Parts finally arrived for our Kawasaki KE100. Very exciting to get this thing back together, after it was assembled I tuned it up made sure the oil injector pump was working, then took it for a short ride around the yard. There was only one thing to do after that, see how fast it will go, so I took it for a top speed run and I was pleasantly surprised at how much power this bike had and how fast it went!! Repairing this bike was a challenge but well worth the effort! Thanks for watching!

Awesome! I had an '85 KE100, put that thing through hell and high water (literally on the water), even raced it in enduros and would jump it up to 80 feet on a local MX track (to a smooth backside, no problem), and the engine and transmission survived everything a 12 to 15 year-old crazy kid in the country could throw at it. Most serious repair was simply replacing worn clutch plates! Proved to be far more reliable than my KX250, KX125, YZ250F, and so on.

Makes me wanna look for another one of these bikes. My dad got me one from a guy he worked with out from under a guys back deck. Didnt run was all nasty me and my dad took it completely apart like u did and it ran like a champ. I used to let all my friends take turns on it and we would ride it all day all the time. I miss that thing alot it ran like a scalded dog every time.

Love it, thank for the memories. In 1973 I turned 15 living on Miami Beach and got a new KE100 my first bike it was an assume bike. I weighed very little so that thing hauled ass and did wheelies no problem. Rode it every day put a ton of miles on it never had an issue or brake down it started on every kick. I remember running 55 on I-95 got there in a flash, dont remember the top speed but it was up there I only weighed maybe 40 to 60 lbs. 1973 on my 16th birthday got my first RD350 and the beginning of a lot of bikes and fun. 🙂 😈

I just bought a KE100, first motorcycle I've owned as an adult. Great video, I learned a lot about how it works (I'm not that familiar with 2 strokes). Mine came without lights, or the speedometer. Any suggestions on how to find parts? I've checked ebay, but im not sure what fits.
