Yes, Welcome. That is a really nice machine you got yourself there. Sounds like a great price to.

It needs a few things done to it still, forks are blown, grips, levers, wheel spacers, it has some clutch cable issues, the front brake up by the grip is from a Yamaha street bike, not sure if I am getting rear fender just yet, I will have to get soaked a few times at the creek first... It runs real good, I am not sure if it runs to its full potential, I took it from the mountains in AZ and it now lives at my house about 50 feet above sea level, the guy I got it from said he was running 30:1 mix, in the shop manual it is 20:1 it has been so long since I have mixed gas I am not sure...

The factory manual will come in very handy though, Time to tinker....
Talk soon............................G

Alot of people here use 32:1 which i used to use untill recently. I now run 20:1 fully synthetic since I bought a new R from a guy who has never had to rebuild the engine in it and still has full compression, he always used 20:1 so now i use that. But oil ratios around here are like religions.
