Introduction

Hello, I am from Central California and just purchased a 1988 V-Max about a week ago. The owner was a bit of an excentric older man and stopped riding the bike due to an oil leak. Apparently, it was a loose drain plug although I haven't confirmed that yet. 455 actual miles. Last registered in 2010.
Gas wasn't drained so lots of work to do! From what I have gleaned, lots of good info on this site. Thank you!

That might have 40 year old original tires. Please post lots of pictures of this low mileage gem.

Those tires look like somebody threw on a new pair of OEM equivalent tires as they look brand new to me. Of course the date code on the tire will tell the truth.
