RUNS GREAT!!! Just went on a 25 miles test drive. I bought this bike on e-bay in 2014 and when I got it , it did not run very well. I took it to my local Honda dealer (Spent 400.00) and it still didn't run very well. Retired from work a couple months ago and with nothing else to do I started working on the bike. Found a loose wire from the right coil, fixed that. Put some Iridium spark plugs in, changed the oil and cleaned the points. Real surprised the Honda dealership didn't figure this out. Put some 105 octane (Yes it had Staybil in it) and WOW!!! Big Smile on my face. Still have some detailing to do. I think that former owner was in a hurry. Gas tank was painted a nice orange but needed to be color sanded, I can do that(Got the time) Some polishing on the chrome and all should be OK. Oil light is on and I don't know why as I changed the oil and filter. Will run it by another Honda dealer to see what can be done to turn it off. Throttle feels stiff but maybe with 4 carbs to work its supposed to be that way or my right wrist is weak from age and old injury so... Anyway one project down many more to go so time to sell her. Any questions e-mail me or I can call you back. Thanks for looking. Just starting out on selling on e-bay and I'm retired so might be a little slow but I will get to whatever questions you have
