Hey Just out of curiosity did you have to pull the block out in order to pull the cylinder? the reason i ask is because last summer the gasket between the block and the cooling head went on my KE 100 and im going to be replacing it within the next week or so and any advice on where to start would be helpful.
@Hicklife2112 Actually I didn't remove the engine at all the whole time. The cylinder head should come right off, and if I can remember correctly, it didn't even require the removal of the tank to do so.
Generally it's a VERY easy bike to fix, and a fun bike to learn mechanical skills on.
@psylenc Alright! lol. Why go to a 250? They're pretty big and heavy... I think you should buy something like a Derbi, or Aprilia. They are really nice and very fast right out of the box!
@apricotsnms516 lol 250cc to big? that's all i can afford right now, otherwise I'd be riding a gsx-r 600! lol Don't forget I learned to ride period on a cbr1000rr.
hey dude whats up lol I got a new scooters and ive spent roughly 200 on performance parts for it. now im just waiting on the new exhaust, ill make a vid eventually. started a scooter group here in cali lol
@apricotsnms516 I know right, how have you been? and no it's still a 50cc but i take it on missions dude lol recently it started losing critical speed going up hills so im trying to figure out why and why it takes forever to start.

Thanks for your response mate, I found the general rule is
Generic torque settings for bike engines.
M10 35Nm
M8 25-27Nm
M6 10-12Nm
M5 8Nm
These are a general rule for bolts into aluminium.
If you cant find any specs for your bike these will get you going.
Cheers Thro

is that a KE 175? I used to have a KD 175
groutaone 1 year ago
@groutaone its actually a Ke100 but its pretty much the same (except less power) i hear the KDs were pretty fun
apricotsnms516 1 year ago
@apricotsnms516 I was never happy with my KD as I thought it needed more power
groutaone 1 year ago
@groutaone yeah when it comes to power it fails. but its a nice thrashing around bike. or in my case an on road bike.

@psylenc did you check the height of the float? that might cause it.
