My 21 has been out of commission for about five years, since it seized big time while a buddy was riding it. Started fiddling with it two winters ago, tore it all apart in my garage for no good reason at all. Fitted a 28 swingarm, put it all back together, and then was afraid to try to start it. Didn't want it to NOT run, because at that point I would've taken it into the back yard and lit it on fire.
Decided to actually try it a couple of weeks ago, and it ran but not well. Got the jetting sorted out (up on main jets, got rid of the airbox lid), or at least I hoped so. Decided that this morning was the "do or die", so headed out for about a 30 mile ride through back roads and towns. Ran like a champ. Awesome. Now I'll clean it up, maybe get it painted, sort out the suspension, etc.
Great, another money pit bike. But man, does it put a smile on my face. And get this, I didn't see another one like it all morning!
Thanks to all on this site/ forum, from which I've found so much information and motivation. Keep it up, ya'll.
