this forum is just great! thanks guys!!!
« on: January 11, 2012, 07:42:31 PM »
I have bounced on few different sites for classic bikes and haven't found a fraction of the info I found here. Everyone is very helpful, kind, strong minded and just down to earth with great informative information. Ive been riding high performance bikes track wise for two years now. Im a guy that can ride great but is about a 4 out of 10 doing stuff solo amd working on bikes. I have now gotten better. Learning every day more and more.  Things take time, everything takes time, I learn from many mistakes but my mistakes will replace my children's mistakes in the long future. I may ask stupid questions but I hope most will understand that I just want to make sure its correct.  Two months ago I drove off and purchased my first 550 and now never realized the complexity , the hard work, the money, the TIME, the upsets, the anger, and the smiles I have gotten from this big first project I'm in. It's work....... My girlfriend knows I love my trackbike and racing around like a nutbag but now sees a differnt motivation in me that drives my project like I've myself never thought would. So ill end this up...thanks for all your help and any future info given. Everything is stored in a blackbox that's important. If I make mistakes or I'm wrong I ask please shut me up and correct me immediately. These older bikes are a new world for me and i hope after this build I will do many more...I love restoring bikes now. Odd coming that a kid from Costa Rica would wanna do this...lol..but they like there bikes down there as well.    ;) thanks guys* awesome site.

I havent ...I think few weeks ago I punched in Google search free manual and got that page. I tried to dl but something didn't work out. I think wait ...I was confused on which one to dl ..there was a page full. All sorts of different ones. I think I dl one and didn't work on my EVO . I'll skim again and see what should work. I want a good technical one. Which one should I dl ??? I decided not to het the manual because I'm pretty good with taking apart and putting back ..just need a manual that is more in depth and will explain " names of parts" instead of me saying the bolt next to the socket on the swingarm..lol.
