Welcome to the site! lots and lots of great info here. enjoy the beast, they're a blast. find a service manual and read up on stuff, you'll find it invaluable. between that and the fine folks on this site, there's nothing you wont be able to fix or find a viable solution for. again, welcom to the family, have a nice dy and ride safe

Yea,a lot of bike sit too long without proper storage prep or even regular maintainance.But once you sort that out you have a good bike.I love PO's
