ok so i picked up mike's 88 ex500 this weekend. its been sitting for two years. i haven't pulled it out of the truck yet but i figured id garner some opinions today. this is the description in the ad
some of the other things i noticed was the front brake rotor needs to be replaced and the caliper needs to be rebuilt. not sure if the rear brake works."The bike does not start, when I asked the ex guys they said it was something about the brushes and magnets for the starter that need to be cleaned. When you try to start it you can hear something spinning but that's about it."
here was my to-do list.
1. pull off carbs - clean
2. drain fuel
3. remove key cylinder
any ideas on the key cylinder? i figure i can just rig up a switch for on/off and just have a push button start? just going to be a track bike so no worries about needing a key.
