My son just got one. Runs good. I rode it keeping in in first. But when he rode it, he up-shifted and could not get it back down. Neutral light is broken too, so we can't tell when in neutral. It has fresh oil and hasn't been flooded, but it could still be sticking. The clutch is acting like it is stuck too, at least a little. After my son fell (he's okay, bike has minor damage), I rode it back with the clutch pulled in all the way, and the bike was still moving. Anyway, we have some adjusting and learning to do. I hope it's just stuck from sitting a while.
I, it seems easy enough but not having done it I don't feel comfortable doing it on someone elses bike! That and I simply do not have the time right now, I am guilty of taking on too many projects!

I wish I could have fixed this one, would have been fun to ride!
WOW, I would love one of those bikes. They are getting pretty dang rare
It's a pretty clean bike for it's age. I still prefer the styling of the early 80's.
i had the same prolum it not that hard to slit the case the hard part is freeing up shift forks. i did mine and it works good now
