New Bike, new forum

Hello. Just purchased a 1985 VF1000. It needs a little tlc. I researched a little on this site before I started my carb cleaning. Glad I read about not disassembling the carbs if you don't have to. Saved myself some grief. It's a high mileage unit (49,000 km), but everything is intact, factory exhaust isn't rotten (odd for a Canadian bike) and just in need of a good going over. It was a victim of a bad paint job, but that can wait until winter, get er together and ride.

 

two things.welcome to the site lots of information floating around here...and good that you didn't take the maniflod off of the carbs when you pulled them....that just is asking for trouble....

 

Thanks Crusty, I will post a pic when i get it back together. It is torn apart right now

 

pictures in any state are good...it helps the guys browbeat..I mean encourge you to get the project finished in a timely manner

 

Welcome aboard! Good luck on the rebuild.

You had it, just missed a couple characters. Use the format. One link only with each
