If I uploaded the picture correctly, you can see it above. Pulled the oil pan, oil pump and cylinder head last night. Nothing shocking found so far, so it looks like it could be a worthwhile project.

Pachyderm Topic Author Offline User Posts: 7 Thank you received: 5	This one came home assembled, but I had to disassemble it for storage. Didn't have the floor space for it, so all but the engine currently sits on shelves. To make space, I have to sell one of my three running bikes (realistic) or build a new shop (long-deferred dream).

Welcome Todd.
That's quite the puzzle to reassemble.

I also recently took on a project, a z750s.
Needed to build a shed to make space in the workshop for another bike, not in pieces.
