Hello.
New to the forum, so i'll start there. I've had this bike since 2010. Belonged to a good friend of mine who sold it to me, and a couple months later, was involved in an accident and lost his life. I have developed this bike as a tribute bike, but after spending 7 years with this bike in Japan, and left in the elements without a cover, she is in desperate need of restoration.
Yesterday i pulled the carbs off. They all need a good cleaning and rebuild. I want to pull the engine out and strip the frame / re-paint it. I need new rear shocks and i think the front forks are leaking pretty good. The tires are shot, and the rear turn lights are dry rot. I'm having trouble pulling the airbox, but think i have figured out how to get it out.
I'm used to working on cars, never worked on a bike before. With cars, there is a pretty decent manual with a parts breakdown and lots of youtube videos on disassembly. Does anyone know of a good resource or location for this kind of information for the bike?
