Cagiva T4

A friend dropped off this cool Italian enduro bike that he found on Craigslist. Cagiva makes great bikes for the rest of the world but sadly they were never 'officially' sold in the USA.

This bike is an '87 T4 500, 4-stroke street legal enduro. A very well built bike , this one was in pretty good condition but had been tinkered with by someone with little mechanical knowledge. They had connected the right side fuel valve straight into one of the overflow vents on the carb!! I was surprised it ran at all, super rich and pissing gas all over the show... :)

I was surprised to see a positive ground electrical system, rare indeed ! Starter solenoid was fried so it had been disconnected. I had a nice used one in stock so I got her going on the E-start, much nicer than kicking over a high compression thumper!!( single cylinder bike )

Once the electric and fuel issues were sorted it got the standard Hyde Park Scooters treatment. New spark plug and air filter, tune the carb and wheelie down the block!!!
