$400 Kawasaki Mini Dirt Bike From 1977 - Will It Run? 

Jennie’s garage is my favorite carburetor channel on RU-vid.

So sorry to hear camera girl hurt her self. Hope she gets better soon. Love you guys been watching for years.

Get well soon Camera Girl!

One of those channels that gets a “like” before even watching

I had a 1982 KD80, brand new. Got it, mid winter, rolled it into my bedroom and stared it all winter long. Loved that little bike! Rode it until I outgrew it and, today still have a 1987 KLR250. Fond of the Kawasaki brand ever since.

You know you are loved when your better half gives you a Jis screwdriver for Valentines Day. I wish camera girl a speedy recovery.

That's a nice original little Kawasaki, a true survivor!

You're welcome for watching. Thanks for the video

Jennie’s garage diagnosing old motorcycles is sublime.

Love this episode. I had a 79 KD100. It was awesome. I still miss it.

Brings back old memories. My friend had a KE 100 and I had a 125 KD. 49 years ago.

Can't beat the sound (and smell) of a two-stroke engine. Glad to see it fired up! 👍🏻

“Exhaust pipe confuse” had me baffled

Oh, ‘rolled’ Ouch, get well soon!

My first ever bike was a KM100. Thanks for taking me back.

I've got a 1970s something Honda XR75 if you want it. Free. Needs a clutch replaced but I have the parts and gasket. I don't plan on being around much longer, so I'd be happy so see it go to a good home.

Get well soon, Jennie! What a dream little motorcycle. Sounds like it needs an oil-can round it and some loving care… that kickstart pedal squeaked in protest when you folded it out to turn the engine over by hand. I don’t think Kwacker ever brought that model to the UK, but it’s lovely! Watching for the next video. Hope Jennie is soon up and about. Les in UK 🇬🇧

That puppies clean, always had an eye for them old little kawi's

Seeing her fire up put a big ol smile on my face. Thanks! Hilarious that you let the camera battery die. 😂 Get'em Jennie!

My first bike in the 1970’s was a 70’s Yamaha 80 enduro I was 8. I’m 55 now and own a 2006 Harley Heritage Softail.

Dude that carb set up just blew my mind crazy how it's built inside the side cover. Thanks for the education your like my small engines teacher lol.

Man this brings back so many memories. I had a '77, was bought new, I was in my early teens. Rode that bike for years, put gas in it, check the oil tank, kick it over, ride like the devil. I just turned 60, thanks for brining up some wonderful memories from my childhood. BTW the number plate was white and oval shaped.

Nice to see the relics living with people like you keeping them alive . Hope camera girl gets better soon .

I was surprised to see the fuel line going straight in to the block! That is crazy design

Beautiful 😍 I have a 75 dt250 love the old bikes so much fun

Send my best to Camera Girl. Tell her she was missed. Neat little bike.

I had one of them when I was a kid and I actually had two of them. It was a KE 100 Street legal that little dirtbike here working on there I had a lot of fun on one of them good trail bike❤

Having owned a kawi from 1969 that had dual carbs and dual rotary valves ( actually disc's) , this little machine should have some real pep! Mine was a Kawi 350 Avenger, and it was a scrambler model that was fitted with some nice off road nobbie tires. It really screamed, I mean there wasn't a bike made that would keep up with it thru the 1/4 mile, but it was too heavy for the trails in retrospect. Then the 500 triple came out and the Avenger became a footnote in history! I only owned that bike for a yr until I blew it up, and turned my interest to a 57 Chevy Pu.

When I was in Jr High my friend got a 1979 KD100 for Christmas. We drove the wheels off that thing. Loved that bike.

Over 500 views and only 100 thumbs up? Let's help the guy out!

That’s a gem I bet it would clean up nice some one deffnetley took care of it and kept it in there garage money well spent

Been watching since late middle school and now I’m in college, wanting to buy a busted bike and fix it up, inspired by you

When I was a kid in the late 80s, my mom had a 1970-something Kawi KE(KM?)100 that she had as a kid. I remember riding on it through the yard. Wish I still had it.

Love it my cousin had one just like this, so much fun we had!!!

That bike is in great condition for its age. Nice find

Sweet runabout! Camera Girl has a test drive appointment as soon as she heals up. Good stuff man.👍

I had its bigger brother the KD125! My dad bought it for my 13th birthday when I was told I wasn't getting anything at all. I just loved that little bike! Kawasaki also made a 175cc that was really cool. Thanks for the memory!!

Yay I’m first to view 😂😂😂😂😂, hope Jennifer is ok!!! You’re right Jake, it’s just weird without Jennie.

It’s a beauty, camera girls man. It’s in really good condition for 47 years old.

I was taught growing up on these two strokes to turn the choke on and kick until you hear it fire once. Then turn it off and try it again. Can always turn it back on if needed, but saves you from flooding it. You know what you’re doing, just sharing how I learned! Great video again, thank you!!

WOW! Awesome Little Bike! Hope Your Feeling Better Camera Girl.

I had a 74 mc1 90. It was my 1st bike, and it was an absolute tank. The rubber grommet that the cables pass through that attach to the carb, didn’t make a proper seal leading to a seizure of the piston and the destruction of the cylinder. RIP little Kawasaki.

