What kind of choke lever is that?

[@badmotofo]

With the rotary valve the carb is behind the cover that's just below the exhaust pipe. Because the carb is behind the cover, the choke is up by the handle bars. With the carb behind the cover, making adjustments was a pain in the arse. I could never eliminate the bog it had and got tired of the time it took to make carb adjustments.

@@badmotofo I'm aware that it's a rotary valve and the carb is under the side cover, I've dealt with a few kawasaki KEs and KDs. My question was what did that choke lever come off of.

What exhaust do you use?

[@badmotofo]

It was custom fabricated and was on the bike when I got it.

@@badmotofo thats a nice exhaust, does it run good?

@@gillesvl45 There was a huge bog I could not get rid of. I had too many other projects so I sold it.

That was the KX, (the motocross bike) not the KD, (a trail play bike that looked like a MX bike. No lights, knobby tires). I hope that one is being restored.

[@issaacxxx6202]

No that's definitely a KD. He kinda made it look like an old kx, but it's for sure a KD.
