Welcome BadLuck. As crush pointed out, we do have the PDF downloadable manuals at our disposal here. I would suggest printed/saving one of those before tearing into any project on the bike. It will also have most of the fluid info that you seek.

I think he's selling doctavee.....

You completely stole that damn thing! Shame on you, and congrats!! haha

Then get to it!!!! haha

Welcome man! Seems like a pretty good deal to me. The rear could be a frozen brake, or maybe a frozen sprocket, or maybe chain as well.

Some of the caliper rebuild kits include a new piston...

I'm pretty sure you won't have a problem getting rid of the drum set-ups if you decide to swap.

I doubt it...

Looks like a pretty good deal to me! http://louisville.craigslist.org/mcy/2359412193.html

HA! I knew it was a 650 tank! lol

You can also use Honda Rebel 250 shocks...

When you look at the bike, look at the top of the engine, towards the rear, directly below the carbs....There should be a chrome cover with 2 bolts holding it down....THAT'S where your starter used to be. It actually may still be there if you're lucky, some people just disconnect them and remove...

Oh, ok. I thought he was saying that the wheels were aftermarket....Just seemed like stock spoked wheels, but I see. Well I'm glad it seems to run and shift well, it sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Carbs are pretty easy to clean and adjust once you get inside of them. Plus, you have a ton...

Looks good man! Nice work! The only thing I would say is that the bike would look a lot better now, to me at least, with an extended swingarm....I know it isn't carrying with the "tracker" feel, but it seems to me that a longer swingarm is needed to fill in the space under the new rear frame...

Without too much hassle??........a 400cc from a Yamaha XS. lol No EASY engine swaps that I know of, none at all that I've heard of actually.

Good job man...take your time! Good luck!
