[QUOTE="ochster, post: 97009, member: 17624"] Speedstyle, For the most part these machines are pretty solid and reliable. In stock form, I have never heard of any "weak spots". Considering it's age, I would go through the head and replace valve springs/seals before flogging. The only tranny failures I have seen are on "highly" modded desert and flat track motors. A common fork set-up was 20/30 progressive springs, 70mm preload spacers (pcv pipe), and 7.5 wt oil at 130-150mm. A 600/700 pound rear spring would also help. Many guy's swapped early model CR forks on these. XR's Only has a pretty large inventory of old new stuff for these. They would surely love to deal on some of it, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
