An ambitious 86 200 project
Here's the rolling chassis
Don't you just love the "cruiser" bars?I'm 6'2" and I have to put my arms over my shoulders to push it as it sits
See plastic welding and polishing in my future.
Forgot these when I took the pic^^^

On to the engine
Cylinder,head and piston look OK but.........
The crank not so much.I got it to move yesterday so maybe I can save it But I'm thinking not.
All the clutch side case looks good.

The flywheel side not so good.The allen bolt in the flywheel looks stripped,wonderful.Got to get a proper flywheel puller I already learned here.Don't have a sprocket cover either,second dirt bike it's gone from
Carb is going into a stinky Kleen-Flo bath.
Will need to find an airbox as it didn't come with one,looks like that might be a PITA to find to

They are a fun and comfrotable bike.
Somebody added a flywheel weight to yours. Once you get that off, you can use a steering wheel puller.
I have some parts from an '87 I took apart if you have trouble finding stuff.

Need a needle not a whole carb.Found the Mikuni needles that site.Short of doing a bunch of measuring I'll probably mess up can anyone tell me if one of the 5FL's listed is close to the 5FL52 I have here.
