I concur.

Want it out of my garage. Any local peeps here?

Have it on CL for $400 but would take less from a DTT member.

Nope. Selling as-is. Not going to bother parting it out.

Still available

Local pickup only 10 minutes south of Cleveland. Bike is mostly complete minus headlight, gauges and side covers. Tank is in great shape inside and out. Has some sort of aftermarket seat. I have no clue where it's from. Motor has good compression. No title, though you could easily get it...

Overreact much?

Meh, at this point it doesn't matter.

I think I need a modern bike for my overall sanity.

You can get those brand new for the exact same price. Why would someone buy them from you?

I'm not really digging the Versys.

After taking some breaths and not touching the bike for a few days I've decided to go ahead and buy a brand new bike. I feel that way I can go back to enjoying wrenching and not feeling like I'm fighting the clock trying to get it perfect so I can get out riding RIGHT NOW. I was looking at a...

Yeah, maybe I should have gone that route. At this point I just hate all bikes and am done.

Nah, I didn't shim the needles. I saw people saying you could but then I also saw people saying it makes things worse. My frustration has reached it's limit. I just don't think vintage motorcycles, or even motorcycles in general, are for me.

Set the float height to 26mm per spec. Took it for a ride this morning. It was idling sporadically between 1200 and 1700. I took it down the street and it would bog slightly around 4k but then was fine. Took it to the bank about a half mile away and it rode ok, though was starting to bog around...

I'm running a #115 secondary main. Think that's too large? Stock is #105.

Thanks for the encouragement. I just get frustrated and after a while get fed up with it. Trying to remain positive in just want to ride and not worry about things. Maybe I should get a modern bike so when things go south on my old bikes I at least have something that's pretty reliable. Yeah...

A couple raps on the side of the bowl finally unstuck the float bowl. Now I'm charging the bike since I left it on accidentally while fixing the float height. Ugh!

I adjusted the float height to 26mm, which is spec for my carb, and it's still leaking like crazy out of the left overflow tube and the bowl itself. I gave it a couple hard hits to see if maybe it was a stuck float but no dice. I'm not even sure where to go from this point.
