margay panther 77x

Post by Victor Pollaccia » Wed Feb 24, 2010 12:15 am

I want to install a yahama kt-100 and my question is will there be enough clearance, because i will be using the biggest seat possible and it will be a right hand drive. Thanks.

Just have your elbow removed and the engine fits fine. :D They ran karts like that so it should not be a problem. In 1977 clutches ran inboard against the seat and the pipe came out the front with the carb in the back. If I remember the engine was a little further back on the chassis so your elbow was in front of the engine. Seat size should not be a huge factor unless your installing a bathtub. I did that for a customer once and it's not easy.

Plese don't ask any more Yamaha question on this site. If you have questions like this just email me privately and I will do my best to help.
