Perhaps it will run for a few seconds or minutes but it will die eventually. Stock bikes cannot run just with their battery. You need to have your stator repaired.

Correct, the bike will not charge. Aside from that, if the flywheel is actually bent, and it sounds that it is, you will need a new crankshaft and probably a new stator. Without major repairs the bike will never run again. The crank will cost around $650 and the stator will cost around $330 and if the flywheel has been damaged ( it probably has been ) it will cost around $330 as well. The cost for the repair shop will be around $2000 to $3000. The bottom line is that you got taken by the guy who sold it to you. He knew full well the repairs would be far more than the bike was worth. Unless you can get a good engine from a salvage yard, you are pretty much hosed. Google motorcycle salvage kawasaki and see what you can find. I am sorry about the situation. Best of luck to you. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

This is taken verbatim from the Clymer's manual for 81 - 88 rm 125 - 250's. "The ignitiion timing is preset and does not need periodic adjustment. The timing should only need to be checked if the stator assembly has been removed for engine repair or ignition repair." If you did install a new stator, the manual has a picture which shows the rib of the case aligned approximately in the middle of the stator timing mark.If you're still unsure, I would invest in a manual as "If the stator timing mark and the rib are not aligned, ignition timing will be incorrect. Incorrect timing can easily cause serious engine damange as well as lack of performance."

Good Luck

The stator has nothing to do with reverse. The two are in no way connected

This is a simple repair. Just remove the left side cover and the stator comes out with the cover. The stator is bolted to the cover on the inside.
Could you take a moment to rate my answer? Thanks!

Check the rectifier, its responsible for charging the battery when running, the fuse too, however the rectifier if it can not be repaired, better to buy a new one......................sodeep
