[QUOTE="BJH, post: 851455, member: 48312"] 1st- Pull the carb and spray it clean. Then drain the bowl. 2nd- Pull the reed cage and make sure the reeds haven't gone brittle or made a home for mud-dobbers, etc. 3rd- check the air box for critter furniture, and oil the air filter (or replace it) 4th- Change the tranny oil. If you find water...punt 5th- Pull the plug out. Drop in about a tablesponn of pre-mix, then spin the motor around 5 or 6 times by hand. (This will help to make sure the rings don't get damaged and also sling some fresh oil on the clutch friction plates. 6th- Change the brake fluid and lube the cables. 7th- Check lubrication points. Neck, swing-arm, etc. 8th- Let it sit for a couple of hours. Put a fresh plug in and fire it up. At this point I would be gentle with it in the beginning just like you would if you were breaking in a fresh rebuild. Then if everything pans out ok ride the piss out of it. :cool: [/QUOTE]
