  1. Look at this one. One of our members here makes them. http://www.venturerider.org/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=2175&title=2nd-gen-custom-painted-radiator-grills&cat=7
  2. Spend it helping you guys out.:rotfl:
  3. This is all I've found on when the enricheners are bad. "the bike will pop through the carbs on deceleration."
  4. Anytime. That's what we're here for....mostly.
  5. http://www.luscocorp.com/ http://local.yahoo.com/info-15870288-reliable-fabricating-mfg-incorporated-noblesville http://local.yahoo.com/info-15869830-tmetal-works-incorporated-carmel This one looks promising. http://www.instantmetals.com/
  6. Can is marked at one gallon. I make sure, cause I'm mixing it.
  7. Great! I have had an idea now for quite some time, and they may be just the folks who could help me implement it.
  8. Have a safe trip, and have fun! Put pics up when you can.
  9. I find this hard to believe. Take a gas can and pump one gallon into it, then pay for your one gallon. Whatever is left in the hose belongs to the gas station. You pumped a gallon, and paid for a gallon. Simple as that.
  10. What town do you live in?
  11. Laminate flooring is the way to go...then just use a swiffer.
  12. Look in the yellow pages under "steel". There should be a metal supplier around there somewhere...or a welding shop.

    My new Bike

    Now, just enjoy the heck out of it.
  14. Behind the right-hand side cover, like the link shows you. Look at that part breakdown.
  15. Not sure, but if you look up the rotor for both bikes at partshark.com or bikebandit.com, you can compare the part numbers.
  16. It works exactly the way I told you. The only difference with your is, that you have a separate oil tank, and the oil pump injects it into the fuel to mix it before it enters the crankcase. http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/1980-kawasaki-motorcycle-kd80-kd80m1-us/o/m3494 I would skip the oil tank, and just mix it in the gas tank, just in case that oil pump ever fails. Just like any two-stroke, the oil/fuel mix is drawn in thru the reed valve, and goes to the crankcase.
  17. The way a two-stroke works is... When the piston moves down, fuel/oil mix is drawn into the combustion chamber from the crankcase. When the piston moves up, fuel/oil mix is drawn into the crankcase from the carb. to lube the crank. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-cycle So, on a two-stroke, you need oil/gas mix in the tank, and regular oil in the transmission.
  18. Maybe this will help you... http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/kawasaki_kd_80_m_1986.php http://www.bikez.com/msgboard/msg.php?id=22087&type=bike I'll look at the manual when I get home from work.
  19. Also, the crankcase should be oil/gas mix. The trans will use 20w50 or gear oil, whichever one it calls for.
  20. KD80? not a KX or KDX? I always mix it in the tank. 4 ounces oil/gallon, which is 32:1. On one with a separate tank, I would empty the oil tank, and mix it in the gas tank. Safer that way, in case something goes wrong with the oil injection part. Just my 2 cents. BTW, I have an owners manual for the small KX/KDX bikes. If that's what he has, he's more than welcome to it. We don't have the bikes anymore.
  21. Good lookin' scoot! Nuttin' beats the sand/wine combo tho, guys.
  22. I use a hitch lock.
  23. 9 times out of 10, when a fuel pump goes, it just goes. It sounds more like you have a restriction somewhere, or a bad connection in the fuel pump system.
