try and put the bike in neutral now, and that whould help it come apart a little easier, you might not have to take it all the way apart.

Thanks now I might know why the valves just bent in mine last year.... I will see if my mechanic looked at that.. I will play with it this weekend, and see if I can get it to move. Thanks again for your help.

Is there a way to check this with out taking the motor apart?

I was just looking at one of these for my son, and if I can remeber right, my dealer said it was closer to $1400. I chose the PW80 instead. Got it with tax and everything for $1160.

I have an 86 XT350, I had the motor rebuilt, and with that the timing chain was replaced, along with the valves. The problem I have is, the motor seems to have a top end rattle. It sounds like a timing chain, or valves to me, but I am reasured by my mechanic that all it tight and in adjustment. What else could be making this noise? Is it a common noise for these bikes? It seems to have all the power it should, and starts and runs fine.
