    I have the same bike! Same color, have had it since I was 18, now I’m 53. Great little bike!

    I owned one, in Canada this was a 1972 model. A fun bike.

    Talk about bringing back memories-I used to have one of these back in the ‘70s. Really fun to ride. 2stroke with a rotary valve.

      I believe they changed the (1) color option each year or 2. Mine was a ‘71 or ‘72. Had a 1970 CT-1 enduro and a ‘76 KE (I think) 175 as well. The little 100 was identical to the one in the video.

    Yes, strap to keep the seat off the side cover or muffler I believe.

    CMSNL is the best. If I can't find a part, they'll usually have it.
    I would have gone on line with a part number and paid way too much for those two ball bearings. I often forget that hardware stores carry stuff like that...although I don't remember seeing the ball bearings section at Home Depot or Lowes.

    That ball bearing/cog system is what Hodaka used for their entire transmission. Very simple.

    That motorcycle looks great for a 1971! Has it been restored? My friends had some motorcycles with Hi/Low range when I was growing up, never worked on one. Ironic that Honda had HI/Low gearbox’s on the Trail 90 and left it off the new CT125’s. As a result sounds as if the CT125 owners are trying to get a little more highway speed out of them. Don Reed

    Just got out my '71 to ride today. Mine does not have the cable and lever on the bars for the low range. You have to reach down to shift. It's a tank though. Nice bike.

    Two questions. Have you gotten that rust dissolver into an open cut yet? And did CSMSNL send you the little motorcycle guy key chain with your order? I have a few of those little guys. They may only put him in the box when you spend over a certain amount, I'm not sure. The shipping isn't bad considering it's coming from the Netherlands.

    • @motorcyclerewind
      @motorcyclerewind  6 місяців тому +3

      No rust dissolver in open cut. Will let you know when it happens. I had lots of the keychains. They now belong to my grandkids. What you gonna do? Thanks for watching.

    Not a 1971, It's a 1972. All 1972 Kawasaki's share the same paint scheme.
