    Opinion #1 you need to proof read your typing better!
    Opinion #2 crank bearings always go out!
    Opinion #3 they needs lots of TLC to keep them rideable!

    I know my typing is horrible but damn it is near impossible to read your posts 75% of the time.
    I had the RIGHT to remain silent, I didn't have the ability!

    If you fix the problem areas on the motor they are fun machines. 89 has less problems than earlier models but still need some help.

    crank bearings like to beat up bearing journals in the case...

    rebuilding that motor is going to be 1200 +++
