Kawasaki KV 75 questions

[Skipjaz]

Just picked a 1971 MT1 or KV75 and have a few questions.

Ignition? I don't see a key, Is there a kill switch? On the handlebars?

Transmission? Three speed, what is the shift pattern? All up or all down? One down and two up?

Horn? Is there one? Missing on mine.

Thanks

Loved the little kawi's , on mine which is stock as far as I know the horn button is the kill switch and the turn signal switch is head light on and off
A confusing arrangement to be sure lol but they must have used off the shelf components when building these bikes rather than design minibike specific parts

As for the tranny its been a year since I have driven it but I think its 1 down 2 up

Show us a pic of the new toy :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the info. Got mine off craigslist for $50, had to buy about $100 in parts.
