the thing seems to always want to shift into neutral. I dont know much about these old bikes and wondered if maybe the gears were going out. what kind of oil should i be running in it? and where. it has a dipstick on the lower end of the motor, and also a reservoir underneath the left side of the seat.

The KE175's were oil injected, no? The reservoir under the seat is for 2-stroke oil. The one with the dipstick on the engine is for transmission oil. Don't ever let the reservoir under the seat run dry.
