thanks for the help the reason why its so dirty is cuz it came from a junkyard and it has a oil gas and everyother leak when i got it a week ago, i paid 200 buck for it it starts on first kick but it seems to have alot of little problems but i want to make sure all seals, plugs, wires, gaskets are in place before i start cleaning it, id hate to get water in any cases. im new to 4 wheelers so im asking alot of questions just to make sure im doing everthing right! thanks for all the help and yes i will clean it soon, then i will start buying parts, anyone have any ideas on a cheap but decent swing arm and a arms or what i should use i been told a lot of diffrent things what do you guys think?
