Shifter crossover shaft was well and truly rusted to the coupler, regardless of the rubber bootie. The replacement bootie will get a bit of RTV silicone to seal it up.
Clutch plates are not too bad; they'll clean right up.
With the alternator, starter drive bits, and primary chain tensioner removed, the primary just needed the usual alternator rotor and drive sprocket pullers, and off it all came.
Primary drive and transmission (tranny yet to be torn down and inspected)
Pulling the rear isolastic was easier than I anticipated, the through bolt wasn't frozen inside the iso sleeve as is very typical. Swingarm spindle slid right out. That's it, bare frame!
Like new, not even a hint of oil in the rockerbox covers (rockers and valve springs have a nice film of clean oil on them)
Champion N3C are incorrect fitment. Right plug just a touch lean, left side a bit rich. Readings may be off, due to incorrect plug spec (should be N7YC).
Piston front faces show witness discoloration where the cylinder skirt cut-outs reach (I didn't think they went that high up). I've never noticed this prominent coloration. No significant scuffing or scratches.
Piston rear faces look pretty much like the fronts.
A bit of blow-by on the piston sides. At a minimum, the bike will get new rings (still need to mic everything).
Virtually zero sludge in the crank trap. Just a bit of gooey, dark oil.
Hardly dirty sludge trap.
Rod bearing shells are in very good condition, just a bit of easy wear, no scratches. Almost all of my photos are right side parts on the right, left side parts on the left (same with head, plugs, pistons, etc.)
Just need to tear apart the transmission and head, carbs, and forks, and the disassembly phase will be done.
