1989 KIPS woes...
That gear is broke off sideways... The other is also broken and jamming the PV shaft. it's been jammed for quite some time... Fella said it "rode fine" before it quit kick starting.

Not to worry, OEM still makes the valves.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.... he also thought it was a 250cc...I thought this one was a 98?
HAHAHAHAHAHA.... he also thought it was a 250cc...
It amazes me what people will say 'rides normal.' Roasted piston, zero compression, and never once activated the PV in the last few years.
This bike has been clapped and stuck at half valve for quite some time and he never noticed, and thought it was a 250cc...
I guess if he was having a good time, it's just a testament to the joy of motorcycling.

Yeah, hoping to get him out of the shop with a fresh bore/hone/piston and oem valves for ~$350.Lol.
Good luck.
Bikes like that usually start first kick with a couple squirts of ether. Hahaha
