Looks like it is running a bit rich according to plugs. Rode it around the block a few times. Could still use a bit of tuning, but does run. Will also include original turn signals (rears broken, but fronts good) and a helmet if interested. Like I said, i just don't want to tear into it again and agian anymore. the bike is fun for sure, but it is time to let it go.

John Honda Interceptor Board - Seems to randomly die at higher revs http://www.vtr250.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1336809127/21#21 VTR250/Honda Interceptor Board http://www.vtr250.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1336809127/21#21 Fri, 18 May 2012 21:26:11 +0000 Hey everyone, Stripped the forks down today, find it super easy and didn't have a problem with anything (including the bottom drain bolt, which easily screwed out). I don't think there has been something this simple on the bike rebuild yet, no broken bolts or rusted screws. I measured the length of the large spring in the forks and it was 436mm, definitely NOT the standard length as given in the manual of 426mm. I really doubt a previous owner put longer springs in, so anyone know why this would happen?
