I opened up the case enough to check out the primary chain or (hy-vo chain) and it has quite a-bit of slack in it, enough that the chain was slapping on the top of the case where the dipstice is on the case. So I decided to research primary chain tentioners, and then homemade ones found lots of good ideas. I'm still searching for plastic I think I'm going to use Delrin But I was also looking at some harley tentioners and I might be able to adapt one of those. But that is still to come , and when I get started on it I'll post some pictures.
I also decided to remove the swing-arm and disasemble the final drive/rearend. The swing arm bearings where compleatly seized , so I ordered a set off eBay, some all-balls came with the bearings and seals and 2 little o-rings. For 32$. And they just arrived today. As for the rest of the swing arm assembly everything looked great!
I also this week ordered a full gasket set for an xs850 and there wasn't any xs850 pistons on eBay so i got some xs1100 standard pistons, after hours of Internet research found out that they work in the xs850 and have the same piston rings. I sure hope so because I already found someone on a forum that was selling three piston ring sets for 150.00$ which is a good deal considering how hard they are to find period! I posted this with my iPhone so I'll have to post some progress pictures when I get a chance
