hey all! Im Devon, i live in Reno, NV. I wanted a bike for over two years and took my msf course a little over a year ago now, but had my license and no bike up untill now 
a friend of mine that took the msf course with me bought a 1992 xj600 shortly after. after about a year of riding it it mysterioulsy broke down. Fed up and out of money my friend put it up for sale. As a joke over lunch one day i offered to take it off of his hands for him in exchange for fixing his jeep. Much to my suprise he was signing the title over to me within the hour. I was then in the possession of a broken xj! after tearing it apart i found the problem was the pistons. All four were cracked and the piston rings basically disentegrated. being a 19 year old college student working a part time minimum wage job i have had to wait paycheck to paycheck to buy parts over time. If i find time maybe i will make a project page? anyways i hope to be up and riding within a month and will do all other maintence (oil change, clean carbs,fuel pump?) along the way. Wish me luck and thank you for all the advice i have found on the site so far! :Mozarkrider:
