Morning gents and gentinas.
Name is Max, I'm a new rider. Was gifted a 98 SRAD 750 last year, did my course got my license, and after sorting out some charging issues got her on the road finally this year.
I'm slightly timid riding her being that a 750 is a big bike for a first timer. But I don't think it'll take me long to settle in.
I don't know of any routes or roads that everyone around here rides, so I'm looking forward to tagging along once I'm more comfortable with the power.
The bike was a gift cause it's been dumped before, has 65k on it and needed some tlc. I gave her new plugs, oil/filter and a battery this season, as well as a mosfett r/r last year for the charging issue. I've got water wetter to give it a coolant flush as well, and over the winter intend to give her a rebuild. Being older, with solid kms and being dropped I'm wary about how far she'll go without issue.
Some of the body pieces are barely held together. Half the bolts are replaced and missing washers and grommets, and the seat bolt holes are basically stripped, so it's kinda just sitting there.
All and all she still runs well enough, took her on the expressway for the first time this morning. Definitely need a riding jacket haha.
But I'm excited to be part of the K-W riding scene and check out some shows and swap meets.
I'll post some pictures once I'm home from work.
But here's my official hello!!
Cheers,
Max
