Default Small update 99 vt1100c

howdy all, just a little update on my new little girl!!!!!!

long story short i traded a guy my 2003 yz426f for a 99 spirit 1100, (good trade i think) anyways im in the hill country of texas and he was located in San Antonio so it was a good 3 hour drive, the pics he sent me were of a bike that was fully put together, when i showed up it was in a bunch of pieces, no big deal i thought because im kinda handy lol, over the last 2 weeks i have been putting it back together and have gotten loooooooots of good info off here(thanks guys) i got her started and idles pretty good, still some adjustments needed on the carbs but overall going pretty good, will post some pics soon
thanks for all the good info!!!!!

I ride with a guy who has a YZ426F (I ride dirt and street) And that thing is a beast but what a PITA it is to start, If you get the shadow going and in good shape then you did alright. Post some pics up so we can see the new toy.

my yz had a hot cam's in it, it does away with the decomp valve, every time i went to ride mine i would turn the fuel on pump the gas twice and kick it once or twice and she would always pop off. i will post some before and after pics soon, bike has about 7k on it. im waiting on my iso grips and throttle sleve to come in, its about 80% put together,
cant wait to get out and ride,
