Rip Baby Viff....

Zoomie, the only symptom I saw was it was bogging down and not wanting to rev below 4k rpm, and some smoke when it was cold and idling with the choke on. I just attributed that to it being old. And it didn't look like oil smoke....

Jesus, not sure I want to invest that much work or money into a 26 year old bike that has a known track record of frying the cams due to top end oiling problems. And a track record of the motor bombing if you are riding a little too spirited. It may just be time to let her go and get with the times. I have been wanting to buy a sv650 trackbike anyway. People are already salivating for parts over at vfrworld.
