Hi! New B4 owner..

:welcome:

Sorry for not being around much... too much work and kids stuff going on lately!

I see you're in o-town... out of curiosity, where'd you get the bike?  I'm just wondering if it might be a former member's (Todd/Maniac).  That bike was in the midst of some MAJOR performance upgrates (GSXR cams, carbs, Yosh exhaust, USD forks...).  I don't think Todd's mech ever got it running right before all the problems he had with the mech.  The story of the bike is long.  Search for posts started by "Maniac" to find out more.  IIRC, the mech was in o-town.  

Good luck!

Well this particular one came from Hollywood Florida, and I’m pretty sure it wasn't the board members. By the way, thanks to all the input/help guys. But I think after you see these pictures you can tell what the result of everything was.






Oh yes, just got home from a good 2 hour ride. Only thing I have a problem with is getting into neutral. Anyone know of a common problem with that? Not a real big deal, but my hand is going to get super tired.

Oh yeah, thanks again guys!  
:thanks:  :thanks:

I wish I could even pinpoint it, I think it was a combination of the carbs and the older gas that was in it. I’m not really sure. But after it was all back together, after checking everything, it HAD to start. And well, it did! So no matter what it was, I’m glad it's fixed.

Mo ya! That is actually one of the main reasons I got the B4, so i could bring the GTI into the garage and do some major work. But yeah, love the Dub.
