Looking to possibly trade for a good motor. Currently has 52k seems to run good but the right cylinder is spitting out some oil. I would rather not pull the motor to rebuild right now looking for a good running motor I can add $$$$$$$$$

Did a little mock up today, hopefully next weekend the new tires will be on and everything will be buttoned up to get her running

I'm going to paint the word Yamaha black and give it a brushed aluminum look. I still have a few more pieces to paint but I'm ready to get her running again haha

Slowly but steadily I've been taking her apart and cleaning her up. Painted the frame for now, new season I'll shave some unneeded parts and have her powder coated. Got the motor cleaned a little and just painted the tank. She's about ready for a new harness and to fire up.

Thanks everyone for all the info! I took the carbs off today and I'm going to clean them up and see if I need to replace anything. I'm definitely going to get her running good before I "mod" No big plans, just new tires and paint, different gauges, tail lights etc. Just a refresh basically...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm definitely going to ride her once she gets running good before I start modding to get a feel for how she rides.
