i just drove 700miles round trip and picked up a 1984 honda V65 Saber with 28,000 miles on it for $1200. came with new plugs installed, new tires and battery.
iit was a deal from a friend of a friend or a relative. bike has been sitting for about 1 1/2 years without ever being driven.
owner was injured in a non motorcycle accident and can't ride anymore.
the bike starts and idles just fine without any valve train clatter. the instant you give it gas it dies. you can choke it and try to rev it up and still dies instantly. sprayed carb cleaner on the carb rubber joints and idle is inchanged.
owner thought the carbs need cleaning. after researching these bikes have fuel line issues. IMO if the carbs were the problem the choke should help the rev prob some.

anyways what is a good forum like moparts for these bikes?
