the handle bar isnt the original kb125 one........as for the engine rebuild , try and do it yourself , hiring a mech to do the reassembly comes with it its on set of problems ,

nothing misses you expert eyes Sarin. its the Platina handle. i too don't like it much. will change it if i find the ride quality uncomfortable.

**kb100** · 10-03-2011, 10:38 PM

sir im no expert its guys like yamdoot , digbore psr sir etc who are experts
as for the handlebar go for ones from the classic pulsar 150(the round headlamp ones ) its the same as kbs ,if you cant find go for the regular 150/180 setup it comes pretty close , do not go for p200 ones as they are very low for kbs the oem ones cost under rs 300

You can rebuild the engine yourself...its cool to do. That way you know whats going in and whats coming out.

Thanks Rookie. Unfortunately over the years i lost many mags due to bad storage and neglect. I had kept almost each and every issue of 'Indian Auto' and 'Car&Bike International' magazines from 1990 to atleast 1999. Many are lost.

I'll see if i can start a thread but confused if i'll be allowed to post in the twostroke forum here.

sir the stuff i send you is your own property now , you can distribute to anybody you want ,no need to ask for my permission

**rookieraj** · 10-06-2011, 10:38 PM

its very gracious of you to say that kb100. i sought your permission because courtesies should never be overlooked, no matter what the relationship may be. one good act deserves another, so i gave a copy to Bluesmoke.

ps:- and i'm saying this publicly now - will you please stop 'sirring' me? please..

warm regards

i met Bluesmoke today. we had a little chat. he had a look at my bike and talked about his own experience while restoring his KB100. i had a look, a very brief one (parking woes in the South Ex market), at his repainted RX135. i was completely bowled over by the professional quality of the paint job and the chroming looked fabulous. it also sounded good too. his bike is lucky to have a dedicated owner like him.

anyway, back to my KB125. Bluesmoke's verdict - its in pretty good shape to be restored and as i have all major parts available, it should not pose much of a problem. nice encouraging words; i only wish i could put in more time in the rebuild.

Engine Rebuild

after procrastinating for ages, i finally began the engine rebuild today.

Engine Rebuild

First step - removing the metal sheaths of the bearings. thank you kb100 for the tip.

**kb100** · 10-08-2011, 07:03 AM

best of luck

, and dont keep the bearings in the open like that for too long keep them covered , dust has a way of ruining bearings

, did you get the scooters old tyre , keep it under the crankcases while you drive the bearings in , if you are doing it yourself, im posting a picture as to how it would look after you assemble the gears and apply the liquid gasket, do not forget to [put the ball bearing on the clutch axle
