[@horsenoname7854]

Nice tks for sharing brings back some allsome memories

[@Will-tb8vi]

I'm sick of my J version getting destroyed by ka100s but ka100s are like 3000 each so I'm goanna upgrade to this one. Any thoughts?

[@rx8matt]

Seems to me all 2 strokes are somewhat maintenance intensive but the kt100 is a pretty reasonable balance of speed and cost

[@cristiannovelli1181]

See if you can the S. I bought my kart and I just found out it’s an S but I’m yet to take it out for a drive but the videos show it’s fast and not very different form a ka100

[@jacksonhamblin5242]

my local track for my age would either be a lo206 or this engine for a kart what would you recommend for a 14yo beginner?

[@rx8matt]

They can be similarly quick. I'd either go with whichever has a bigger class and better competition, or go with whichever is less expensive to race. I feel like the lo206, being four cycle, is cheaper because engines usually run longer between overhauls, but I'm not a karting expert.

@@rx8matt Thank you!

[@simongarcia2763]

I have a kt100 as well and it works perfectly, but when I put it on the floor it stops running and it doesn't starts rolling. Does anybody know why?

[@rx8matt]

Don't you have to give it throttle before you drop it? Or bump the idle speed

[@sinnano77]

Probably direct drive

[@cristiannovelli1181]

Is this the kt100s or j?

[@rx8matt]

I'm not sure, I was given an opportunity to drive it but I don't own it.

[@TerryDavis-db2mb]

I need that engine on a bycycle

[@rx8matt]

Did Yamaha use it on motorcycles?
