Yes, the KLT 200 and 250s all had the hand clutch. I just picked up an early year KLT 200 - I believe 1982. I have the same problem - Stuck in gear - 3rd to be exact. I havnt taken the cover off yet to see what is wrong, but in my situation I believe it is the shifter shaft - not making connection. The motor runs great after minimal work, and I love the idea of having a manual clutch on a workhorse like the klt 200. The KLT 200 and 250's also have a locking rear differential - so you can put it it one wheel if you want, and turn like no other. They also have electric start, and some but not all have a kick starter. The kick start is wierd, because it dosnt clamp on, you just slide it on the splines, start it, and then put it in the trunk. These machines are deffinatly not sporty - at all! But they have one heck of a heavy duty frame, built like a tank. If you have some sort of work to do, I say go for it! Its nice to break away from honda, and get a Kawasaki. You dont see many around, and those that do have them seem to say they are very tough and reliable.
