When...

6/26/2014 3:28pm No. Seller was trying to force me to come get "right away" after he told me that there was NO HURRY. I simply cut and pasted all his and my emails back to him showing him what was said and he decided (since he chose to use ebay to sell) that he needed to relax! I may not be able...

6/7/2014 5:52pm Yes, I did. Its going to need some major frame repair but I think it is worth it. I know you sent the email Olbeast, just didn't want to go into details.... Ya, it is a pretty cool little bike and not in that bad of cosmetic shape I don't think. My original owners manual is actually for THAT bike...

6/7/2014 12:10pm Well, I contacted the guy that had the Kami on Ebay and bought it. I may be nuts, but its a sickness!!

6/7/2014 4:44am Yes, you do have to "prime" or "bleed" most 2 stroke oil pumps. I know how to do it on a Yamaha, but no idea on the Fuji. I didn't look at it that close when i had it apart either and they are in not such a nice place to see on the Fuji's. I would stick with the...

6/6/2014 7:31am My fitting was broke too. I would mix 3/4 cup good NON SYNTH 2 stroke oil with a gallon of gas. That is what I used in my husqvarna Chain Saws and in my Lawn Boy mower. Even if its a bit too much oil all it will do is foul the plug. DO NOT USE ETHENOL (spell??) BLEND FUEL...

6/1/2014 8:28am Yes, looks like it was cut.... also looks like it was badly bent and they cut it to try and straighten it. Any of these low $ bikes were likely to break a frame or bend if you were jumping it. likely what happened to this one.

5/31/2014 3:07pm I am not the most "facebook" knowledgeable. I don't know how you do a friend request. Because I am the one who "built it" it looks different to me than it does to others. If it doesn't work out I will try to make a totally new one and see how it goes.

5/31/2014 6:11am OK Guys.... I have had this info on here for MONTHS with almost no interest.

Please share any photos you want to share. I am...

5/30/2014 2:59pm You can take the battery to batteries plus and have the ends from the old batteries put onto yours (if you have the old batteries). I know they did it on the one I bought...... but I bought it from them so.......

5/30/2014 5:25am I do I think......... I know I do for the KA100..... BUT they are in REALLY poor condition because when they were selling the bikes Kami kept sending "updates" out....... which were nothing more than stickers to put in the book to cover the old info. Unfortunately the "sticky" is long gone and the "updates" are all loose in the...
