What else should I check/do before I turn this thing over (needs a battery also) other than air, fuel, ignition and cooling. This is my first bike.
I hear you can get a three part tank cleaning fluid... you put the first part in and swish it around for awhile and it cleans it... then the same with the etching fluid... then again with the anticorrosion coat... It sounds bloody tedious if you ask me... I'll probably be looking into that soon.
