Well now I did it! Think I blew the rings on my last ride. Started to sound lean on the way back to camp, and eventually died. It sounds terrible when I kick it, but it still turns over! Now I have an excellent excuse to tear into the bike!
I will wait until I get moved to the new house before I start dissasembly, and I think I will remove the engine to give me full access to everything. Ill document the process if anyone is interested and make a few youtube videos too.
Now to find a nice YZ 250 to ride for the summer while I gather all the parts and get the dull bits powder coated! I want this bike to look as cherry as it will run, and if I buy a backup bike it will be something I can find parts for anywhere... I only have the patience for 1 exotic at a time!
