Everything seems great except the motor runs so Damn hot. It won't run choked at all but runs perfect otherwise. I put about 30 miles on her tonight but I replaced the float valve and fixed the air leaks, runs really strong. What else should I look at?

This weekend I've begun swapping my good parts to bike #2. So I far I've done the carb and airbox, I did the rear wheel and brake pads today and it's also gotten a new chain and sprockets. I also rigged up the new headlight plastic provided by the PO and managed to get a quick ride in last night. After lunch, I...

Nothing unusual cropped up in this restoration so I haven't posted about it before. It's another frame-up rebuild starting with a shot blasted and powder coated frame. It's got a US silencer on it which has quite a deep throated note but is not offensively loud

Thought i'd start a thread of stripping the TTR down to get the frame powder coated, think it will be easier to keep all the related posts in one thread.
