mostexcellentdude Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) Picked this up last weekend as a non-running project for $750. Been working on it for the last week and she's running good now. Below is what I've had to do to it so far, it's almost done and ready to ride. I'll be doing a full youtube video on the process when I'm done - channel name is 'MrTwoSmoke'.

mostexcellentdude Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) Carb clean... just a simple clogged pilot jet. She's a runner!! Edited January 26 by mostexcellentdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostexcellentdude Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) The entire kickstand assembly was missing when I got the bike. So happy to find a kickstand from a local.... these are nearly unobtainable, the bracket at least. Believe anything 1994-2012 is all the same.

mostexcellentdude Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Local welder saved the day by extracting the broken off bleeder screw on the front caliper... The caliper threads were pretty bad. Chased them with an M10-1.00 tap and ended up just using it as a plug. Jitsie banjo bolt with integrated bleeder to the rescue!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostexcellentdude Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 At some point someone put a different silencer on the bike... made a crude retrofit bracket out of flat steel stock to hold it away from the rear tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostexcellentdude Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 Front fender got melted on the exhaust at some point... smoothed it out with a grinder and got it installed back on the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostexcellentdude Posted January 26 Author Report Share Posted January 26 (edited) Patiently awaiting my order from The Tryals Shop in New York.... once these two guards are on I'll consider the project more or less done. So grateful people out there are still stocking parts for these old machines!! Edited 1 hour ago by mostexcellentdude 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostexcellentdude Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Front brake rotor guard from TheTryalsShop in New York is installed.... Edited 1 hour ago by mostexcellentdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostexcellentdude Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Rear sprocket guard also installed... any of the newer sprocket guards from the pro models will also fit these older bikes in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostexcellentdude Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Looks like I've reached my attachment limit here on the forum so no more pictures unfortunately. Not completely satisfied with the idle on the bike, it's slightly erratic. Suspecting possible leaking jet block gasket - got one from Jetsrus.com so I'll hopefully get that installed tonight.
