Default well preserved bike, needs some tlc,

I bougt this bike without seeing if for real, only smal pictures in the ad. the po said on the phone it was a nice bike. i went looking, to find damage you need a magnifying glass. tires where from 2002, it didnt fired up he said. he used it for only 2000 miles in 12 years. i stole it like it was for the price of a cellphone...... @ home it started pretty easy, the guy was forgotten to use the choke and put the petcock on reserve. it just needs a set of new tires, en petcock rebuild, and some carb clean. all tools are still present. all decals under the seat still ok. forks not leaking , i changed the oil . gave it a carbsync witch was verry needed. and new plugs and tires. sounds like a new bike when idling. it just sometimes , but not always hesitates at 6500 rpm and sometimes it wont go further than 9000 rpm but also not always, it needs carbclean , but i try to avoid that because i know that i will need new carb boots ans gaskets , i will drive it like it runs now, it might go away with a few fresh tanks and some carbcleaner. the hesitation might be some dirt inside the carb. cosmeticaly it has no cracks, no dents , no scratches, a litlle rust on the brakediscs and a little on the swingarm , only 27.000 miles,

Welcome to the forum Trabbart.
Nice introduction and pictures.
What a find it looks in great condition.
Well done, hopefully the hesitation will get better as you flush some good fuel through it.
