OK guys here she is....

[DocCannabis]

With much determination, learning and help from many fantastic people around here, and a very good friend of mine who knows alot about bikes, she is finally rideable!

Please don't jump the gun thinking that I'M thinkin its perfect, theres still alot to do, she needs cleaned up BADLY, she sat in a very busy shop and who knows what she is covered in, You can see the swingarm is still covered in whatever the previous owner used for lubricant, Brakes, Front and Back need to be cleaned, they have a decent amount of grime on them.... The chain still needs to be thuroghly serviced, cleaned and lubed. which will happen this weekend. I would like to go through it this winter after I have had some time with her the last thing I want to do 50 miles into my riding experience is watch her get taken BACK apart and sit while I clean.... I don't have alot of riding time left before its just unbearably cold for my newbie ***! So I'm going to enjoy it a bit!


Long story short, Installed the carbs from Arsenic, Fantastic work that man does! she primed and started RIGHT up and just Puuuurrrrrrred. Sync'd and new battery I left this morning to fuel up and proceeded to the DMV to Title and Register. With new plates, insurance and freshly printed motorcycle endorsement....AND MOST IMPORTANTLY a running motorcycle that is just oh soooo sweet I'm ready to finally ride!

So far on the NEED to do:
Chain inspection, cleaning and lubrication
Choke Cable
Clean!

Congrats on getting her running! What mods do you have in mind for winter?..and maybe it's my laptop.....but in the pic, I don't see any front flashers nor mirrors. I could be wrong, but personally, I wouldn't go out in traffic without them. I'm not sure of your laws there to get a bike registered, but up here it wouldn't fly. Be extra careful in the meantime.

Need mirrors, front and rear flashers, headlight, taillight, license plate light. Same here in the States.

[DocCannabis]

Yes, it still is missing mirrors and signals... Head and Tail lights work as well as license plate light, the little bit of slinking around the backroads I've done is with hand signals. As I said before there is still much to do, We are currently trying to find some signals to mount up as temporary until my plastics are ready. You can't tell me you would let that sweet little thing just sit in YOUR parking space without taking it for a spin, turn signals mounted or not

Trust me when I say I'm taking my time with her, she is unlike ANYTHING I have ever driven

welcome to kr looks like you will have your hands full for a little while we been there times two

You might want to consider upgrading the rear shock. I did on my 93 about a month ago. It handles and rides much better now.

Yep! I've already read about it several times and hear nothing but good things! I'm going to consider it as a winter project if I can get the money together

Thanks everyone, really happy to be apart of this site and the wonderful experience of riding motorcycles! I have several friends who ride and ready to do some rides, but I don't feel quite ready and confident enough to ride in a group yet, except for my first 2 rides its been off on my own at my own pace tinkering with mine and the bikes ability Still trying to train those muscle memories dealing with controls and staying focused on where I'm going But I'm getting better everytime I go out!

Ride safe everyone!

[uncltommy77]

Sounds like you're doing good; riding at YOUR pace.

Thanks

So far I do admit that I'm enjoying the time riding by myself, I can choose MY own pace, stop whenever I want without annoying anyone... On the country back roads with absolutely no one around I can practice my maximum braking abilities and evasions. Its just me and the bike, getting to know each other
