[QUOTE="philc, post: 50300, member: 1632"] Thanks for all the info, as it turned out, the bike is an 82 rather than 83. Ive owned it since last Sept and flushed all the fluids the first week I owned it prior to running it down to Yosemite and back. The bike was happy to cruise along the freeway and I had no issues except mpg. As Fall of 2011 wore on the bike got harder and harder to start and warm up, lots of smoke etc. So I decided to pull the carbs out and take a look and found that they needed attention badly. At this point I figured the Wing was going to be down all winter so I crazily went out and bought a new KLR 650, my second KLR and I love it, got to ride in snow more than once this winter, sadistic fun. Im still cleaning inside and out of the carbs 3 months later! granted I dont work on it but once a week, there are a lot of parts in that carb rack and I dont want to rush it. While waiting for carb parts, and more DAYLIGHT! to work by, I decided to pull the forks and repack the head bearings as well as install Galfer steel braided lines, lots of time in a dark, damp garage but I think I rounded a corner last weekend and getting eager to start it up in a couple more weeks, re installing the carbs could take some time.
