neversaydie Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 As above, you need to get the motor running before spending any money/time on it. Carbs cleaned, new air filter, fresh fuel, and I guess the battery will be shagged by now too. Make sure theres oil in the motor before you try to turn it over, ooh, and clean the plugs. That should keep you busy. If it fires up, dont ride it until youre sure the tyres arent gooing to blow, give them a real good look over. And check the brakes work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Alex Posted August 21, 2018 Admin Share Posted August 21, 2018 Yeah make sure it's running first, change the oil and make sure you change the break fluid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
