Yes, the bick is trash now; remove it and discard it. The
framizat and the left Thelman wire should be inspected as
well, and you would probably benefit greatly from an
overhaul of the hydraulic temporal reverser sprockets.

Brilliant! NOT.
Bought a bike that's been in storage for 7+ years and you with no apparent
useful knowledge as a mechanic.
What did you expect would happen?? A miracle??

Not trash. It's worth $5 to me. Will put in garage with the two Suzuki
GS650GL and the Kawasaki GPZ750 and the Honda V45 Sabre. I just need to
sell the first three first.
