Kawasaki KLT110 rebuild
#11
Before you tear anything apart too much to fix the tranny, try taking the shift lever off and with out the bolt in it pinch it together in a vice. Next take a hack saw and make a cut where the opening would be if it wasnt pinched shut. After you do this once or twice it will pinch down on the shaft tighter and shouldn't slip as easily.

Hi,
I owned one of these back in the 80s. I had similar problems with the shifter. It took a quite a few miles before it stripped. I didn't know this was a problem for all of them. I just brought it to a local shop and had them weld it on. Of course not to much later the tranny locked up tight. That was a really sad day because I really enjoyed this bike and couldn't afford another at the time. Let us know how it goes! I think these are one of the better 110s out there. I was suprised at the lack of power on the honda the first time I rode it compared to mine.

Thanks Trailbazer-
Yes with the screw all the way in the two halfs are in contact. I'might saw some clearance in the slot. It's a easier fix the only thing is the collar at the lever is welded quite well and I'm not sure how much I can closed the gap w/o breaking the collar. I'm also researching how bad the shaft change might be. It would be nice if I could get the better shaft in.
I also got a suggestion from a friend. He suggest using a welder just to build material onto the splines making the diameter back to original then dermal in some new splines. Don't think this would look to good the way I weld but it isn't permenant.
Thanks for the tip.

I own a kawasaki klt 110 and the shifter stripper out. the splines on the shifter strip so we just drilled a hole through the shifter and shaft and stuck a bolt in it. it holds really well and if you ever need the shifter off, youll be able to take it off.

hey lim, on your parts trike do you have the left side case cover, the part that the pull starter bolts up to? i would be willing to buy it for a fair price. just to let you know there was a stock klt in camo, it was called the "duckster"..klt110 is also very close to a klf110, the diff is the klt is a trike and klf is a quad. if you have that part let me know.
