I have yet to ride it, steering head bearing is shot, I'm waiting on parts. It took a few hours to get the rusted, nasty bottom bearing off the steering shaft! UGH!!
I've also replaced the chain with a o-ring, and replaced the 13 and 47 sprockets.
I have not had a bike since I was 14-15 years old, I'm now 36. My biggest bike before this was a '73 Yamaha LT3 100 so I think the 200 will be just fine!
Since I can't ride it at the moment I have decided to get more acquainted with the bike. I've taken most of the plastic off, and I'm in the process of cleaning it. I opened up the airbox and cleaned it, it was full of mud and gunk.
I hope to get a service manual soon, So I can figure out how to fix everything.
Looks like I need to put new fork seals in the left fork, I hope that is not to difficult. I noticed a trail of oily gunk running down the left fork and on to the brake caliper. The caliper was all gunked up so I took it apart and cleaned it, and I put it back together.... amazing! We'll see if it still works...
See ya
