Soooo... got a guy at work looking for a run around bike.
I mentioned i had this 1980. I hadn’t really done anything with it since i got it from a friend that passed away a few months back. Before he went, we put in new rings and valve seals, and i ocianed the carbs to get them more adjustable.
So fore the last few weeks i have. Adjusted the clutch, new brake shoes in the rear , new pads up front, new-ish 11mm master cylinder, new air filters, cleaned out the carbs, fuel filter, adjusted the floats. Fresh oil, cleaned the seives.
The compression iis a little low on the left, and it kept fouling out, so i put a 6 plug in it. Seems happy this way. So ill leave it in, and tell the new owner the details on that. Over all, rhis bike is in pretty good shape. Swingarm felt solid when i had the rear wheel off. Bushing may be ok. The front was bouncy, so I drained the forks and added 8 oz of 15wt. Rode great after that. Brakes are a little grabby, but once they bed in, should be smooth.
Anything else i might want to adj before i let it go?
