changing motors

Does anyone know if i can put a kz125 motor in ake 100 bike?
Short answer..... no.
But first, what is a KZ125? I googled it and got some small Asian bike factory making new bikes from old Japanese blueprints. Origin of that bike's engine is unknown at this time, but chances are since it's a fourstroke, it won't bolt in.
Did you mean a KX125? Since it is a Kawasaki like the KE100, I think maybe you did. That really won't bolt into a KE frame.
You can put almost any engine into almost any bike if you modify them enough, the exhaust from a KX will be a Muther to modify to fit a KE.....
If you are looking for a bolt-in motor for a KE, find a good KE engine. Anything else will be more work to fit than the result will be worth. The KE chassis was a dog 30 years ago, barely able to hold the power of it's original, gutless piston port engine. Anything with more power would twist that poor KE into a wobbly knot.
Nothing wrong with the bike, as it was intended, but it was intended as a smallbore, dual purpose runabout, nothing more.
