[QUOTE="DougTx, post: 1316658, member: 98131"] [b]What do i plan to do with it[/b] Good question, Since I know how to ride but not much about building/rebuilding I was hoping to get it running correctly and have some fun riding it while also learning about jetting carbs, doing engine work, suspension, forks etc.... I will get as deep as I need to but I have no plans for the bike being anything more than a trail riding, fun to mess with, guest bike when freinds come to ride kinda thing. Thanks for the advice on craks etc... I will look, any common places of concern I should check? My initial plan was. 1. Check compression 2. Find out what is the facorty carb so I can order a rebuild kit for it if one exists (I believe it is a Keihin PWK38mm but not sure) to learn to rebuild a carb.... 3. Check the reeds etc, clean the pipe and get all of the crap out of the exhaust (it sprays some nasty junk so it probably is not pretty) 4. If it needs one do a top end.... that seems to be pretty commonplace for two strokes.... See if I can make it run right. Once that is done... Then invest in, front,read and swingarm bearnings, recharge of suspension, check the fork seals, put some tires on it....go for some rides and learn more about making it run right. I am really a novice here so if you would like to interject some steps I am missing, I dont want to buy or do anything if the engine is shot, case is cracked, something that will make this a no go down the road... if it takes me a year to finish that is ok to.. it is as much about me learning to work on my own bikes and about what is a good and bad bike to buy as it is for me to have a motorcycle. I have no illusions about racing it or selling it for a profit or even break even. It was just for the near nothing I have in the bike it seemed a good bike to try to learn to build and fix on and have some fun in the process. Hope that makes sense....and thanks for the advice.... I am surely going to need it... I ahve the XR400 for riding when the building/becoming pops racer gets to much to handle... :) :cool: [/QUOTE]
