the early t-birds had starter sprag issues (a very expensive repair ) make sure any bike you buy has had this addressed .

the early bikes also had mikuni carbs which had a problem with needle wear . a not so expensive repair as long as you can do it yourself . the keihin's on the later bikes are in many's opinion a better carb .


read the known issues stickey at the top of this forum
