Welcome to the forum Tanner. Looks like a nasty couple bumps on the tank there. Any damage to that side of the engine/frame?


Good luck with your project!

I believe I uploaded one already is it not showing up?

I jumped the gun....my bad

[TannerT]

Wow I misread that on my phone I am sorry man! Saying the last few days have been long is a severe understatement. I am still working on clearing my driveway of snow, It is an 8 car parking lot and only 4 people  but I want it to melt sometime before May. Also had a damn tree fall on ours and the neighbors house, mainly getting the power line between the two which was fun. School and work have me about wore slick. I did find sometime to start deconstructing. the only things left on the frame are the wheels/brakes and rear fender. The engine is still in place by only the front lower long bolt. Hope to take it out for the checkout this weekend.

To answer your question after the long rant, the cover and frame are fine. It got dropped while stationary so it only took a mild beating.

I have taken a peak inside of  a few engine covers and it all looks so clean! I guess I shouldn't be to surprised since it only as 15K miles but I am pretty happy with that. I am looking at about $1000 bike to start with. That includes getting the motor cleaned up and re gasketed. all new fluids and plugs. Also replacing the chain and possibly the rear sprocket if it doesn't clean up good. new tank and seat/fender combo. May need new tires too but considering I run Nitto nt555s on my bimmer that run $300 each, I don't think it will kill me that much. I will also replace the battery after I get it running. Carb rebuild kit is on it's way. It should be here Friday so I can do some work over the weekend.

Nope. You didn't misread. I jumped the gun and went back and edited my post

I got my carb rebuild kit in yesterday so I will be doing those today and hopefully pulling the engine and wheels form the frame.

Okay guys after a long time I finally got time to take the bike more apart and pull the carbs and rebuild them. I threw them back on today hooked the battery up turned the fuel. let it turn over and it fired after a second or two but then died. turned it again and fired straight up and ran. very rough of course but none the less I have an operational bike for $700. however after i turned it off I noticed one of my carbs leaking out of the little drain nipple. I did notice that my floats were in less that great shape, could those be it?

Probably bad float or stuck float valve. Easy for the float valves to stick.
