I picked up a 1993 F2, I got it for $50 having to tow it home. It sat for a week and then I flushed the radiator, new battery, changed oil, put in a new air filter, changed the plugs, the carb was cleaned and checked by a good friend of mine and ordered a new kick stand. The thing has been running ever since, I have not road a bike in many years so I went through the MSF class last week and have now put 837 miles on it. I know the petcock needs replaced along with new brake pads and possibly the rectifier since I’m having issues with the battery keeping a charge. So far the engine has run like a champ after getting a couple tanks through it and the bike handles great, I’m going ride it for a month and if nothing major comes up I’ll have it raised and work on getting a new/complete fairing kit. I was happy to come across this bike and this forum, I forgot how much I loved to ride.

Can't beat that kind of deal. And your time fixing is free when it's for yourself. I too took a few years away from riding. And since been back in the saddle, lovin every minute of it!! |
