Thanks alot! I will call him and get some stuff orders. I will check the level on the rear fluid. I sure would like to ride this thing!

Thanks for the reposnses guys, sorry I haven't updated. I just got back home, and took the bike for a short ride. Overheating is a non issue, I will purchase the progressive springs and stainless brake lines, while riding, it appears my rear caliper or master cylinder stuck! I smelled brakes, pulled over and had to open the rear bleeder to release the pressure and ride home with just the front brake. I think an entire brake rebuild is in order. The battery blinking warning light is still on, there is a green wire that is plugged into the top of the battery and appears to be in working order. Does anyone have a link or phn# for,the guy that sells the brake line kits and progressive springs? Thanks guys!

Thanks for all of the info guys, the heating prob is the gauge gets very close to the top, the fan does turn on, the system was flushed out about 8mo ago, carbs are fresh and mercury sync, it has been sitting for 4 years since the last time it was riden, prob 8 years sitting prior. The bike is immaculate, I'll try to get some pics on here. Its from the original owner, has all the tools, chainlock, cover, and original rainsuits in their bags, as well as original owners manual. I just want it to be right before I take it on a ride. I have seen a few posts about 12w or heavier oil in the forks, I can bottom them pretty easy with 21lbs air and anti dives at 3.

hI guys, just picked up an 83 vr with 24k, I need to repair a couple things. It over-heats on a short ride, the brakes are super spongey and weak, the warning light blinks with the battery indicator on. Thanks for any help!
