Hello, I just picked up an 81 650 special last night, and I love it already, plan to go through the basics and ride it this summer, maybe some minor cafe mods, and on to a more serious cafe style build this winter. The po installed the current seat setup and looks like he cleaned the bike up some. I had some high idle issues this morning but I fixed that with proper spark plugs. Going to retorque heads as I have a small oil leak, also new tires.
