Kawasaki KM100 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1976-1981)

The Kawasaki KM100, produced from 1976 to 1981, was a lightweight, two-stroke, single-cylinder motorcycle primarily designed for off-road use, though it also served as a dual-sport model. It succeeded the Kawasaki G5, incorporating ergonomic improvements and a revised transmission layout. Its 99 cc (or 100 ccm) air-cooled engine produced approximately 8.8 to 9 horsepower and was paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The Superlube oil injection system ensured a precise fuel-oil mixture. While the KM100 did not feature distinct trim levels in the traditional sense, Kawasaki introduced annual designations (KM100-A1, A2, A3, etc.) to denote minor yearly updates. The engine and transmission underwent slight modifications over the production run, with variations noted in components such as the air cleaner, carburetor, crankcase, and fenders across different designations. However, the core engine displacement and horsepower remained consistent, and the model is known for not changing much overall. Q : How can I ensure parts compatibility for my Kawasaki KM100?
