Brian Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Just wanted to say thanks to the forum, for providing me the level of detail I needed to get my Bird back up and running. bought her as a non runner, with the ebay seller telling me it had been dropped static, and on restart, the throttle stuck open long story short, i found the rh bar slightly bent preventing the throttle closing, I also found a level of strip under the tank, and used the forum info to reconnect the fuel and vacuum lines successfully. she ran up perfik last night, albeit I had changed the plugs and air filter while i was under the tank Oil change next! Bird is the word!! 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampNut Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Believe it or not, this is a factory special edition, with a certificate of authenticity signed by MV's CEO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhawk996 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 If you were riding a wheelie past a cop on that MV I wonder if he'd give chase or just look away and pretend he didn't see it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
