Hello,
Name is Mark. I just started, and I have found this forum to be FULL of info. Quite a bit more than another bike forum I frequently visit. Write-ups are awesome here.
Picked up a neglected black '95. Goal: get it back to road worthy, ride it a while, sell it, rinse and repeat.
Stinks when people let them sit outside and rot, but it gives me an opportunity to have a little fun, make a little cash, and revive a bike that would otherwise meet its demise.
Ill try and get some pictures up and document the process.
Thus far, I have rebuilt the starter, established that she will fire and run for a sec., then pulled the carbs for a good cleaning.
Once the carbs are clean, I will change the oil, bleed the brakes, replace items that need it (hoses, cables, etc.), rebuild the forks and then start cleaning and polishing.
Warning, this will be a slow process...
