How much do you think your '83 is worth? I assure you that it is not enough to make it worth selling. You should seriously reconsider. What are...
Take a look at this. It is pretty straight forward. I just rebuilt it on my 750 two years ago. I only ended up replacing #9, #12 and #18. The...
That's great that you found the missing parts. It definitely saves a lot of time and money with a tear down. I remember a thread from a few...
Your bike is already broken in. Just change the oil and tires, then you're good to go. Enjoy it.
Here's the link to the thread. I hope you find it useful....
But you made her think it was her idea .......... right?
I had mine powdercoated last winter. I waited to do them until the tires needed replacing. It cost $100 to do both rims.
I did mine in white just to match my '86 750 (I did my '86 500 in white as well). That'll be a good winter project for you. Your New York plate...
OK. Now we believe you. Isn't it great looking at the two bikes together and seeing how far they've come. Now all you need is white rims on...
Congratulations. I'm glad to see that all went well. Now that you've this bike, I'm betting that you won't be spending much time on the '83....
Don't these bikes have an overflow to prevent such damage?
As already stated, the mileage is fine. I'd focus on trying to figure out the history of the bike as best as you can and evaluating how it was...
Definitely not a hater as I own the 500 (and love it). It just sounds like engel630 is looking to buy a 1st Gen and is unaware of its weaknesses....
I've always wanted a dual sport bike. I'm thinking that I'll be replacing my XR650R with a CRF450X once they put fuel injection on it. At that...
I'm surprised that the AMA is going to let him race. Does anybody remember Jason Lawrence? He was arrested for disorderly conduct and the AMA...
Your wife is very understanding to let you take your bike on your honeymoon! Thanks for the link. I'm kicking around the idea right now, but I'm...
I can't believe I'm going to say it, but I'm actually going to agree with Squirrel on this one. If you're looking for a cheap VF, then that is...
Matt - I love what you're doing with your 500. Don't sell yourself short on your abilities as you've already done more than what the average Joe...
Thanks capn. I've been working on these bikes for a while. I started the 750 in 2002, the 500 in 2004 and the 1000 in 2008. I finally finished...
I've got custom plates on all 4 of my bikes. I think it is a great way to personalize your bike, but it sucks when you get the yearly...
