Returning inmate
Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2020 4:50 am
Greetings all and happy holidays, glad to find the group? I used to be an Intruder owner (’86 VS700) and a user of the old board. Imagine my surprise when I finally obtain another (’95 VS1400) and head over to celebrate and find some home security flunky squatting on our old url. Anyway, I got a new [to me] Intruder, and thought I’d come see if there are still garage wonks willing to opine on my attempts at improving, adjusting, or repairing along the way. Customary to introduce oneself, so here I is:
I live near Portland, OR and I’ve been riding since 2008 when I bought the aforementioned Intruder 700. In ’14 I traded it in on a 2000 ZRX which I still ride and also in the stable we brought on an ’05 V-Strom a couple years ago, cause the Z-rex don’t like gravel. In 2015 I became an instructor for Team Oregon, which continues to be one of the most satisfying uses of time I’ve ever found.
The new ride is in shocking good nick. Just a small dent in the tank (traditional), a bit of a backfire issue, and the throttle cable seems tight, but I'll be trying to address the actual questions over in Technical where they belong. I look forward to reading about your rides and projects.
Pic to see if I can work out this direct link business:
