Should I pick this up?? is it an easy fix???

i found a 2000 kawasaki kx 125 on craigslist for $350 it needs 4th and 5th gear and a clutch cable

how hard are 4th and 5th gear to change out???

Get it! It is worth 3 times as much in parts alone!

anybody??????????

 

[York Racing]

Yeah me. Haha I say get it.

dont know much about these bikes, but compared to other 2 strokes, the throttle cable will be a breeze to replace. Now the gears will be harder but not horrible... Remove he clutch cover, and the gears. Not sure but may have to pull the clutch plates and clutch basket to get the gear off. Most bikes require this.

Pretty sure you gotta take the whole damn thing apart and split the cases to replace gears. Not saying it isnt worth it. It prolly is.

However, it depends. If you do it yourself and know how, yes its worth it. If you dont, consider how much its going to cost you to pay someone to do it.

And if Im wrong about splitting the cases, I apologize in advance, but Im pretty sure thats standard stuff on these things.

Price yes but fixing the gear youll have to split the cases and find 4'th and 5'th gear prob ebay

thanks for the info guys i think ill pick it up even if i do have to split the cases......

If you can hear it run, it's probably worth $350 even for parts value.
