Coast to Coast
So I picked this up cheap with a "stuck" motor with the intention of swapping an XR200 motor in to make a trail bike with good suspension.
Once I got it home I had the motor un-stuck in a few minutes. A little kroil in the cylinder and rock it with a ratchet. Carb and reeds were trashed from a mouse nest. Some "new" reeds and carb had it running for a floatbowl of gas. So further checks were needed. Crank bearings are stiff and one side had .002" play. So after pulling the stubborn swingarm bolt the motor is stripped.
Currently waiting on gasket kit and crank bearings. So while I wait the motor got scrubbed in the parts washer and is now waiting on the ultrasonic to heat up.
Now I'm thinking if I can keep costs low enough it might get flipped and I'll find a different bike to put the xr200 motor in.
