With 154k on the odo, at 70 mph, the little 650 motor went south. Being as it is kinda old, I will look to the group for advise.

 

I am certain it is worth more parted out than fixed. New handlebar, stainless steel brake lines, fork brace, Givi side and top bags, not a scratch in the tank or colors - except where the exhaust maybe melted the fender a little. I got a new front and almost new rear along with all the suspense being done.

 

Or ....

 

 

I find a used 650 and put it in.  I looked in AZ ... no good 650 motors to be found and the one in the bike goes .... bang ... bang .... bang ... when you hit the starter.

 

Clueless in Phoenix ...

Well not really clueless, just looking for input.
