Bike actually has original tires on it!
In pretty amazing shape but it's been sitting for 4 years or so.
Gas tank looks fantastic but obviously the gas has to go.
Carb linkage is really stiff, carbs 1 & 2 need to have their butterflies manually closed so they're coming off.
Holy crap they put a lot of smog stuff on these! I have a 49 state '96 YZF 600 (actually a Bimota YB9SR) and a '91 F2 and they're so simple!

sweet bike!
welcome. if you have any questions feel free in firing away.
i would look into replacing the tires. they do have a shelf life and have long since expired. Having a blow out on two wheels is much worse than 4 wheels.

Thanks man! Yeah, new Bridgestone S23's sitting here waiting.
Ordered new front brake pads and braided steel lines front and rear too.
Carb 1 linkage was really gummy, All four pilot jets blocked, otherwise things look pretty good.

I would like to know how if there's a trick to getting to the intake manifold clamps.
That wasn't fun. Putting getting them back on looks like even less fun.
