Great work man. Turning wrench can be supremely frustrating but when everything comes together, the satisfaction is immense. I've been doing some sporadic work on a big sled motor recently. The winter before last, I was heading up the trail at about 90mph when she lost a bunch of power. Thought I fouled a plug at first (pretty common on those big 2 strokes). Then this horrible sound starts reverberating from the engine, though it keeps running. Lots of grinding, struggling. Shut it down, buddy tows me back to the truck. Pull the plugs and start peeking in the cylinders. #3 is full of shrapnel. Later inspection reveals the cylinder went bone-dry (fucking oil injection is retarded...premix from now on!). Crank bearing was the first thing to blow. Put all kinds of play in the stroke. Piston started smacking the head and shattering. Shattered pieces scored the fuck out of the cylinder. The bottom of the rod made a mess of the inside of the crankcase, and put a huge dent in the bottom of the crankcase on the outside.
All in all it's pretty ugly. I was hoping it was a something I could manage just with new parts, but some parts needed machine time. Still I learned a fuckload taking everything apart, and am looking forward to getting everything back together and getting my sled back to life. Luckily in this day and age there's a lot of resources for aspiring mechanics, plus a good friend is a straight up whiz can always help me through anything difficult.
Anyway good luck dude, sounds like a sweet deal you got.

Damn dude nice job with the bike  I have a 2001 xr 200, last summer I busted it out for a ride after it barely being driven for the past few years. I was hauling ass down the road when it just loses all of its power and slowly goes to a stop I was about 4 miles away from home and my phone broke about 2 days earlier walked it home and havent touched it yet haha. I'll probably tear into it this summer fix it up there were a lot of problems with it to begin with haha
