OK, chain and sprockets, grips, clutch/brake levers are all on!  Here are a few pics, hopefully we can get out for a test ride tomarrow
The chain/sprockets were super easy to put on!

nice looking bike.
& colour co-ordinated with your quad too, isn't that sweet

Can anyone help me? So I notice one of the bolts on the head leaks a little coolant, would this be from a blown head gasket? Maybe the stud is broke or something? It didn't feel loose.    I think it's an easy enough fix if so, looks pretty simple. I need to find out what the torq specs are, need to order a manual.

[dragonz]

Head gasket possible, but possibly the bolt where the leak is has a copper gasket or o-ring under it.
Either pretty common on 2-strokes.
Clean & anneal the copper gasket, or replace it, or if o-ring, replace.

Not a bad idea to pull the top end down all the same on any 2nd hand 2-stroke

The torque settings are pretty low on these things 30-40lb from memory.
If you're going to check the gaskets out, buy a set of rings, check out the piston clearance too.
They are cheap things to replace (relative to a 4 stroke) & will make a big difference to the longevity of the motor.

One other thing (from Personal experience)
Replace the reeds annually
These motors are case-reed induction, the reeds can break due to the constant stress from flexing every induction cycle.
Buy some boysen reeds.
When they brake, they don't screw up your motor the same way.

I pulled that nut off and the washer was bent, it wasn't copper just a normal washer. So I put a new one one and no more leaks. sweeet! I talked to a guy ata shop and next week we are going to bring it in and he is going to clean the carb and check the reeds. Otherwise it's running pretty good, I ran some seafoam through it and changed the tranny oil and we went for a ride last night and it was running nice, just not as crisp as it should be. still some hesitation and slight bogging.
