How's everybody doing?
I'm Mike, new to this forum but a member of others. I'm not new to old Japanese bikes and have done a lot of work on a lot of different bikes. I currently own a '82 CB900F, '86 GSXR1100 and a '97 Suzuki Bandit 1200 but they are in BC. I joined a month or so ago to learn more about the bike I'm working on. It's a '77 750K that I purchased 15 years ago as my first ride. I rode it for 3 years and then left it at my parents place when I moved to BC. It survived sitting in a field for 12 years and one house fire which melted a few thing but nothing serious. I've been working at it for 2 weeks now on a very tight budget. My good friend helped me trailer it and my dads 83 Yamaha XT250 to his shop where I've been hard at work on both machines.
I've been really lucky so far on how things are going with the Honda. Carbs were perfect (drained before I left), tank only has a slight surface rust and I'm waiting on a throttle cable to get it on the road. I adjusted the valves, most were dead on and the cam chain has been tightened. Fed it some gas and it fired up with a few kicks. The engine sounded great through the 4-1 F pipe. Just like I remembered. I used to set off Harley bike alarms with it years ago. I love this machine. I plan on taking it down to the frame at some point but right now I need wheels in Ontario.
Cheers
