Well been a long time since I sat on a dirt bike as I am more accustomed to selling BMW Adventure bikes (which are huge) and what a pleasure to feel how light it is and the potential to make a great bike.
So far I have gone to town. About to strip the bike down and have frame repainted, have purchased OEM gaskets for head and base of cylinder as well as most other covers, new impeller, Pivot Works bearing kits for shock and linkage, swingarm and wheels. Sprung for a Lectron cable just because I can't be arsed dealing with jetting again and to save fuel, Barkbuster EGO hand guards, Pro Taper fat bars, new levers, new seat cover, new pegs, pro series boyeson reeds and the bike already comes with Procircuit pipe and muffler.
Haven't delved into the engine yet but feels like the powervalve is shot (or hopefully the previous owner was inept at putting in new jets and that is the issue). Either way looking forward to getting into it and bringing her back to glory.
Next stage is strip it all down, investigate the top end and install a new piston and rings, sort the powervalve and keep fingers crossed that it is all just gunked up.
Never going to get back the money I spend on her but I know I will love it once it is done...
Here she is as I picked her up
May need some advice...
