TUNE UP?? LOL!!! it was my 1982 honda atc 200 big red, its gas tank was a milk jug duct taped to the frame, the muffler was from a car but it was strapped on with hose clamps, i bottomed it out and cracked the block, it leaked oil, but it burned more oil then it leaked, it idled at half throttle, it shot 3 foot flames out the manifold rust holes every time you shifted, the axles were bent and the rims were smashed,
the cdi was from my pocked bike, the frame was more jb weld than it was steel,
SO YES! IT NEEDED A TUNE UP!! lol, but that damn thing never let me down, i would be 50kms away from home at 3 am in a -20 80kmh 3 foot deep snow storm and it never left me stranded, you can beat the crap out of a honda, you can abuse it like i did, but you can never NEVER kill a genuine vintage honda,
sigh i loved that bike,
