1st ride ever
12 Jun 2018 09:41
After 26 years in my garage, I had a local shop get my 76 running, plus replace or repair everything on the bike. Eight months later, I'm on the road last Saturday.

SO DIFFERENT from my 08 FZ1. The 76 pulls like a train, while the Yamaha hits the 130HP at 7k and up on the Tach. Plus EVERYTHING on the FZ1 works. LOL!
My shop said, "With 93,400 on her, ride it all Summer, then in the Winter decide if we make it a 1015, with a complete Top End refresh. #4 cylinder has 80psi of compression, while the other three have 120psi." They said the #4 exhaust have looks burnt.
