Hello All.
Just purchased what I was told was an XR80 for my kid. I got a pretty good deal on it as teh bike needs riings and a valve adjustment.
So when I got the bike home I started looking it over. First thing I noticed was that the spark plug threads were gone. Which to me is no big deal and a pretty easy fix. However this led me to looking at the engine closer.
While starting to look it over I noticed the engines serial number did not seem to match what I was told I was purchasing. The serial number on the motor is, XR75E-1507636. Which I believe makes it a 1978. So far as the frame goes, I have been unable to find any markings (where should I look to find it). There is no tag on the head tube.
I do think the frame is from a later. I am pretty sure some of the body parts are. And I dont think the kicker is right eiither.
