Hi everyone!
Proud owner of a 94 vs800 here with 17k miles. I used to lurk the purple site for quite some time. Unfortunately life happened and she sat for 3 years (aside from gas treatment and oil changes) almost untouched.
Things have settled down so now I have time to tinker around, but the bike is in pretty rough shape now. So I'm gonna need all the help I can get without taking it to the dealer.
Wish me luck!!

Re: New rider from upstate ny
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I love wrenching on the bike and slowly getting a collection of tools to go along with the consistent projects that keep popping up.
Navigator, where in the upstate area are you located? I'm in northern Saratoga springs area.
I'll be posting plenty of questions on the board soon
