@ fanoboss – it will definitely fire up – its just a matter of how much work to get it there. I’ve seen bikes way worse than this brought back to life- I remember awhile back I saw a picture of a 650 with a tree growing straight through it.

if it is stuck you can free it up with some mild acid in the cyls , let it soak for a few hours , suck it out with a baster and then refill the cyls with light oil , suck that out , then turn the motor using a big strap wrench on the rotor . Dont try to free it up with the kicker . I have done this to several of my old bikes , they dont smoke or use oil , I just went on a 275 mile ride on my 78 xs650 custom that sat for many years stuck , I have rode it over 8000 miles since I freed it up .

Well I am bringing it home tomorrow and will probably make sure the motor frees up befor I strip it apart. Give me 4 months and hopefully i will have a finished pic for the site. If i don’t g et too ahead of myself i will try to take pics as the build comes along.

I wouldn’t be surprised, with a little work, if she didn’t fire right up.

Oh, yeah, and mine cost me $200.00 and three bottles of booze, so you’re getting away cheap!

Go for it, bro’! My ’75 was leaning up against a shed, no cover for at least that long. If you think it’s siezed, try taking off the generator cover, put a breaker bar on the crank nut, and start bonking the breaker bar with a rubber mallet. My generator had barnacles on it! It was siezed, not the motor. Nothing left but the cleaning up.
