So I bought a 1980 xs 400 that was not running the kick starter would not move and the starter wouldn’t turn the engine over took the spark plugs off inspected with the scope no signs of interference got the engine to turn with a ratchet was not easy at the beginning but got it going smooth I drained the oil and found a piece of Badly wrinkled shim-metal like extremely thin gauge
Changed the oil and filters started the engine it turned over twice then seized again.
Still no interference but the seizing looks like it’s coming from the transmission. What do you guys think I should do or what do I need to takeoff to access the internal gears of the transmission?
