Hi my name is Rob and I am working on my first bike build. I bought a 1982 XS 650 motor. I tore it apart to replace the gaskets, clutch and pistons along with some of the hardware. I didn't get into the bottom end of it seeing on how new I am with this. My question is I have started to put the top end together. Now I don't know anything about the ignition, electrical. Should I close the engine up with out the PMA system or should I put the PMA system in then do the cam chain and so on. Should I put the old rotor on and put the rest of the engine together then replace the rotor with the new PMA system. I have the pistons on and the cylinders in place but not the rotor. Can I continue with the build then put the PMA system on or should I take off the pistons and cyclinders so I can lock the engine and put the PMA system on? I have a manuel and it helps but I am still over my head. Any and all info would be great. Thanks.
Rob
