GOOD Day -complete rookie here - I am looking for advice, feedback and connections. I touched a 2 stroke for the first time in 30 years and I am hooked. This is my dad's bike, I think he bought it new and raced it and gave it to me in the 90s. My dad passed away last year so I decided to rebuild it.
I rebuilt the carb, reused everything and it fired right up. First goal, tires and shocks - get it rideable so a third generation can try it and then I will pull it apart next winter and rebuilt it.
Initial questions:
- everything is original. Tires are in bad shape, cracked any way to keep them?
- Rear Shocks - completely seized - not sure how to size and replace them?
- Front shocks - ChatGPT tells me I can rebuild them, they work but rubber is cracked and oil would be 40+ old.
