Well, I'd guess about 80; but 20 of it was reading the Clymer manual forwards and backwards 3 times, and about 30 hours was doing stuff over that I screwed up the first time. Some of it was tricky; those inscrutable Japanese like to change little tiny things every year or two. I spent 2 or 3 days scratching my head with "no spark" issues and "Dead CDI" fears before I found a little little tiny footnote in my Clymer that mentioned "1987-89 motors have a dual-trigger system, 1990 has only one." The pulse rotor on the 1987 motor has 5 "fingers", the 1990 has 8 or 9.

So, yeah. Those little tiny victories are awesome; and the sound once you get it right and know it's gonna work.

I would say the first ride is exciting, but it's a little too nerve-racking to ride and look all over the bike and go through your mental "torque spec" checklist.
