I picked up a 1985 350x this summer that needed a little work but ran good when I bought it,no smoke.
I get all the little things done and it's ready for a test run. No back breaks but it ran good,kinda pulled to the one side. Come to find out the tripples and the forks were bent so I changed them and that fixed the pull.
My fiance and I were going camping so we took along my 250sx and the new 350x. Took them out for a short ride and on the way back I opened it up, I take off like a bat outta hell big trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro grin on my face. I turn around to see how far back my fiance is and she is right on my ass! I'm pinned yet she is still keeping up. We got back and the bike went on the trailer.
So I dont see smoke out the pipe but figure it must be rings that are bad? any other ideas?
I am looking at getting the ebay kit with new jug and piston and stuff for a little over $200 and was also wondering if I should do cam chain and oil pump while in there?
if the bike didn't "blow" could I get away with pulling the jug off and using a bore hone and putting new rings on?
Thanks for any advice/help
