There it is. I had that bike when I was 13 years old. Brand new from the crate... There is a lot of people on that road, dang!!!! I had a lot more freedom and raced it around in the desert of Nevada.

Jealous!

13! Bro, you must have been a bear of a 13 yr old. My first real bike was a 79’ Yamaha IT175F and that was a lot of bike for me at 13. I’m hot on the trail of an 87’right now, I can’t wait to get it home. ✌️🇺🇸

✌ from France !

[@jeffvw1994]

Just picked up the same bike for $300, it's that much of a project.

[@edwards0matic]

Nice! They're quite simple to work on luckily, good luck with it.

[@papimiami1938]

How's the project going ? I'm in northern Michigan I just brought one by all the way back from Wyoming. And it's a substantial project also... Carbs and electrical seems to be a thing and every bike this old. And I have my work cut out with for me with this one I bought

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@papimiami1938 did you get some Clymer and Hanes service manuals for it and dig in ? I hope so, I’m chasing one right now and if I get it I’ll never let it go, I’ve had too many bikes I sold and regret the shit out of every one now.

[@papimiami1938]

@@deborahchesser7375 yeah ... I actually found a factory service manual on eBay ... Been a bit of an expensive challenge but I've about got it ... Tuning it especially

She needs fattened up a little, beautiful bike 👍🇺🇸

[@edwards0matic]

Cheers! Its fat enough for the dirt 🐖

@@edwards0matic beautiful bike, I’m looking at one myself. It’s a lot of bike off road. Thanks again for sharing

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@edwards0matic what I meant was, open the pilot screw on the carburetor to 2 1/2 turns out if it’s not already, it will run better and cooler.

[@edwards0matic]

@@deborahchesser7375 Oh I see .. the bike was actually running very slightly rich so it ran pretty cool already. It ran fine so didn't feel any need to mess with it. That's good info to know for the future though, thanks!
