Ok, got the time today and went over the ride.Seller was a really nice guy, and he tryed to give me as much information as he could.
First things first-engine. The previous owner had Nacs rebuild the bottom end in the last year. I noticed the seal for the gear shifter has rtv all over it, that needs replacing as well as the chain side case has damage from the chain. They both are not leaking but I need to fix this. Compression check tomorrow, had no time today. It starts right up on first kick, smell like race fuel as well.
Intakes, head, carb all in good shape.Has a reed spacer plate installed. Exhaust fine. I'll post more on the
Engine in the coming weeks, but I am sure I am going to tear it down and replace everything on it. Mabye see if Hoser wants a shot at at a full CSI on it even if he can find the time! I have a CP Industries jug ordered for this Engine, but I am NOT going to install and prefer some mild porting with mapping on it for this bore. Since piston size and bore is unknown, I need to tear it down. Just me.
Now the bad:
front left bottom a arm, gone, no ball joint left in it-it is done.Aftermarket or stock replacements?
sperical bearings right top a arm gone. Needs replacement.
wheel bearings both sides gone, spent. Need replacing.
Missing
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) rubber hold down as well as regulator rubber. Need to purchase
frame looks to have been welded on the top hoops by steering stem. Dunno if this is normal for these to crack in area?
Front plastics were just laying on the quad, I need most to all of the grommets and mounts for them
Rear hubs splines are worn and the hub itself wobbles both side
Sprockets and chain need replacing
front tires shot
handlebars,grips, levers, and stock OEM on/off switch junk, need replacing
rear taillight missing completely(I prefer to use them just a personal thing here)
air box lid has been modified for more air, I dislike this and too me is not needed
Airbox clips missing to hold lid onto box
The top steering stem bracket has a little slop in it back and forth. Is this normal, it is very very slight.
Now, is there a good stock replacement kit for the a arms on the market now? Also steering stems and anti vibe what the options?
Handlebars, grips? Options used by members here would be appreciated! If we have any members with experience on these rides?
I'm going to buy new rims and tires, I see bead locks all over the board here, most guys buying Hipers?OMF'S
I can probably purchase the rubber grommets and such for the plastics from Service Honda direct, or cheap cycleparts.com or is this OEM rubbers discontinued?
I took detailed pictures on my new phone but I cannot download the things for some reason, if and when I do I will show the welded area on the top hoops and the damaged areas I have just mentioned.
I appreciate your opinions on this!!
