Message: [QUOTE="74saki, post: 978903, member: 64613"] I recently picked up a 1974 Kasaki Ks 125, with only 1960 miles on it.The piston was supposed to be seized, but it was not. When I began to tear down the motor to see what exactly was going on I discoverd that the piston moved and was not stuck, but that something was blocking the crankshaft from rotating an entire revolution. When I took the cylinder jug offer I found that the lead weights that were used to balance the crank shaft had lodged itself between the connecting rod and the crank shaft. After I removed the obstruction I also noticed that there is quite alot of play on the connecting rod (up and down). I am wondering what I can do to solve this problem. I also would like to know where I could find parts for this bike. I have already purchased a 25 over piston and ring set. Sorry for the long post [/QUOTE]
