it funny when anyone referrs to a 1990's bike as 'older', a 1997 is a brand new bike.

Actually, that's not too far off the bike my mom used to ride.  It, too, was a 100cc Kawasaki, although it was street-legal and most emphatically did not hit hard.  Very easy-going and quiet little bike, but it eventually went away when my mom stopped riding and I got the 120.  Never did get to ride it, myself.

Hey, you stole my idea!  That little two-stroke diagram in your signature was my original signature from way back when TSM was just starting as a forum.

Okay, sorry, back on-topic.

Just bolt a big propeller, like from a small yacht, to the crankshaft and have it coming out of the motor on the clutch side.  That should smooth out the power, just remember to use a good seal and insurance company.  Or have two of them, one on either side of the motor.  That way, the bike can never fall down!

took it out for a ride today with her, she loved it and so did i, at the start she was riding it like a 4 stroke but i told her to rev it a bit more and she had a smile from ear to ear, i took it for a ride too, haha picked up the front wheel 1st 2nd and 3rd, would be a very quick bike in a very tight track with sharp corners!!
