Starting to clean everything up while waiting on parts....Seems like this engine went into a lot of different bikes globally. Starting in...
No real update, been on vacation in the Great White North. Working with Google translate on images and got this. [ATTACH] What it translates...
Dream bike for me! Good luck with it should you buy it!
Oh, yeah! It will get rebuilt, just don't know how long it will take!
Probably, but won't be able to tell until I can actually split the cases. One item that is blowing my mind is that the parts list says the front...

LOL. YES!
Yeah, may as well pull the clutch cover, it is actually easier to do this with the engine in the frame.
Pulled the oil pan......I found the smoking gun....... not sure what bearing went south but I am guessing one of the rods. Nothing is ever...
