Traded a guy some gun powder for this 98 pw80 today.
My oldest daughter has been begging me for a dirt bike and this deal was too good to pass up.
Needs some work which is perfect because I’ve been wanting another project.
The good: starts and runs really well and all the important things seem ok.
The bad:
Needs a throttle cable
The head pipe heat shield is missing and it’s missing the muffler all together…
Missing the kickstand:
Chain adjusters are cobbled up:
Spark plug boot probably needs replaced
Steering head bolt washer doesn’t look OEM or really up to the task
Thats what I can see from my quick 5min inspection, me and my daughters will tear into it tomorrow and see what surprises it has for us.
Plan is to take care of what needs taken care of for now. Then over the winter we might tear it down and refresh it a bit.
