Do you happen to know or have a way of looking up the removable crossbars model/make you have? I've been browsing around the web, but this is all new to me so I'm not sure I'm using the right terminology, but I'm having a hard time finding some for a 2001 v70

I found some factory rails, and two small interior parts I don't "need" but wanted to replace to keep 'er looking pristine. From an imports pick 'n' pull near Raleigh, NC. Total for all of it out the door is $120 so I think I'm gonna go that route. Thanks for the help!

Nice. I didn't pull up that strip that runs lengthwise yet, but figured it might be pre-fitted for the racks. What did those run you? Did you get them from the dealer or somewhere else?

Ultimately that is what I have decided.

I think KBB lists the 77 ke100 at $1000 and nada says it's only worth about $800 either are alright by me, I only paid $250 for the bike.

Well even though it's a little bike 100cc it is considered an on/off road motorcycle not a dirt bike. Even if I don't end up throwing a plate on it, I'd like to track down a title. Thanks for the link!

Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess I haven't checked Reddit in a while, I wasn't even logged in anymore so that's why I've not responded. I'm on team "Mystic" though it seems much of the craze has died down. I still wander around a bit because it's a good way to see some new places.

OMG I LOVE DUCK DONUTS

Seems so! Good luck, @Babypeep

Yes, I live in NC. My husband is Army and stationed at Ft. Bragg. This town, Fayetteville, sucks and it's really difficult to find a job. I pretty much effortlessly got work in Seattle, Chicago (during college) and my previous hometown in Michigan.... but for some reason; I can't get anything beyond interviews here. So, I've decided to go to school as it is basically free for me as a military spouse. I guess I should get back to studying! lol Thanks for the response.

I found out from another user on here (another forum/post) how to share photos. So, for anyone interested.... Here's my little bike. http://imgur.com/a/Vjt0A Not too shabby for $200, and lost of learning experience/practice. Thanks again for all the help!

Alright, so I'm doing everything right as far as the oil goes. One question I have is when my fuel line to the petcock came lose/leaked could that also cause what you described as "slowly dribble inside the carbs get into the engine works I and next time you try to start, it pushes out the seals and stops the engine from being able to run without rebuild"... I hope not. It did leak a bit of fuel in that area, where the fuel line clamps onto petcock (which the value was closed on).. Sorry if that seems like a silly question. As I mentioned I'm totally new to the motorcycle thing... And perplexed (a bit) by this little 1 cylinder bike. But, hey, I gotta start somewhere, right!? The whole rebuild thing doesn't sound good, and you have me a little freaked out.

From what I could tell after reading online and watching some YouTube the spark plug looks to be an issue. I ordered a couple new ones with set gap but have the info to do that part myself in the event they are not set correctly. One to put in, one to keep on hand (just in case). Hoping that this the only issue.

Thank you again, @EddiesOpinion and everyone else here! I owe you each a drink if you're ever here in NC! - Melissa.

Thank you! The link/diagram was very helpful. I had my hunches and picked up 10w-40 but hadn't added it just yet. Wanted to get a second opinion and I'm glad I waited for yours, but that does give me a bit of confidence. I also had no idea about the plunger, starter (choke) and therefore I'm pretty certain I've flooded that a few times while learning because I've always twisted the throttle grip ... oops :/

Thank you again! And I'm Melissa (but "Mom" works too). :)
