I've just completely dis-assembled the engine. And found a couple things that are slowing me down. So right now I am porting the cylinder and doing some case work. And re-building the bottom end. Do some valving in the forks+seals. And waiting for parts. After all that is done, just have some cosmetics to take care of. Then the K5 will be racing again! (if no one protests)  :roll:
And since OEM(sandblaster) and Motorad have blessed us with K5 mods, Ive got some other custom stuff to do.... I really do not need to do more than a light re-build. But the K5 deserves more.....a lot more.

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Does anyone know a powder-coating place in Eugene Oregon that can match OE green for my frame? Any other suggestions ?
