Have any of you ever seen even 1/2 of these Kawi production 3W'ers?

Great story on the Duckster!

A couple years ago I came across a duckster in a small junkyard at a small local shop. It looked pretty complete and might make a good restore. It was faded looking, but still had the camo decals. It's in Texas. If anyone is interested I can drop by and check on it again. Just drop me a PM.

I had a red 84 KXT for years. It was a great ATV. I got the bright idea to part it out a while back and now all I have left is the bare frame and a couple misc. small parts.

You have a Duckster!

Lets see it! You got one rare machine there.

Why don't you have the Mother Duckster listed as one of your trikes then?

I'd be proud to own such a machine.

Its in Terrible shape, the are alot of parts missing, not something that I have time to really mess with, It was in a lot of 12 machines that i picked up in a trade, I didnt even know that it was a duckster untill i found the seat for it. I agree that it would be a nice little machine to fix up, but other than my KLT110 and KLT160, the only other Kawasaki's I am after are T-3's. In other words, if someone wanted it, they could make me a reasonable offer and I would prolly take it.

Huffa, I really wish you did not post that site link. I am really, seriously condsidering switching brands now. I really like the Kawi line up. I would love to have that whole collection.

I do to, simply because of the rareity of them all and the unigue features they have and the looks are starting to grow on me also.

Like Chris said they are "fudgy" looking but thats what is unige about them!

Got you really thinking now , Huh?

[LonesomeTriZ]

That is what I mean. They are so neat and unique at the same time. I would rather collect something not everybody else has.

My friend has a klt200c and the thing is rough, but it always runs and the plastics stand up to anything you can hit them with and you can go up anything. they are very well built trikes i really like them. I am now looking out for a klt110

Huffa, the parts that have let me stranded on my x are the CDI took a crap on me, and some other small things like broken clutch cable, and once it died you could never get it to start again unless you were near a big hill or if I had a buddy with me to pull start it because of the infamous kicker issues. But mainly the ONLY problem I have had with the honda is just weird wiring issues. It will run fine for a while and then it will start missing and crap and then she would crap out. You could kick ad kick but it will never start, pull start her and she fires up runs for a while and does the same thing. Pull the plug and no spark let it sit for a while and it would have just the slightest spark and you could get home most of the time. Still she is a great little ride and I enjoy having it but I would let her go for another tecate.

[Huffa]

Hmmmm, sounds like the stator assmbly to me. With a faulty wire connection in them they heat up, don't work - lose spark...........cool down and work again.

Ever replace that?

[83185s]

to bad honda dont got something like that..that would be cool! or yamaha or suzuki or polaris...but mostly honda..i think the new honda people are too far stuck up there own ass to bring back the past...anyone else agree? they are to obsessed with the new quads and who can build a bigger more reliable one

[KayodicWeazel]

Both the 3 and 4 wheeled Tecates look friggin hot. I love that angular plastic, and the swoopy plastic every quad comes with nowadays sorta makes me wish we had a "back the the 80's" fad.

[90nut]

Huffa, I have now replaced all electrical parts on the 200x. I am now working on putting the trans back together. HOpefully it will be done for trikefest or else I will just be forced to ride my T3, darn it.

[Huffa]

That's one thing I never did, is a trans. When I see some pic's of the gears laying sprawled all about, how the heck do you guys remember where they go?

I mean even if you have a manual they all sort of look the same in the parts diagram, don't they?

Isn't that a job that requires extreme care of making sure they are in order when taking apart?

The transmissions are not for the weak of commitment. I don't care who it is doing them they require you to have mechanical ability, lots of patients, fair to good organization, impeckable memory, the ability to notice missing or bad parts, and for some people a diagram. I also think they require extreme care also. Even with all the above you might not get it on the first attempt. Not all the gears, washers, pins or shafts look the same, BUT some do. They can be very tricky some times.
Bottom line is if you are lacking any of the skills listed above I advise to not tear into the tranny. Instead try and watch someone else do it for you ( if possible ).

Come on over I will show you how anal a tranny can be. Even then, The picts lie.
