Foxx4Beaver:
I'm not trying to discourage you,but 10 years is a long time for any motor to sit,and being full of oil does'nt keep the crank bearings from pitting up,and seals getting dry.And it's not just the motor,but the suspension too...shock and fork seals,again,I'm not trying to discourage you,but if it was me,I would tear it right down to bare frame and go over everything...then you KNOW everything is up to par and not gonna have any failures....Foxx

ramblnman:
i thought of the teardown but the man i bought it from raced in two practices and two races after he got it from the original owner.. seems so that something would of reared its ugly head...

Foxx4Beaver:
I wish I could say I agree with that....but 2 practices and 2 races does'nt equal much time...maybe an hour and a half at best.But if you feel confident,then good luck,hope it works out for you!.

ramblnman:
thanks  foxx for your advice..hope i dont regret taking it!

Foxx4Beaver:
you can never regret tearing a bike down,especially one purchased used.Otherwise not only do you take your life into your own hands,but someone elses hands also.In my eyes,it's not worth the risk.And who knows,it might be fine,but atleast that way YOU know it's good to go.The LAST thing you want is any kind of failure on a high speed run,or worse...on the face/take off from a jump!!
