    so dug out the old 82 430 to consider what to do?
    broke my ankle recently and reconsidering all future riding and restos
    actually sold my main riders recently 99 360 and 02 KTM 380EXC
    putting my 93 360 back together when I get healed up
    then,,, what to do with the 82 430
    will post pics of the dug up bike when I can get back to the garage, hard to get around on crutches
    it needs a few things but overall not a disaster to get going, a few lost parts, but replaceable
    have a broken top fin on the cylinder, anyone got a barrel laying around?

    Think you'd regret it if you sold it . The 82 430 is an awesome bike .

    that's a good question, and this one has a few upgrades, like a Pro Circuit Mossbarger, you know that odd one that had the boost bottle
    that said, I'm a bit gun shy about riding these days, that ankle injury caused me to consider my age

    I'll say keep it , get it running and enjoy it . I know how happy I was when I found and bought back my 81 cr430 after 25 or so years after selling it , didn't even try to get it cheaper .

    it's not like I'm at ease with this for sure
    but it's also been parked for quite a while
    been playing with the 87 version of that power plant

    with all the support here it's most likely I will keep it
    and ankles do heal slower with age, but bikes seem cooler with age :)

    I sold my collection and regret it. If it wasn’t for the misses I’d have huskys in every room. My 84/250wr is sleeping waiting for the warmer temps.

    Broke my ribs four times, twice in one year. It never healed right. It’s been 15 years. Tore both shoulders and ran the hottest water I could take in the shower there not perfect after a year but still work. Never give up.

    Friendly advice: Check your piston-to-head clearance on this one. Looks like more than a proper squish pattern, and more like it's dangerously close to giving a little "smooch"...

    the base gasket is currently not there, when something is on a bench people can't help themselves, they turn things

    "they turn things"..they pull levers and press buttons as well. saw a bloke casually reach over and press the starter button on a road bike in a shop years ago and it turned over and fell off the stand:eek:. they made him pay for the indicators and the clutch lever perch that was broken...wasnt long after this they started putting lockouts on...i had a unit kick my sherpa over with a rag in the intake port once and yep it was stuck btw the piston and the cyl requiring a full tear down to remove :mad:
