OK, I was on FBM and saw this, should have moved on but I sent an inquiry. Came home with it yesterday, very good price, has a title, and was only about 70 miles away from me in the Blue Ridge mountains. The PO owner, bought it out of Jersey a few years back as non runner, needed a tune up, oil change, and the carbs adjusted, "Don't They All". Nice young fellow who was not at all familiar with any sort of wrench. He carried it to a bike shop in his hometown where it sat untouched for almost a year. Disgusted he brought it back home and tried to get it fired on his own, he finally gave up and it has been sitting every since. I am truly starting with a blank canvas, the only thing I know so far is it has compression and does go through the gears. I did a few Yamaha XS 650's a number of years ago, so I will be trying to reactivate those old brain cells. The seller says he would be very interested in buying the bike back if I get it running, so I already have my first lead. When I went out this morning to take the below shots, I again asked myself why, I believe it is because I like the look of the darn thing. With my size, I would look like a monkey doing a football, so it will be not be a keeper. After all the K's the first week or two will probably be spent looking for the other two cylinders. Wish me luck....
