Hey all,
I just purchased this beauty a few days ago and don't even have it home yet. I found this site and have been reading a lot. Thought I'd post a thread to see what maybe I should expect ahead of me.
1. Does not run currently, it did when put away 6 years ago (supposedly)
2. Complete for the most part just a few cosmetics.
3. Tank is clean and most of the lines look okay.
4. Transmission shifts at least between first neutral and 2nd just fine.
I'm going to do pretty much a full teardown but I've never done it before as this is also my first real bike. I have the basic mechanical skills, room, and time to take it on. I'm just looking for some advice to get me started or what to expect. Thanks on advanced!
