hi guys, new to the forums and just came to see if i could get some advice with a bike I recently purchased, it's a 1984 Honda XR100:
[cant post link :/]
the bike has been sitting outside for a while and there's a little rust here and there but nothing much, it's actually in better shape then i thought
Anyways i've torn a couple peices off already, taken off the tank and washed out all the gas/winter treatment, seat, chain gaurd etc.
I've also ordered the manual from a local shop, so hopefully it will come in tommarow
So...what should i do? i'm good with my hands and have worked on many car engines but never bike motors, i have an XR500 as my main bike but never had to take it apart, When I picked it up it did not run as it's been sitting outside for so long, but kicking it it actually sounded like it was close
so to sum things up, whats my list of things to get done/check on my way to get it running again? and any tips/tricks/products that will make my life easier?
all help very much appreciated
