Buying Help on a 1986 Honda XR600R
Hello,
I'm new to this whole forum stuff, but I was hoping someone could help me out.
I am looking into buying a 1986 Honda XR600R from a friend and it was used for off road only, but he still has all the electrics except for the R/R.
He claims the guy before me replaced the following:
Valves, cam, cam chain, crank assembly, bored head with NOS piston, and cam chain sliders.
My questions are as follows:
1. At night, the headers start to glow after 45seconds to a 1 minute of warm up at 45 degrees outside. Is this normal?
2. He has a SuperTrapp exhaust but I don't know if he put the Supertrapp headers on. Would this cause the pipes to Glow?
3. Should he have rejetted with the aftermarket pipe?
4. Should the bike whine consistently even at idle?
5. Would that noise indicate the cam chain is too tight and he may be trying to hide a worn out chain?
6. And lastly, is this bike worth $900??
Sorry for all the questions.
This is my first Enduro and any help will be greatly appreciated.
-Michael
