Hey Kevin. Thanks again for the videos. I’m gonna change the clutch on my boys 97 ke100. I haven’t taken it apart and want to get parts prior as much as possible. I noted the case seal,oiler seal and kick start seal. Anything else you you recommend? Also considering the barnett clutch. Should I do the friction, steel and springs together?
My Snap ring had a thin washer behind mine... also, I don't have "clutch alignment" arrows on mine.. Kawasaki must of got wise after my bike. The NEW shift shaft is in ! ! ! So... Do you have a video on how to test, prime etc the oil pump? The previous owner disabled it. I'd rather use it since its in there... Looking through the rotary valve, I can see the little brass nozzle aiming in the rotary port hole. So, I'm thinking it will work. Some people prefer to premix. I think its easier to gas n go, and keep an eye on the oil sight. You're a great help. even if there is a small amount of people watching... we are all learning. You're a great teacher!
I'd rather use the pump. the previous owner cut the line from the tank, and plugged it just above the grommet. I replaced the lines... I have the shift shaft in, and tomorrow (Sunday) I'll bleed the oil pump. So far, so good. Slow process (had to run to the store 2x for bolts, fuel / oil lines and other things... Well? I'll keep you updated... The bike runs. Oh, dummy me... I forgot to get a shift lever and all the bike shops are closed on Sundays. ... bahhh....
Wow! it´s a ton of work to change clutch disks compared to a Yamaha or a Honda. Maybe I`m wrong, but I haven`t seen other bikes with that kind of layout. Nice video. Thumbs up.
Yes, for sure I will Kevin. Looks like a very interesting project. We don´t have too many of those small kawasaki around here. The only one I have seen was the KE100 of the erarly nineties, like the white you have. I´m rebuilding a Yamaha GT80, but the Japanese model, not the one that you guys have in the USA.
Help my clutch basket didn’t have an arrow on it I marked it with pen but alas it rubbed off when I didn’t realise how can I get it working and aligned without a marker - am I screwed? Btw Can’t tell you how amazingly helpful your videos are I’ve taken on my first ever motorcycle renovation a 1978 Katie 100 and you have literally saved my life on so many times with these how to vids 👍keep up the good work
Hi Kevin, awesome video. I let my buddy drive my 1997 Kawasaki KE100 and while he was trail riding I think he stopped and when he started going again he was in a higher gear, not sure what all he was doing. Now it won’t move at all. Motor still runs, I put it in first gear and nothing. Just curious what to begin checking. Thanks!
Where can I get the rubber plugs I'm missing the one that is on the side of the engine to unscrew the one bolt to take off the carb and then I'm pretty sure I'm missing another on under the engine it's a ke100 5g 1971
Hi Kevin my clutch was taking apart before noticing orientation Arrow in accordance to where should point in the basket how important is that and how do I get the arrow in the right position. you've been a big part in putting my ke100 back together again thank you for your support and I would appreciate any help thank you Jeff
@@2strokeguru if you look at my channel it’s medal detecting. But I have a couple of bikes and my son and I are restoring a 53 Ford. So don’t think I’m a scam.
Kevin thx for all the info. you were instrumental in a 1980 barn find coming back to life BUT, i have a problem: I had a frozen clutch, so i did the type F trans fluid trick and let the bike sit for a week, my total ride time is about 5 mins of first gear flat gentle riding to slowly loosen the bike up. after about a 2 min ride the clutch plates unseized but then a hard a lite random grinding in the engine. the engine runs fine but now the clutch randomly engages/disengages along with the grinding noise. If i push the bike (not running) in any gear with clutch lever in, i'll get about 6 ft or more and the gear randomly engage. if i then push the bike backwards like 3 ft the gears disengage and act normal(clutch held in). when i start forward again it will randomly gear engage again. i'm suspecting one of the clutch friction plates disintegrated and randomly connecting engine to trans with clutch plate debris. have you seen this before? again the engine itself revs fine and the noise seems more from the trans/rear. the chain/sprockets are not causing this noise either and are viewable with covers off. the noise started with in seconds of the plates unseizing. thx
I have seen the arrow however there's no other mark for it to align to and been thorough both repair manuals nothing on it and all the ke100s I have worked on iv never used it
@@2strokeguru thank you so much i really appreciate all your videos! And can i use any tocktite on petcock bolts? And do u know how tight they should be?

I think... the oily fuel being sent through the carb isn't a good idea on oil injected bikes... I agree about carb troubles.

If 4th and 5th gears are slipping, would I replace the clutch plates or something else?
It could be worth gears could be a worn shift fork if 1 2 3 gears are good clutch is fine
@@2strokeguru 1, 2, and 3 are good. When I first got it I was shifting wrong, And i think I wore down 4/5 excessively
Is it ok to use 10w30 car oil?
Yes let them soak in it for a while to absorb into

Do the 6 bolts get tightened down all the way when reassembling then torqued to 3 ftlb? Will they be all the way down to the stud they're bolted into?
Yes till they seat then 3 ft lb you can use yellow or green loc tight do not use red or blue
Do you take the carb off before pressure washing the bike?
No but you must make sure your gasket and grommets are in place
What’s the importance of the arrow on the clutch? I didn’t mark mine and now I’m worried.
