What is this trike? HELP

[JoeyStacks]

can anybody tell me about this bike in my avatar? Its auto shift, and thats about all I can think to tell you. I broke the shifter last winter and I want to figure out how to get parts for it or new engine or scrap it. can anybody help me here. What kind is it? Where can I find the part? or parts? here are some pictures if you'll notice the broken shifter that happened when the teeth stripped and I decided It would be a good idea to run a bolt through it. Now its way broke off so I want to fix it. Its stuck in 3rd gear and will still start and run.

Ok did this make a difference Im trying it again

[posty2100]

looks to me like a 250 prairie but im not positive, i dont know these very well at all, someone will chip in and tell you

[TriMotoMan]

your shifters not lookin to good, i think bike is a kawaski klt250 not sure on the year tho. u can weld a shifter on if all else fails but if u gotta replace it after u weld it u would have to cut it off

[JoeyStacks]

oh and its shaft drive if that help at all oh and pull start.

[MonroeMike]

That is a KLT185.

[Northman]

Not to say anything but, many stolen bikes get painted black and not having serial numbers and getting it for free are kind of signs of "stolen" so I would suggest carefully useing it.

[JoeyStacks]

any Idea where I can find the shifter part for it? nevermind FOUND IT at this bike bandit site its gotta be the 185 cause its got reverse RIGHT???

[MonroeMike]

The KLT185 and KLT160 are both shaft drive with reverse.

Yours has a 185 headlight on it, which is different from the 160.

Check the VIN (left side of the frame neck), to make sure it's a 185 before ordering parts.

You could see if the cylinder is stamped. 182cc = KLT185, 153cc = KLT160.

[JoeyStacks]

so the shift lever and shaft would be different from 160 to 185? under the tank there was a tag that said LT185a so that figures that out
