    Also came with a new swingarm stand

    needed a few things, PO thought he blew up the transmission, turned out the front sprocket mounting nut and washer fell off somehow?

    quick cheap fix, but it needed a carb rebuild, fuel pump, filters, fluids, plugs, battery, carb boots, starter relay, brake reservoirs, fork seals, pads, turn signal relay

    Still needs some plastics and a headlight restoration

    This bike is a monster! Seriously so much fun, supposedly around 97 hp, big difference from my 81 xj550

    however, I just turned over 50k miles on this thing meaning I should probably do a valve adjustment and(?)

    I’ve seen one at 80k miles,

    but im wondering how many miles I can expect out of a well maintained machine?

    My xj550 just passed 6k miles and my virago xv750 is at 11k

    Nice find. I like the key fob.

    I didn't realize you were so young!
