After the third attempt I finally made it through the registration process. Just picked up a '97 750 that has mechanical problems, but nothing that is not fixable. After getting the motor off & the oil pan off found the remains of 2nd gear in the oil pickup screen. This caused an oil starvation to the upper left side of the head destroying both cams, 4 of the rockers & the head/cam caps. Being relegated to a long term project I plan to replace the gear/synchro or maybe the whole transmission if I can find one for the right price. I also plan to remove the crank to insure all foreign materials are cleaned from the engine cases. I have my work cut out for me, but actually enjoy the mechanical part as much if not more than the riding part.
Looking forward to the project & learning some more about these great bikes.
