Well, I have the engine out of the bike now. The exhaust gave me a tad bit of trouble but everything else is going quite smooth. Unfortunately I completely F#@&ed up my back as I was shuffling the engine a few feet. Looks like work will be stopped until I can get this useless excuse of a spine back in shape again.
Well, I downloaded it and read it through. Nice supplement to any service manual. The translation is a bit funny. One the tools needed to rebuild the engine, I'm trying to figure out is what the String Trimmer is for? Maybe to weed-whack around the bike when removing it from the bushes where is sat for the last 20 years.
The pics are a bit fuzzy but those cutaways of the engine are great. Easy to see how parts interact.

Travis, you asked if he was planning to rebuild for the experience or to save money because it costs more to rebuild than to buy used. I would like to rebuild for the experience but I am also on a pretty tight budget. Any idea what a complete rebuild costs, roughly?

5Twins, you've done a great service.
Well, I wish I could take more credit for this but I had absolutely nothing to do with writing the original or the translating. All I did was break the translation into parts so it could be uploaded here, lol.
My school of thought is that if you're going to own and maintain an old bike, you should collect up as much info and reference material on it as you can. This book makes a nice addition to all the readily available factory and aftermarket manuals already out there.

Zedder is a nice reference tool. Long before the POS (point of sale) sites used a cross model reference.

Living in Indiana. Anyone know where best place would be for getting a 650 running right? Keeps having misfire after running really good for a couple of weeks. Getting tired of messing with it. Thanks...
