ok guys, need some advice on my wing.......
I have a 94 SE that has just under 34k on it. I'll have the seat off being rebuilt (getting a russel day-long
) and they'll have it for a couple weeks. I'm already planning on pulling the final drive and making sure all the driveline splines are properly lubed, pulling carbs and checking all the vacuum lines, re-working them as necessary.
this leads to my question: if you had an almost 20 year old bike with 34k on it, would you replace the timing belts? The bike's previous owner kept it garaged, so it was pretty much out of the AZ heat for the past several years, and the bike runs pretty well (has a flat spot coming off idle, which I assume is a bad line under the carbs), I'm just concerned about timing belts that old. how big of a job is it to replace them?
thanks in advance,
Happy Holidays!!!
