    A friends finance's aunt gave me this Yamaha xj750 that was sitting in her garage for dang near 10 years. I was so excited when memorial day weekend came around since it finally gave me some time away from cadet class to get the bike started (I've been meaning to since April!). Anyhow she sure did give me some trouble and needs more than a few things done to her (some serious carb syncing and tuning for one) but she actually started! I even got to annoy the neighbors and ride her around right quick. Alright well I'm running on so I'll just get to the video already.

    Wow sounded like it was running good in the video.

    Have fun and ride hard.

    Remember to try seafoam. the stuff works great.

    Good on you Shadi! Get her cleaned up and tweaked in. She needs you to blow the dust off the valve covers and put some miles on her.

    What exhaust are you running on your bike. It has a nice sound. I have stock pipes and it whines a little too much for my taste.

    Does anyone know what exhaust Shadi is running? Or what exhaust would give a similar sound?
