What do you do to a used bike you just bought?

Greetings everyone.

I am the proud new owner of a 1998 Kawasaki KX 125. It's my new baby.

Well, being the anal guy that I am, I want this thing to be in tip top shape.

I do all my own work, and feel I can tackle any job on a 2-stroke with my trusty service manual....the only problem I forsee having is not having a special tool to do something.

So my main plan over the next few days are to do the following.

1. Clean Carb
2. Clean Air filter
3. Fix leaking fork seal
4. Check all bolts.
5. Adjust clutch
6. Check throttle, brake, clutch cables and grease
7. Change tranny oil, radiator coolant, brake fluid (my brakes aren't working the best), and front fork oil. Rear shock also.
8. Replace spark plug

Today I tore the carb apart and cleaned it up real good, and cleaned and oiled the air filter. I also need to give the carb a good whack on the side to get it to stop peeing out of the overflow. Hopefully that cures that and I won't have to take the carb back apart.

I forgot to put the cage thing back inside the airfilter....gotta fix that boo boo...and I have to try to fix the carb peeing problem.

I'm going to try the photo negative trick on the fork oil.

Are there any other things you would do to a used bike you had just purchased? The bike runs awesome, so I don't think a top end is in order yet. I just want to know that it has all new fluids in it, and is in good working order.

Thanks everyone.
