Jump it? Heck, it's got a kickstarter. As I remember, the F model was sporty and the K model was for touring. Looks like everything is there, so that should be fun. I recommend Metzeler Lasertec tires, Ferodo or EBC pads, Dyna ignition (coils and S ignition), copper spark plug wires, and Works Performance shocks and fork springs.

It's a dual twin because

A: It's a twin (you knew that)
and
B: It's a dual rotary valve.

I'd like to thank Walneck's for my mildly impressive ability to remember odd shit about bikes that almost never existed.

You have never worked on a farm then.

You'll needa new battery and GOOD carb cleaning first. hope you enjoy torment, the 550K and F airboxes are exactly that.

I have a 750K that sat for 25 years. fresh oil change and it fired right on up once I changed the shitbox champion plugs for NGK ones.

Kickers are AWESOME on these old bikes. I used mine much more thhan the electric start.

would still require a battery or other form of current to run would it not? the dave plan bypasses all potential failures in the charging system for a proof of operation

Not necessarily.

Charging system yes, battery no.

:lol:

I now remember a 4am truck stop conversation over root beer and that was mentioned as one of the possible reasons for the name. It was a looong trip.
