Well, I just bought my first "classic" motorcycle, a '71 CB750. I gotta say, it's been a rush, and a headache... My other bike is a CBR929rr, which is a awesome bike to ride, needs little to no maintenance, but lacks that classic appeal of the old school cafe racers.
My technical knowledge of bikes is limited, but I got the tools and the gumption, and a good intuition of mechanics, to work though most problems I encounter. It seems this forum has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw on should I come up against anything I can't work through on my own.
Currently, the bike is having some troubles maintaining a charge; I've got the battery hooked up to a charger right now, and as soon as it's running strong I'm busting out the multimeter and doing a diagnostic of the electrical system. Chances are it's going to come down to a faulty rectifier, but who knows... I'm just praying it's not a partial short somewhere in the wiring system.
Anyway, wish me luck...
Benjamin!
