I have no idea, friend bought it with 200 miles, came to me at about 300 with a roasted clutch. This is a 790 clone, they're known for getting junk in the oil jet and burning up.

No scoring in the jugs, but we did see foreign material. Also the jugs are part of the crankcase for extra fun...

Finally have an english manual. Engine looks 99% fine, but there were some bits on top of the pistons and oil coming out the exhaust. Sump backed up and filled crankcase with oil. Not sure if oil rings are toast, or if crap fell off spark plug and im wasting time lol.

long story, but a friend came to me with bad clutch at 300miles on odo. New clutch in, installed incorrectly (my fault, but also kove could not provide a service manual... put two fiber disks in the shallow trench like jap bikes but only one on ktm clone). Shit all in engine so rebuild to be safe

Plan is to use 6061 aluminum, there are a few remote cnc services, seems like maybe around 20 bucks each to have them machined, bead blasted, and anodized + shipping
