Electrics were 6 volts and i spent a while looking for the points before i found that the ignition was magneto.
Fun little bike. I sold it 6 months later for more than I paid.

The D1 is similar, but I'm about positive it is a 85cc J1T or J1TL. See page 13 at www.kzrider.com/modules/ServiceManuals/M...nition_1963-1978.pdf Notice the all black seat, wide white walls tires, etc. Ed

Hello Ed, Yes this is it! Now for the Bit I did not say. There is no Registration stub. The Old timer is deceased who was original ownwer. His grandson sold it to me. I was buying it either way. But the frame tag is: J1TL 00417 Then this is on left side crankcase LFE 01062.
This engine # does not seem to coordinate with VIN? And the base of cylinder has 81 CC
It is still in back of truck, cant see too much.
But thanks for a little bit more info. This narrows it down The L J1TL would be later year.
