Title: KX 74-75-76 vs KE 75 -76 (125)
Post by: Freakshow on March 28, 2011, 11:11:38 pm
Can some one tell me if there is a differance between the KX125 and the KE125 cables ?
particularly around rear brake cable ( hub/pedal), front brake cable, throttle, clutch looks the same.

also is the KS125 - 73,74,75 seems to be the early KE is that similar too ?

# TMbill do you have any used KE 125 stuff over there you can try ?

Clutch and Fr brake cables appear the same , rear brake cable is different and wont work , TS one will be a bit short but RM 125 S / A / B should work  :)
KE throttle cable is a short one that goes into a spliter to the carb and oil pump so wont work either  :(

Freaky yep i got a pipe you can have just pay postage . However i think you would be better off with a proper chamber as the KE pipe is a traily pipe and wont give great performance  ;)

Does Geoffrey make one ? Lozza made a great little pipe for Kens 125 (whitch incindentley would have to be the coolest KX125 A on the planet  8) 8) 8) ) so maybe hit the big guy up.

Im currently experimenting with externally mounted bigger carbs (ala Skunk works design ) on my KX 125 and an institute pipe could be the go on that baby  ;)

If you want the KE pipe let me know but the postage is probably better invested in a chamber  ;)

your freaking out Kerry
just get the thing to the track, ride it and tweak it when you get home.
Pipe from KX will not fit, has to be a left port KE? which is the barrel your using.
Pin and rings are here, motor will be built this weekend

Parden me for intruding but why would you want to put a KE trailbike pipe on your bike Freaky?

as far as i know the only thing that will fit in the next 5 weeks ? Stewy is busy and i thought it was the only thing that was going to bolt up.  Happy if anyone wants to step up and modify a chamber so it can bolt up. 
 
Can probally even find you an under slung TM125 pipe here i can send you, so can use it to MOd, if anyone up that way wants to give it a go  ????
Firko,  Dave and stewy are already doing a lot of pissing about on my behalf, and i dont want to burn out the freindship.   i cant get to the bike before the nats, so im just sending up anything i can to get it to run, anything else is a bonus. 
I have never seen the bike so i havent got a clue, its like bomb disposal with a robot, and i have never even seen a kawasak,i so its all new to me and foreign

IF anyone wants to come on board for the 'progect freaky to the nats' we would love any extra help.....

TMB or anyone of you Kwakafiles out there got the bolt that goes into the crank that secures the rotor ON ?

Also the exhaust flange, for the barell (kE barrell)

A standard KX ? air box for sale or loan ? or can you guys tell me other models that suit ?

cheers freaky
