Yes I just found a 1977 650 with only 3,400 miles on it for only $4oo.00! The bike looks alittle rough but with only 3,400 miles The engine should be just broke in good. Right? Also, What should I do to it before putting it on my bike?


Thanx Bro's

Well, I'll be gettin this bike pretty soon. I'm hoping to have good luck with this motor. I guess I'll drain the engine oil and remove the cover thats on the bottom of motor and clean any metal shavings thats in there. Replace points, check valve and timing chain adjustments.
