Hi crooscroos,

The chassis looks rough and maybe thats given me somewhat of a false impression..

I checked for abnormal play in the steering stem roller bearings and found none, I also checked for side to side place in the swingarm bearings and found none. Maybe I just so happened to luck out on this thing :D

But seriously I havent dug into it much yet, im going to wash it off real good tonight so I can see better.

Heres a couple things I do know.

1. The 7/16" drain bolt
2. RTV on the counter sprocket (Im thinking for circlip security?)
3. 1 broken radiator mount, another rad. possibly leaking.
4. Frame and sub look terrible, lack of paint.
5. Tires = shot
6. Missing some fasteners


On the good side it appears this bike has a newer set of forks? It has the compression and rebound clickers..

Thanks!

crooscroos:
Doesn't sound like anything too major! Let us know if you run into any difficulties!

Here is a better picture of the bike after washing..




i pressure tested the radiators last night, put about 5 lbs. Into the rad cap hole with fluid and showed no leak on the guage..
