New TBR7 guy

Hi Everyone,

Just new to motorcycles/motorsports, late in left development. Picked up TBR7, going the cheap route forces me to get my hands dirty tinkering with it. So far <100 miles, set valve lash(wow an improvement) and installed a new Iridium NGK(had to gap it for some reason to feel the improvement).

Just giving a shout out!!!!

Welcome to the club and the life. Kudos to you for setting the lash. After you finish the break in period make sure to check it again (around 500 miles). As you ride it during the break in period it will start to wake up a bit more. Enjoy the ride!

Welcome aboard! Looks like you been lurking around on here. These little bikes are addictive and great to learn a little mechanic work on.
