[QUOTE="Reesknight, post: 770928, member: 36291"] Yes that sounds like piston slap and if I were you, I would not ride it again until the top end was replaced or you run the risk of serious engine damage. As for the idle, i would think you either have a small air leak or the needle seat is worn and that bike will have very little to no engine breaking. It also sounds like the ratchet and/or spring is worn inside your kickstarter. As for making it more of a trail bike, I would say the garly pipe with a pipe guard would be good as well as a flywheel weight and you may want to look into getting it ported for more low end. Definately get the stabilizer but until then, you may want to try raising the forks in the clamps(lowering the front end) to help with the head shake. I'm sure you also want to do normal maintenance like wheel bearings and I'd bet the swing arm bearings are shot if the previous owner did not replace them. Good luck! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
