Lots of good used ones out there. Just be prepared to pay a load of bucks for one.
I still miss my GT750. Nothing like the smell of a 2 stroke in the morning. |

Zomg the memory you just invoked in me...
I had someone bring me a locked up 2 stroke triple back in the early nineties that I got running again..... It was a 60's or early 70's model. Someone told me it was, for it's year model, the fastest bike on wheels. Does someone have a better memory than me. OMG! it was such a joy to get that bike running again just cuz it was SO unusual.

I think I found the model. A Kawi 2 stroke triple at 748 cc on a wiki page. The one I worked on had been dug outta a garage and the buyer brought it to me. It was locked tighter than a drum. I didn't even throw any parts at it. I pulled the head and started soaking the rings with auto tranny fluid. I totally dunno why I used tranny fluid but it worked. After a couple days I was able to kick it over so I cleaned up the mess and put the head back on with the old head gasket. It fired and sounded fierce. Maybe that's why I have a special place in my heart for Kawi's. Dunno. But Dude was happy.
I wish I had taken that out for a ride but he said don't fix anything else. Just get it to fire so I can sell it. |

ATF is mostly a cleaning agent and will seep into and around frozen parts. Dextron is/was my fav. Now I'm missing my 88 KDX200. Another Kawi of course. 12 inches of suspension on each end made for a plush ride on any trails. About 30/31 ponys in 200 CC's. Gotta love ringa dings. ![]() |
