Picked this up from a teammate of mine that wanted it out of his yard. All it really needed was a key, battery and a rear tire. It's a 1997 Vt1100 ACE with 14k miles. I changed the bars, added TJs ...

Thanks for responding. I definitely don't have the slide vents blocked. I still have the factory hoses setup on them. The ports I have blocked went to the air box.

@Zach Burton heres a link to all the tuning info you will ever need! t.ly/QXUzY  and yeah, if it sat for years, theres a lot that could be goin on unfortunately.
