oh its not bad luck it is a 30 year old bike that was run hard and now i am using it as a learning tool/project bike to be honest it was some of the best money i have ever spent i mean the sv just works the cl350 is a tank and i could not break it if i wanted this bike is a smoke making, gas leaking, murdered out, not sure if it will make it back excitement machine ok maybe i am a bit to excited when things go wrong on it, but getting your hand dirty is half the fun of having an old bike
