Thanks for the advice, I seen a few case splitting tools online for $30 I might order. So far I have purchased a Wiseco complete bottom end kit, moose racing high compression head gaskets, new piston rings, fmf exhaust spring/seal kit, and a new 130/80/19 Kenda rear tire. It was listed as a "southwick" but is actually the 778 enduro version that is dot approved for street, hopefully it hooks decent in the sugar sand. I called the local Honda dealer and was quoted $185 if I remove the motor, head, flywheel, clutch, etc for them to split the case and replace all parts & seals I provided. I feel this is pretty fair, how about you guys?
*Edit*
So far I have removed the pipe, rc valve assembly, carb, flywheel, stator, and cracked loose all the bolts on the motor mounts and swingarm in no time. The bottom two 14mm nut's broke free, but are very hard to turn and I dont want to snap them, I am letting everything absorb the wd-40 overnight. Also when I remove the swingarm does the bolt just come out and I can remove the motor, or do I need to remove the linkage etc? Can't want to get this thing rebuilt! :cool:
