Just scored a 1987 xr200r off of a guy who no longer wanted the bike in his garage for fifty dollars!! It does start but does not idle worth a hoot and the gears are all jacked up on it. I did not notice any smoke from the exhaust while running and the exhaust doesnt have any oil in it just black soot. I have rebuilt a honda 4 wheeler before and it was a pretty fun experience however I folllowed the service manual like the Bible. So since this is my first 4 stroke bike I guess I need to locate a good manual and start on checking the engine compression to see what needs to be done besides the obvious...right?
I guess the question here is, whats the first thing to do when bringing a questionable bike into the garage?
Tried to attach pics but it said I was over my quota...even though I dont have any pictures on here.... :whoa:
