Hi everyone,
New to the site, to the TW, and to biking. The TW has been the one my eye has been on for a dual-sport. That being said, someone locally has an '87 model and selling at $900. Rear lighting, mirrors, and handle bar brake lever are missing. I may be looking at it today. The seller stated it Is not smoking and runs great. They recommended servicing the carb given the age (likely not serviced before?). The odometer shows 2600 miles granted it is functioning properly. It's a clean bike in regards to wear and rust it seems.
CDI talk - not sure if it is a problem causing them to sell. Will I just be looking for misfiring and low power as a symptom?
Otherwise, what do you all suggest I look for to know it is a good one? It could die tomorrow as with any vehicle, yes.
Thanks,
Gary
