What I did on my break today.
Slideshow video...
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/4...b2014ea93f.htm
I bough this bike from my old neighbor, it had been totally submerged in two floods. I paid $200 for it...
I got all the water and mud out of the cylinder, drained the water from the case/frame
cleaned carb & jets, new plug and adjusted valves and she fired up.
flushed it with oil about 6 times, and was still coming out watery, so i took some iso-heat and mixed it with oil and did that twice and it got all the water out.
its a XR350r, has a dry dump oil system which is kinda cool i guess...
doesn't smoke, has decent power, once you get in 3rd+ you can really notice the lack of raw power but its fun to poke around on... kinda top heavy...
Not bad for 200 bones.

Re: What I did on my break today.
What's all that white ---- on the ground? 
I just got a new paddle put on, changed my gear oil, air filter, cleaned, lubed and ready to roll for a weekend in Glamis. In 48 hours I'll be unloading my bike for an unlit night ride.
My buddy has a light that I'll be able to see good enough with if I ride close enough
I hate 4 strokes, but for the price you can't go wrong. I've been wanting to get something with an electrical system that I can run lights with so I can ride at night. I wish the gf made more money so she can buy a quad.....and I could ride it.
