Hello from Decatur GA!

#1

Post by 75Wingman »

Thanks for adding me to the fold!
I recently picked up a 75. Not a barn find, but has sat in a garage for quite some time. I'm far from a mechanic, but not afraid to turn a wrench with some guidance.
So far: new tires, bled brakes, new oil, plugs, fresh gas and Techron.
I'll jump into the other forums for crucial items to do before I begin riding.

Looking forward to learning all I can about this sexy beast!
