Judging by the pics, the rest don't look to good either. Find another is my advice.

Haven't cleaned anything up yet. It looks worse than it is. But the broken section has me wondering.

That part is just a guard to block grease from slinging off the chain, right? As long as it doesn't leak oil I'd say it's fine. Get that thing in a parts washer so you can spot any other cracks.
That part gets broken off alot. Most any welder can fit a piece back in there. It does more than keep chain crud off, it helps hold the sidecover from flexing when using the clutch.
That cover has been welded up before and cleaned off back to original face (you can see the gas (?) marks).
Easy to get it welded up (get it done from the inside and outside and then when you clean it up on the outside it should be almost invisible). Or, as it looks like you have plenty of other work to do, its cheaper and less time consuming to get another one. 16 on US E'bay today (I must get a job!!
)

Im with tech. That motor looks spent! I would be checking c- list or flea bay for a motor. A couple months ago I picked up an xs for 150 and the following week another for 165. And they were both complete bike. One motor is bad tho

ironsled77, i would pick up a motor but they are really hard to find here in the frozen north. Every piece of S#@* that somebody has is taken for gold. Can't even get a whole bike for under 2500.00. Just not enough of them here to begin with thus the steep price for crap. I will clean everything up this weekend for sure to really see what shape it is in. Thanks for the opinions, keep um coming.
