    Barn find!

    It was for sale on the list. $300 bones is what he wanted. I gave him a happy $250 It doesn't run. The flywheel is missing and the lighting coil is toast. It has a ton of squeeze.

    Guy said it's an 85. I didn't see the year stuck on the steering stem near the forks. Any place to check?

    it seems like theres something wrong with the clutch. No tension on the cable. The shifter moves waaay more than reasonable. It does go into the gears.....

    Occasionaly, the kickstart will click and not crank the engine.


    In other news, 190psi comp :-D

    Thing is that you can mix up some stuff for those 2 years. I've also seen stock and 2 different style braces on the left middle motor mount as well as under the rear seat post rubbers.

    86-85 swinger/85 with 86 motor. Bunch of crap.... Run the VIN but then again, who cares, just use your best parts

    no doubt it's an 84. A decal showining the model year and vin would be on the downtube.the vin should be stamped into the left side of the steering neck

    Good news everybody. The clutches work!! stronger than im used too.

    The shifter... was very lose on there. some light stripping on the shifter, but not the shaft I've ground a little down to get this on there snugger. getting ready to put it on and see how it fits!

    It shifts great!

    I'm thinking about Rickys stator and flywheel combo. I read all the horrible reviews of it. But i never read about anyone using the 12v AC regulator that they state to use on the website.

    My tecate has a Ricky Stator and flywheel and I believe dcreel said it has been on there for many years without a single hiccup.
