So I just picked up a 1996 XCR 600 last night for a good price and I'm thinking of lightly modding it to make it halfway fun for someone to ride if I have an extra that wants to come along. I literally haven't even unloaded it yet so I know almost nothing about it other than it runs and has SLP triples on it. I think I'll start by pulling the clutches both apart and cleaning them up good and inspecting parts. The guy I got it from inherited it and he put the pipes on but I doubt any clutching or jetting was done at that time. What should I be looking at for clutching and jetting to run from 5000-8000 feet?
I have a bit of leftover blue metallic paint so I think I might sand down the hood and sticking some paint to it since the hood is scratched and gouged but doesn't look to have any cracks in it. The goal is to not spend too much money on it but still make it look decent (Mod wedge chassis look awesome IMO) and run good enough that a novice rider can have a good time on it once or twice a winter.
New to modding the wedge chassis but always loved the look of them so any and all input is welcomed!
EDIT: To me it seems like it would be beneficial to basically raise the entire chassis a couple of inches to help it get out of the snow a little better. Any easy/cheap ways of doing this? I'm ok will trying my hand at fabbing some things up as well rather than buying.
Here it is as it sits.
