At any rate, dove into the motor last night.
Nothing really went wrong, and I dont have any bad news. Motor is in great shap actually. The sparkplug came right out. No stuck headbolts, or cyl stud bolts. Everything came right out.
One little suprise... after wiping it down before breaking it down, I tipped the bike over on to the right side (the brake side) and about a cup, 1.5 cups of water came out of one of the bottom holes... I can only assume its rain water. Because when i pulled the oil from the cases it was clean as ever. Strange........
Sooty plug.
Kinda clean top fin on the jug... after about 20 minutes of very careful scrubbing.
Its off and looks pretty darn clean. Those two specs on the left side are actually part of the cast. They dont come off.
Probably time for new rings.
Bike only has 10k miles... one of the previous owners went up quite a bit in size... huh.
Cyl's clean. Has a few wipe marks since I wiped it clean. I need to reoil it tonight so it doesnt start to rust on me.
