I got it roadworthy today. Will get Title transferred tomorrow, tags and insurance. I'm debating selling the Ninja 300 and transferring the tags to the GS500E but I can get a refund on the tag on the Ninja so I think I will just have tags on both for a short time.
The PO used Seafoam in the fuel which possibly saved me from having to tear the carbs apart and cleaning them. At first it did not idle or run smooth, but I rode it around my neighborhood, rapidly accelerating then using engine drag to decelerate in low gears which creates a lot of suction on the fuel delivery passageways in the carbs. The choke cable is frozen so I need to get that fixed so it will work properly when it gets cold this fall. Adjusted the chain to max specs, I like to not get the chain too tight. On a couple of those accelerations I could feel the front end getting light, probably close to pulling a wheelie!
regards
Mech
