    Welcome from Green Bay WI!


    nice score on the yics tool - makes one to believe that the po's had some sort of sense for maintenance.


    one can hope at least, lol

    Be sure to get the valves in spec and get it SAFE before risking your life on it, check the tires for age and wear, toss anything over 5 years.

    check the front brake line brake codes, the originals were only meant to last 4 years, and odds are nobody touched them

    check the rear brake pads for delamination, the pads tend to separate from the carrier and jamb in the drum, causing the rear wheel to lock up. clearly dangerous.

    Other than that, stick around and learn a thing or two! anything you could ever possibly need to know is available to find out on this site, so have fun and learn lots!!
