I recently traded an ATV for a 95 Aspy with 10,551 miles on the odometer. As some of you may have read in other posts of mine, the bike was parked 6 years ago with 1.5 gallons of stale, foul fuel in it. I pretty much only had to pump up the tires, suck out all of the old fuel, add new, add half a can of the blessed Sea Foam and install a new battery. Twenty seconds of cranking and it started right up. I ran the Sea Foam through about two or three tanks of fuel and now the bike seems to perform like a new machine. Here is where I need the assistance. I fully understand that when I come to a great forum like this one that I'm bound to read a ton of posts from guys that are having problems but yet I consider myself very lucky that with that garbage fuel in the tank and carbs that I'm pretty damn lucky it started at all. I guess what I'm looking for is links or information on any known problems that this model had in that model year. I think I read something about a frame problem in an earlier model and that's the kind of stuff I'm looking for. I'm very mechanically inclined and have done all work on my vehicles that I was capable of doing and in reading this forum, there is a ton of information and more importantly, GREAT MEMBERS that are willing to share their knowledge of the machine and if it were not for that, I probably would consider selling it for a newer machine but from what I've read, many of you ride older Wings and that keeps me positive about owning an older Wing. Don't get me wrong though, I realize that a 95 is from what I've read here not an "Old Wing". There's endless quality information available using the search feature of this site and I will do so rather than posting just for the sake of posting but I could use some insider information from 95 Aspy owners on what to be ready for and how to make this dream ride last longer than I probably will.
Any and all information and shared wisdom will be greatly appreciated. This is an incredible website for Wing owners and it's obviously ran and supported by some very kind riders and I look forward to getting to know you all.
With Great Respect,
Ed
