Kawasaki KE125 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1976-1983)

The Kawasaki KE125, produced from 1976 to 1983, was a lightweight, street-legal dual-sport motorcycle. It featured a consistent 124cc two-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with rotary valves throughout its production. While engine displacement remained constant, reported horsepower figures varied slightly between 10 hp and 13 hp across different years, likely due to measurement standards or minor tuning. The model was primarily offered as a single trim, with annual suffixes (e.g., KE125-A3 for 1976) denoting the model year rather than distinct trim levels. A significant change occurred in the rear suspension: earlier models typically used dual shock absorbers, but some 1980-1982 models adopted Kawasaki's advanced Uni-Trak single-shock system, offering improved handling. Other features like the 6-speed gearbox, drum brakes, and kick-starting remained consistent. Q: How can I ensure this product fits my specific Kawasaki KE125 model year?
