I just got a 83 honda shadow 500 that I traded a non running 400ex for. It runs decent but smokes. I checked the cylinder pressure and both read 800 so I think the valves are leaking. Its been sitting for about 6 years.
Welcome to the board. smoke could mean many things. how do the plugs look? incase you haven't noticed yet it has 4 plugs. do you have a repair manual? are you losing much oil? if it is a small leak may not be worth fixing. how is the rest of the bike? 6 year old tires are a problem.
