Does it hurt the bike

@@brothscout864 not yet... Still runs like a champ

I have a 600 and I'm a bit worried about jumping to a 1000 will this bike be more manageable than a modern day liter bike

@@Marko-bh3plI hopped on one of these after a 250 dirtbike and I never had an issue

Make sure you take the stock timing chain tensioner out and put in a manual bike won't make it past 30,000 miles if you don't promise you I learned the hard way wish somebody would have told me this ua-cam.com/video/NeI70izGP3M/v-deo.htmlsi=wPhER4smNons-Zr4

what are the benefits of a fork brace?

No, the bike doesn't vibrate unless the carb synch is way out, then it vibrates a little at 4500rpm

@@BearsTrains I found vibration to be noticeable throughout the rev range,although the problem did become more acute at higher rpm.

@@darkknight1340 There must be something wrong as mine is smooth as silk. I have seen some CF cans fail but they were after 60-70,000 kms on Australian roads. I have CF Jardines on my bike and they are still ok after 80,000km. My BMW R1100S vibrates a lot more than the VTR. Of course, my VTR is black which is the fastest color which may have something to do with it 😁. They DO vibrate a lot under 3000 and I believe this is the cause of the ACCT failures (people ride them like a Harley and lug the engine but is just a theory). I never ride under 3k and I replaced the ACCTS with Kreigers at 83000, more due to peer pressure than anything else. I have met riders who say they have a vibration even though the carbs were synched but it turned out in every case that they (or their mechanic) set the the carbs to exactly the same reading (which you would expect to be correct) but the rear cylinder has to be higher by 20mm/Hg or something. Been a few years since I did it.

oh you bought it? Im looking for my first superbike, nothing fancy lol.

@@caliael3346 nope! I have the same one CX this bike is INCREDIBLE, was my second bike easy to learn, fast, all around phenomenal.

@@uboiyy1031 oh great I only had atv on the past lol, this would be my first Superbike. Oh is it on parts?

@@caliael3346 parts everywhere even spare Motors for cheap. I just put a jet kit on mine and ohhh boy the added performance is crazy!

Thanks! It was customized by the original selling dealer back in '77 or so. The gold leaf detailing was really nice!

Good point! I do remember that annoying sound from my old 85 Stang now that you mention it! Couldn't tell you why this one didn't do it though. Very original car though-minus the odd roof paint. Car now lives in SF.

Hey Jorge, the king and queen seat came with the bike when I got it but it was installed back in '77 or so when originally customized by the selling dealer, Bartels HD in Marina del Rey.

Jeez looks like someone shit the bed when they woke up, the point is to listen to the sound of the engine not brag about how good their starter is

Hey Randlee thanks for your super positive and uplifting words! I'm not really sure what would satisfy you here. Possibly a cold kick start? The bike doesn't have one clearly. Or did you want a hot start with me pointing an infrared thermometer at the cylinders? What I do know about bikes (clearly less than you) is that when someone comes to buy them (and they always do) they want the bike to start and run and that's what this video is intended to show. Now go for a ride and blow off some steam good sir!

sad insecure little man

Yeah it's my first effort lol. It was $80 and it's waterproof, and you can watch the live feed from your phone. But you get what you pay for!

Sure did!

@@automoto8060 Well, congrats. I'll have to find another one then.

@@robertbeltrami yup they aren't easy to find. Are you in SoCal?

@@automoto8060 I'm up by Sacramento. I was going to contact you today, see if I could fly down and work something out. If you have a lead or know of one for sale, let me know. I'll keep an eye on CL and search forums til I find another one.

@@robertbeltrami try 406 Garage in Bend, OR. They always have something rad in stock at reasonable prices.
