my engine was opened for the first time and guess what? there was this crankcase sealant all over.

i was just getting started this is what a brand new escorts piston looks like after a year

Good to see that you will sit and get the job done.....No mechanic known to me ,does a decent job leave alone a correct job...and only technically competent mechs can do a decent job on the KB100 ..

the main reason i trust him is because he owns 3 kb100s himself not to mention i can observe the work being done

Good for you ...My mech is a Dodo, technically and will test my patience even for small things...but does not cheat or tell lies.

Looking for a Kb100 mech in BNG

Hi all,

I am new to XBHP and the primary reason for me being here is this particular thread. As a proud owner of a KB100, this thread was like a treasure chest. Felt very glad to see the rebuild. Congrats KB100 and kudos to your patience and determination. . A pleasure to see so many others helping around.

An introduction. I live in Bangalore and I bought a 1991 model KB 100 in the year 2005 @ 7K to learn to ride a geared 2 wheeler. I did not want to experiment on a new bike. Eventually fell in love with the bike so much that I later got it done up well.

Basically, I had this bike moved to my hometown in 2008 as I was finding it difficult to commute when I travelled back home. Sparing use has almost ravaged the bike. It is back in Bangalore and I am looking to use it more frequently as a daily commute.

I am in the lookout for a good mechanic in Bangalore. If anyone knows about a mechanic who knows his way around a KB100. This bike is very unlike the other bikes and came with many unique features (and differently styled parts) which were way ahead of its time.

If anyone knows a mechanic, please suggest. I am happy to take it to any part of Bangalore but preference would be around East of Bangalore.

welcome to xbhp , sorry dont know anybody in blr

guys ma air filter is all messed up,is there any bike whose air filter matches that of KB's

try and get the filter for kbs costs about 40 bucks apiece if not get the filter element tor ct 100 and make one yourself , its nearley impossible to put k& n filters as the carburettor is in the right side ot the engine with little or no area to fix the filter , though ithink you can fix the air filter of crux (not only the element but the frame also to kbs airbox
