I bought one of these when I was stationed in Japan in 1983 (American version) and absolutely loved riding it all over Japan! It is still my favorite bike of all the ones I've owned. The thing that I loved the most about it was the lack of vibration due to the 90 degree V4 design. I wish I had kept it!!!!

Thanks for watching. They are great bikes and I’ve enjoyed building this one and bringing it back to life. Not sure if I’ll be keeping it or not. I have a few other projects to work on.

Good video, I’m just rebuilding the petcock on mine. Did you have to totally drill the rivets out, and if so, did the replacement screws self tap ok ? I’m sure the straws inside are unfiltered, I can’t see anyway they have any mesh over them otherwise. Odd design really, but 80s bikes I guess ? Thanks for the upload, I’m totally rebuilding the engine on mine at the moment, and need to completely repaint the bike, and have cleaned the tank out, so much to do it’s a mess of a bike, which is a shame, but I’m getting there. Appreciate anything you can offer as tips. Thanks Rich 🇬🇧

Hi Rich, Thanks for watching. It’s been awhile since I did it but yes I’m sure I had to drill the rivet heads off the drill the holes for the self tapping screws. Mine didn’t have any filters either so I put in an inline filter before the carbs. Good luck on your rebuild. Thanks David

@@dschloe I put an endoscope into the tank, it’s just wire mesh covers, so I imagine they do nothing at all.
