kxpegger:
That swing arm has been spanked! Need to go over the rest of the bike with a fine tooth comb.
FPMXer:
Already been done. That's all I've found. It's too bad I didn't see that when I bought it. It was hiding under the rear brake assembly. I would have offered less money. But oh well it's all good.
FPMXer:
Just a little update. Tore the bike all the way down yesterday. Found one of the front motor mounts to be broken, top steering stem bearing to be wasted and that's about it. Gonna pick up the 93' frame this weekend and it comes with a title! It's undamaged and no weld repairs like the 90'. So I got the frame for $42 and the swingarm for $16 from the same guy. Not bad in my book. All I have to do is wait for the new stem bearings and the bike should be whole once again and running by next weekend.
Goat:
Not a bad deal. You gonna tear into the engine or just finish the season and rebuild it this winter?

As long as it's running I'm gonna ride it! Our off season here in so-cal is the summer! Winter time is desert season! I'll run it till she blows up then go through the engine.
