Fuck yeah! Whats the displacement? What year is it? Yamalube...thats funny. So did you trade then?

tom said...

600...1988....yup, trade.

needs a battery and then who knows what else. Got an extra rack of carbs with it, so I suspect they are fucked up.

yamalube is teh hawt.

forgot to mention, it has a sweet "oakly thermonuclear protection sticker" on the tank. classic.

I'm going to miss the XS...

Just get a pair of the those sweet shades and save yourself the hassle of peeling that sticker off. You have to rock the glasses if your going to rock the sticker you know. Done aaaaaand done.

update...
Just wheeled it out of the garage and hooked it up to the truck via jumper cables. After spinning for about one minute, ZOOOM! Started! I cant fucking believe it! The carbs do seem goofy, but better than my xs carbs. Fresh gas with a little bit-o-seafoam, a new battery and watch out!

psyched!

Well, I got it fired up with another jump (new batt this weekend) and the carbs definitely need a rebuilding. Runs super rough, but man o man, the ergos of that bike are perfect!
