I picked up another $200 project today from the local cycle salvage today. I have not has a Kawi trike since the pair of 84 Tecates I had back in the day, bad ass trikes too by the way. The new one is a black 1982 KLT 250 4 stroker(not running...yet). It is VERY clean, came with several spare electrical parts(2 coils, 2 CDIs, harness parts, coils wire and boot, etc.), manuals and a title. So, I ASSUME it is having electrical probs. It is spitting snow so I will have to wait to start wrenching. The seat is soft and pliable, paint is clean and mostly intact, hardware is not rusty, so I guess it spent most of its life in a warm garage. Stickers are peeling some or slightly fading is about the worst of it, other than not running. What do you think, decent buy?

beautiful klt, almost all the ones ive seen here in Ontario are in terrible condition. Your looks practically brand new. Ive never seen one so clean and detailed. Thanks for sharing.

That's a nice KLT I like that front suspension also, haven't seen that in years.. awesome deal for that for sure. I'm sure you'll have it up and running in no time

Here's the fuel pump, if you end up needing one and need more info, I can get the info off of mine. It's 2.5 to 3 PSI and I think 25 gph.

There was a bunch of KLT200 plastic on eBay earlier this week.... I don't know if they will work on a 250, though. Might do a quick search on there to see if you can find something.

The KLT200 stuff is all by its' self some parts like the locker rear goes right in the 250s.
