83 V65 newbie questions clutch, handlebars, idiot lights
I am new to this forum, so hi all and thx in advance.
I just bought a 83'V65 magna (5 days ago) it's in decent shape, but i don't like the handlebars, not to mention there just a little tweaked, but my arms feel to close together, i also own a 82 v45 magna, so i swapped bars, this is only temporary though since i am selling the v45. so my question is where do i find a fairly cheap set of bars for the v65 that are more like the v45, i did a little research and saw someone recommended kz100 bars? any thoughts on what would be best?and where to find em?
I fell in love with this bike the minute i saw it, so i didn't test drive it good enuf, i only went a few blocks and back, the front wheel came off the ground in 2nd, and the seller said, "wow it usually just spins", well i took for a longer ride today and it doesn't spin, the clutch slips, so i'm a little disappointed about that. Is there a way to adjust these hydrualic clutches, or do i need new clutch plates??
The carbs were backfiring(or the engine was) I'll try new plugs and see if it helps, those carbs look like a bitch to take off and clean, sounds like a rainy day project, or a winter teardown.
this bike has a digital temp. gauge, which worked once (or at least i thought i saw it, lol maybe not) any ideas on what could cause this not to display properly??
Also the idiot lights are no longer marked, so, being an idiot i don't know whats what, the high beam and nuetral are obvious, but if someone could clue me in to the rest of em that would be great...
Thx for your time
