Congrats on getting your new to you bike. Sounds like you have some maintenance hurdles to overcome but you can do it. Ask questions for help if you need it.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome, good luck with your bike, we're in this together. I have problems
with my 1000f and gas leaking after the winter standstill so I've got
some maintenance ahead of me.

thanks guys, i appreciate the welcome. i've been working on the bike over the memorial day weekend cleaned out the gas tank, the carb, new fuel filter, lubed the cables and then it started to rain. i still have to change the spark plugs, new turn signals and install the HID the previews owner gave me with the bike. it should be running by the end of this week. on a different topic who should i contact about not having access to certain things on the forum?
