    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

She smoked a bit from the oil i squirted in the holes a few days ago. i did a compression test yesterday and got just over 200 on three jugs and a tad over 175 on the other. still lots to do but she settled into a strong 1200 RPM idle very nicely
      Take a close look at the usual cooling system components: radiator cap, thermostat, water pump, cooling fan & sensor, and hoses. Failures might happen during the next 1,000 miles. I had to replace some of those on my 87 CBR600 during the first year of riding.

        I know for sure that the 1986 Ninja 1000 still had soft valves. Had to fix a few.

          That sounds damn strong to me. Anyone know what the like-new figures would be?

              Link to todays video. Had to run a jumper from the temp sensor in the radiator to get a running fan. Used the carb tune to plug vacuum ports on carbs as i figured it was gonna need a good syncing but it was that far off. It sounds so throaty in person..i love it.

              This bike was setting in a barn covered in dust. Closest estimate for her nap is somewhere around 12 years or so. I had replaced the starter clutch yesterday...

                Got a chance to break down front master cylinder and calipers for inspection last weekend and all was in great shape. Ordered brake pads and this saturday all mechanical issues should be sorted. I feel a little test ride sneaking up on me !!!!!!
