Looks like a good deal to me. Zagames on here own 8 or 9 KLT's. He can tell you everything you need to know about them.

Lol well i got it running. It smokes. and i dont have time trailprotrailpro i head off to college looks like i have to send this one down the road

i just picked up a klt 110 and the only issue I have had is the shifter shaft snapping and having to replace that and my shifter because both are stripped out. Everybody on here has told me they have had those issues also... So I guess its a common problem.

Zagames is my son, I'll have him look when he gets home. He has one that smokes like crazy and it just keeps going and going and going. They are a good tough trike that will go anywhere you would like and pull like crazy. We have a 110, two 160s two running 200s and a 250, he also has several parts bikes that we use.

what are the symptoms of a broken shifter shaft? thanks

[Chazz of Blades]

............Well, you can hold the shifter, and half the shaft in your hand.


And you have to sit on the KLT, turn the ignition on, set everything up, start it, and start leaning side to side and standing on it like you're riding.

It's a 1983 KLT 200 A4A. A 'duckster' with black plastics. Very tough, like up-tyte said. My only issue with this model is that there is no kick-start back-up. Also the voltage regulator/rectifier tends to go bad after a while. Other than the occasional seal that starts leaking, these don't have many problems. I'd gladly take it off your hands if you lived closer! lol

haha darn wish u did. I cant shift it. seems like its stuck in 4th or 5th gear. and wont shift up and down. could it be a broken shift fork? if it wasnt such a big fix i wouldnt think about getting rid of it. haha and chazz of blades i was thinking u were talking about the shifting shaft going to teh transmission. hahaha

Try pushing the shifter towards or pull away from the engine when you shift. (use your hand) I believe there is a spring that can wear out making it difficult to shift.
