I'm thinking, chop the pipes to the headers, put fur all over it, lower it to .5 inches above the ground, and stretch the swingarm out about 3ft. Yes. That sounds delicious!

Yup. 750cc V4. Almost the same motor as the VFR and like the VFR, it was derrived from their race motor.

I learned to ride on a Magna. They are nice bikes. Long throw from first to 2nd gear, if I remember correctly.

Maybe the older ones. The 750's 1-2nd could actually be a bit larger. They're really close together. but what do I care? This thing revs to 10 g's! It could use a 6th gear though. Oh, well. For 3700 bones, I ain't complainin!

Oh, and I asked my buddy how much the dealership charged to sync up his carbs on his 2004 599: over 500 bucks!!! Screw that. I know a guy with gauges. I'll do it my DAMN self.

Good move, fuck the dealership

[Audiomechanic]

No doubt. The stock pipes were gutted to make the bike louder, but I don't think the carbs were ever adjusted to make up for the loss in back pressure. I'm going to try stepping up the main jet to a 105 and shimming the needle 1-2 clicks and see what that does.

What year is that beast?

[Audiomechanic]

2000. Bought it with just over 6000 miles on it. That's not a lot of miles for an 8 year old bike. I'm also thinkin the carbs might be dirty. Gonna run Sea Foam through a few tanks and see what that does. Based on how dirty the chain was, I'd guess that the only thing this bike ever had in the way of maintenance was an oil chane every now and then. Other than that, it just had gas put in it.

My guess anyway.
