My new kt100!

[Magice]

I just picked up a kt100 for $100!

Apparently it runs, haven't started it but cranked it with an alin key and seems to have real good compression.

Comes with a horstman dxl 9t clutch. Looks new. Not really sure what model it is, only writing of any sort I can find on it is "9507"

 

[Jerryburger]

Boy O Boy are you going to have fun with that!

 

[oscaryu1]

That clutch was probably worth more than the asking price itself

 

[jr dragster T]

yes thats a VERY expensive clutch

 

[oscaryu1]

You JUST had to say that

Hehe, can I have that monitor?

 

[sayre315]

even with a $40 clutch that still wouldhave been a good deal

you dont have to worry about ordering it and waiting for it to show:biggrin5:

That is a nice looking engine! The pics on Yamaha's site don't do it justice. I like to see it in a more natural environment and get an idea of what it really looks like.

 

[ed1380]

lucky. i wish i could find something like this.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Needs an airfilter, thats a nice engine.

It's missing a 3 fins towards the bottom, needs a good cleanup. Looks like it's been sitting a long time in someones basement.

The funny thing is it was listed on a used site for over 3 months. It has been gone for a while and when I was digging through some emails I found an email to the guy who was selling because I asked him a question. I thought it was worth a short so I emailed him, and it was still for sale!

A 1.5 hour drive to get it

Still not bad at all for $100, BTW how did you get this for $100???

 

[Magice]

The guy I bought it from was rich.. He had a brand new z06 corvette in his driveway and areal nice place.

He bought it for his kid to race (it has a red restrictor, 3 hole can), but it was too fast for his class.

 

[oscaryu1]

He sold it to buy another brake pad for his Z06

 

[AutoMX]

lug nut not brake pad, those are prolly more

 

[oscaryu1]

Haha, billet titanium lug nuts.

Hehe, billet cast iron

 

[Magice]

why is everyone so obsessed with billet

why is everyone so obsessed with billet

I'm not...but then I'm not everyone.

 

[kibble]

It's only a few people I notice use "billet" almost every other word, almost like a four letter word:

"That looks like billet!" or "Go billet yourself!" "I have to go take a billet." "When I rented the truck, I told them to bill my friend, but they billet to me instead."

I'll admit that billet parts look nice, but I don't think they're absolutely necessary for most of the stuff that people like us do.

Meaningless fluff!!!

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

The following billet parts actually have purpose, billet rods and flywheels, everything else is meaningless fluff unless your running a 70hp drag racing engine and even then im pretty sure tyler was running a cast crank in his cast blockzilla block and it lasted a while.
