    That is why the bike sounds more meaty. So nothing wrong with that machine. It is good to go. And when you go through those gears you will have a great smile on your face. Its a great bike and will only get better with age. And those seven hundred well seven nineties are as close to the old t140's as you will get. Joe.

    I still have lots to do, but the list is shrinking. I want to get a new chain and sprocket, even though mine is now cleaned, adjusted, and lubed. I need tires, mirrors (probably bar end style), and I need to finish detailing the chrome and rims. I've gone through the brakes, changed the brake fluid, put a new headlight bulb in (Silverstars.) I still need to check the valve clearance, but it should be fine. I also will probably have the fork fluid flushed, as it is over 20 years old. And lastly, I need to fix my OOOpps on the gas tank at a body shop.
