What is this bike please???

Pretty sure it says 1980 but will have another look and take a better pic and upload it, i have the Stator although it needs Fixing but missing the flywheel any thoughts where i might get one of these

[cyclegod]

In order, local wreckers then, interstate wreckers then, ozvmx wanted section then, eBay.

Yup i was wrong it has on the Barrel 198And a funnylooking symbol like a fish symbol facing downward.

[cyclegod]

It's a cursive "L"

so as in liter? so there might be a decimal in front of it so its .198l (.198 liter motor)

also try your local Kawasakki dealer for the flywheel, it might still be available new. i wouldnt waste my money on a used flywheel from a wreckers if you dont know how its been stored (loose, with keepers or on an engine) as it could have weak magnets.

Not available from kawasaki anymore!

thanks much appreciate the info

Check the part numbers at Kawasaki to see if the KDX175 used the same rotor

The fact that you haven't mentioned a compliance plate, means that its probably a 1983 model (KDX200A).

The B1 came out in 1984, and was fitted with a compliance plate. Same basic bike as the A, but with all of the ADR crap fitted, and a few mechanical revisions (different barrell/piston to stop the seizure problems, being the most significant).

The 85 model B2 is virtually identical to the B1, but has a blue seat cover (and IIRC, a blue shock spring).

Good bikes. I'm hanging to get my B1 finished.... I guess that starting on it would be a big step in the right direction... 

Oh, and FWIW, I'm pretty sure that I read that Kawasaki Australia was selling KDX175s in 1983 - the 200 was a much better bike, but its lack of compliance plate meant that the 175 was kept on sale.

thats some good info Nathan.

try sanding the paint on the head stem a bit as the number must be filled in with paint if you cant see it. there might not be a compliance plate but there has to be a frame number somewhere.
