Where to find parts for discontinued imported motorcycle

[Oscar3324]

Hi, I own a Kawasaki ksr 80 and the piston is seized, I am working on restoring the bike and I have everything apart from a new piston and barrel, both the piston and barrel are beyond repair and I need to find a new pair that are either for that bike or would fit it, the bike is a Japanese import and is discontinued so parts are very rare and hard to find in the UK, if anyone knows of any websites that would sell the parts I am looking for, or if anyone knows if any parts from other Kawasaki bikes would work on it, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you, Oscar.

Hi,

when l hear Kawasaki 80 l always think of the AR and the KX. Have you tried getting the part numbers and seeing if they are compatible?

Also the 110?

Will the model be available at partzilla or cmsnl websites?

Just to get s reference number for you to try and find it

I have looked around for parts that could fit and I reckon the piston from an AR80 or a KX80 would fit as they look very similar but it’s the cylinder that is very difficult to find, the AR80 is air cooled, whereas the KSR80 is water cooled, the KX80 is also water cooled and cylinder looks like it would fit but the exhaust mount is a lot different and I am not sure weather or not it would fit but I am trying to research and look for measurements/specifications to see if it will work, thank you for your recommendations,

AR80 in Oceana (pacific) markets were water cooled.....  Try the Malaysian ebay...  I have bought a few unobtainable in UK parts for little yeller from Malaysia.

 

 

Alternatively, why don't you just send the cylinder to PJME for a new liner fitting?  He will supply the correct piston.
