[QUOTE="DavidR8, post: 1468133, member: 140957"] Update time. I gradually stripped the bike to the point of pulling the head and cylinder in anticipation of doing the top end job the ad said it needed. It has GPIMotocross rads in good shape[ATTACH=full]20028[/ATTACH]. More evidence of lousy 'paint job' [ATTACH=full]20029[/ATTACH] Popped off the powervalve cover to discover it is completely pristine. [ATTACH=full]20030[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]20031[/ATTACH] Off with your head! (far more clean than I expected) [ATTACH=full]20032[/ATTACH] Next the cylinder. (looking pretty good. So far. <-- see what I did there? That's called foreshdowing :) [ATTACH=full]20033[/ATTACH] Cylinder is off! [ATTACH=full]20034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20035[/ATTACH] When I got the bike it wouldn't kick over. I put this down to a stuck ring thus the need for a top end job. If only that were the case. Oh look! Errant plastic! [ATTACH=full]20036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20037[/ATTACH] Looks like it came from here: [ATTACH=full]20038[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20039[/ATTACH] The rod is almost immovable. I'm mulling over what I'm going to do. I did text the PO and tell him that his advertising was false. It does not need a top end. It needs a new crank. He said it was running. I told him there was no possible way it was running. It wouldn't kick over.There was 2 cups of gas in the pipe. Every motor mount was loose. I asked for $400 back for a new crank and rod. He said it was more expensive to do the top end than the bottom end. He sent me this picture as evidence. [ATTACH=full]20040[/ATTACH] I told him it that was a big bore kit and was irrelvent as it doesn't need a new cylinder. It needs a new crank. He said had another buyer who was upset it sold. I told him I'll gladly put the bike back together and give it back for a full refund. If that doesn't happen I'm in the market for a used oem crank so I can put this thing together and decide what to do next. Ask me if I'm annoyed. [/QUOTE]