I in my mid teens had a Kawasaki KV 100, brilliant little bike. I tried riding it 138 miles one day, it did not go so well, the workshop manual I got with it showed how to modify the cylinder and the rotary disk for more power and it didn't have the baffle in the muffler so I designed one only to come to the realization that type of baffle was already available..

I was yelling "the air filter!" when you went to start it for the first time, not realizing the cover was off... Lol. Durr!

Confused, hahahaha. Had me baffled for a second there. Dad humour abounds. Oh yeah Take care of those ankles Camera Girl.

I got ahold of one of these in the late 80’s. I was 10. Very nostalgic watching this. Love your channel!

What a gem of a bike. Looks to me like someone put it away for the season (drained the gas and put in a fresh plug) and then just never rode it again.

It’s Kawasaki Showtime! Jake really got “Beetlejuice” look going😂 Best wishes to Jenny ❤

I love you guys! Get better soon camera girl!

I have a 78 KD 100 M . Runs and appears as new condition. Very capable machine with super frugal consumption of oil and fuel. Perfect camper bike.

I remember the old days before cameras girl joined you. I’ve been subscribed to you that long.

The beauty of rotaries, won GP500s till late 80s

Tell poor camera girl I’m thinking of her , really hope she has you run ragged looking after her with a little bell to call you . Here’s to her swift recovery. Great work on the solo video👍

That baffle joke was atrocious. Good Job. 👍

I power buffed up with metal polish engine cases to beautiful high luster. Carb boot ( unavailable) can get dry and unflexable but a heat gun with careful use can allow to fit properly. Filter is available. Super torque motor for displacement. The rotary valve is a great system. I run mine dry by fuel shutoff. It can sit for six months. One kick startup. Bel Ray SI - 7 almost no smoke.💨

Just goes to show you, every now and then you get lucky, camera girl comes to mind first, and this little motorcycle has got to be in the top five, ice helps with that sort of injury, get better soon Jenny

Glad to see u posting dude

Flipping love when you upload mate. Not an ounce of pretension, just a genuinely nice guy sharing his love of old broken things and making them old barely-broken things. All the best to camera girl for a speedy recovery! (Now’s your chance to pop out and buy some more old 2 strokes!) All the best from a still quite chilly (but not currently raining) Manchester, UK.

Your son has got to be one happy youngster. Your hobby will keep him in toys forever.

Best wishes to camera girl, hope you get well soon .

Reminds me a lot of the Yamaha MX80 I had as a kid, two stroke w/ oil injection, sparkplug fouler, but so much fun.

That "baffle" joke got me good. Nice going on the bike, Jake! And hope Camera Girl gets well soon!

What a find! Well done!

great little find. I need to look for something like that. Hope Jen gets better soon, miss her laugh already.

Nice little bike. Best wishes to camera girl for a speedy recovery.

What a great bike... Awesome job man ty for taking the time to share with us!!!

I love this older stuff. Keep er up!

I have that exact same motorcycle in blue road it twice 15 years ago and it’s been sitting ever since

I had a KD-80 when I was in grade school/Jr. High. We were a Kawasaki family.

That is a sweet machine!

I use to own one of these but it was the 90cc version, loved it, it was a great bike.

Always puts a smile on my face when I see u posted a new video especially after a bad day

I love this channel, you guys are the best

What a cool little bike. Love the paint and graphics on the tank

Beautiful machine!

Oh no, best wishes for camera girl! That is one nice little bike, great shape!

Jen is amazing and adds so much to these videos. Wishing her a speedy recovery!

Nice solo video. Thank you

Great Video

This thing looks like it's brand new.

Great job 👏

Awesome video great looking bike seems odd without camera girl

Bike is in amazing shape..seems all there but the # plate. A good wash and it will be in its glory

Nice little bike👍 the boy will have a blast on it.

holy cow, i used to love your videos but forgot completely. youtube finally recommended one again. love to see you've stayed true to jennie's garage origin.

Really sorry to hear camera girl is hurt. Hope on speed recovery. Nice video as always ❤

I remember the old days before camera girl joined you. I’ve been subscribed to you that long.

Love the kd's. One of my favorites from the 70's

Yes back in action!!!!

Talk about a cold open - hope camera girl is okay!

Good job! You’re making some topnotch videos I really enjoy!

Super cool bike!

I roll my Rs yet to roll my ankles ! get well soon Jenns :)

Cool bike!!

Great video! Get well soon camera girl!

Love that sound

Get well soon CG

Heal up Camera girl!! You did a great job regardless Jake. Looking forward to the next video. God bless

Just happened to catch your channel, boy that bike is a blast from the past. I can tell you whoever had that bike had that put up where it wasn't going to get messed up, probably belong to a collection at one time. As in mint condition as that little bike is I'm sure there's not going to be any problems getting that thing going unless it was parked for a bad reason. Anyway good luck and God bless

🥺 Poor Camera Girl, Jenny I Hope U Get Better Really SOON. Wow That Little Kawazaki 100 Is In Really Great Shape For It's Age. Love It, Great Little Bike. I Have Twisted Both Ankles Before At The Same Time Trying To Save Myself From Falling Over & It's Not Fun...
