bought a 1981 csr 1000 after doing a little research, my father had a 1980 Z1 classic all decked in chrome and performance mods. I wanted to bring it to a new generation on a bit of a cheaper budget. I started looking and found this advertised about and hours drive as a csr 1000 13k miles $800.00 in the swapsheet that was it. drove out and like i said budget would not buy the bike if i couldn't get it running.spent two hours trying and had to call it quits. a woman was selling it her husband had passed and she was moving and needed the $. i told her guy friend that if he got it running to call me back and i'd throw him some cash for doing so.( they bought a battery and i came out) he called it was running, i was pumped. i set up the pick up. got there rode it, figured on needing the carbs worked on. Got ready to load it and there on the title it said one lean holding, i was devastated. drove back home again and told her how to go about getting the release, about a week later she called and said it was there made another trip (at this point about$135 in gas) got the bike to discover that there is some sort of charging issue. (i've posted about this and recieved some realy helpful suggestions) I have since replaced bars, plugs, wires, recharged the K&N's it came with, bridgestone spitfires, cleaned the carbs, replaced the RR.my next upgrades are hopefully a V&H 4 into 1 , rejet the carbs, and a gpz style fairing. I want to make this bike a tastefull custom and plan on updating with photos (this pic doesn't have the new bars) P.S. anyone interested in a sweet 2000 rm 125 1600 obo. then i can upgrade the csr
