Hey hey. Leave me out of this.

I will. I'm going to be gone on business for the next 2 weeks, and its going to kill me to not be able to wrench on it. I was thinking about doing a bench sync, just incase he didn't get that far. But for sure I'm going to set my mixture screws correctly, and test from there.

That is really interesting. The pictures looked good.

The original paint jobs were nice. I bid on one on ebay with the original paint. It got too out of hand. But I will be less worried about messing up the stock paint now. I am really excited, but not as excited as I would have been with the F4i.

Maybe next time eh?

It's in better shape than my 86. But then again, mine has about 70,000KMs.

Oh and the idle may be set low. Mine has been known to vibrate the idle adjuster when idling. Causing the idle to drop and even more vibrations. It's a vicious cycle

BUT you have that awsome stock paint job. Is your windshield taller than the 84??? And what aftermarket exhaust do you have? I hear the exhausts are pretty rare to find.

I think they're about the same height. The picture I posted seems a little deceiving.

Right now it has an old Vance & Hines on it that's held together loosely with old rivets and screws

Sounds pretty wicked though! The suspension is a little Saggy on it now but I still have fun on it once in a while. I actually get it to spin and step out to the side a little sometimes. It's fun as Hell. It's main purpose was to teach my GF to ride and last her a year or two while she builds skill and confidence. So far it's done that job perfectly. She's only dropped it once but you can tell from it's scars that it's no stranger to the pavement.

Have you done any of the top end oiling modifications? The boys over at VFRworld mentioned that there have been instances of oil starvation issues when the bike is at idle, ending in burned cams. Or have you not seen any problems with it yet?

AFAIK that only affected the early 750s(V45s).

Nice baby 'ceptor.
