well I'm sure other members don't have all day to explain what to do if you're too lazy to look...it doesn't matter what you start with as long as you change everything that needs to be changed.

well, if you are planning on building up the motor, i would highly suggest putting a new crank and rod assembly in there with new bearings and what not, and i would also put a new set of yukon gears in there and a new shift shaft and what not...

especially if you are going to get like a big bore kit and what not... youre engine is the most critical- both cuz that what makes the bike run, and if there is a failure in one component of the engine it can easily take many other componets with it... not so much with the rest of the bike...

its not fun to have a rod bearing go and take out your piston, cylinder, and dome with it... trust me i know...

so do it right and do it once, and save yourself time and money... get that bottom end good and strong, and get that tranny good and strong as well..

i made the mistake of waiting till stuff failed to replace it, and would do it differently if i could do it over again...

this is a definite, if you are plan on upping your motors horsepower it would be best to replace/check every major component in the engine.

I'm sorta scared to run my bike with the new motor, the clutch basket is notched badly and hope it doesn't explode in my tranny lol.

you wanna buy a hinson with a 1 dune season on it? i need to tear it down, but back when i had it apart in august it still looked brand new.

i'm not gonna set here and outline your project for ya but, i'd start with the bearings/bushings of the suspension first. that way you can put this stuff on and get the frame off the shop floor or milk crate lol
