It's been twenty some years since I last had a bike so I was a bit shaky (a lot shaky) at first. Now I'm starting to relax into it a bit and get the old confidence back. It feels good. This is the first time I have actually worked on a bike and I'm enjoying it. I found the idle adjustment screw and now the bike idles correctly. The new injectors coupled with the advice to keep the motor wound out has smoothed out the riding experience. Thanks for the help, Flutemanjohn

It was 35 years between the time that my '75 RD350 was totaled and when I purchased another one exactlly like it - no riding between.
It is amazing how quickly everything came back.
a few years later I jumped on a good deal for an '85 K100, and rode it home - and I had never ridden anything that heavy! (Heaviest bike I ever rode was a'73 Honda SL350 when I wighed ~ 150 lbs...)
Since I'm now ~250 lbs it was no problem and I had a blast.
Glad to hear you are back in the saddle and hopefully enjoying it as much as I am!

I was missing the sense of adventure and now it's back. Flutemanjohn
