so my gas tank is rusted through on my ke100 and i dont want to spend money on a new one so i thought id do a swap but idk what to swap it into cuz its a great strong running 2 stroker that i dont want to waste I:I any suggestion would be great

 

[yamaha205205]

i just looked and the horsepower for a ke100 is 11hp at 7500rmp pretty good for a 100cc bike

If you don't want to repair the tank, maybe you could get a yard cart and make a shifter play toy... 11hp would scoot a yard cart on around...

 

[yamaha205205]

yeah i was thnkin that but idk if i could put it in like a little dirt bike or something

 

[sicivicdude]

You can, but the ke100 sort of already is a little dirtbike and the little dirtbike you already have doesn't need ANY custom fabbing except to figure out how to get the fuel tank off of another dirtbike to fit the frame mounts.

 

[yamaha205205]

yeah ill prolly go for a cart

I mean you could look around for some sort of plastic tank that can be modded to fit the ke's frame (or vice versa) and not have too much time or energy in fixing the ke. Take the factory tank off and see how it attaches to the frame. Lurk Ebay and find one sort of similar. You may have to do some inventive mounting but when you're done you can have a plastic tank with possibly more capacity.

Or the other route is a $50 yard kart frame and a bunch of inventive fitting to get that engine on it.
