    Looks like it will be awhile. When I got this bike I thought it would be a pretty simple fix, hmmm, maybe not. Now I am thinking about a month or so as I can only progress as I can afford it. I do know if I had not found this site it would have been a failed project. Starting with compression test because I have the equipment. Then valve adjustment,doesnt look like the "tool" willcost too much. Thanks to bigfitz52, could not have made it easier to understand. Seems I dont have to ask many questions just keep getting to know my way around in here and find what I need.Well good luck to the othert newbies and thanks to the rest.

    Need to buy carb rebuild kits,sinc tools,screwdriver set ect. to properly set the carbureters. From there I shoud go thru the brakes, this bike sat for 7 years. I should buy new idle adjustment screws having striped the head on one and spreading the slots on 2 more, I'm sure standard stuff for a first timer.

    Yup pretty standard. Brakes are every important - don't forget tires too - check the age from the date stamp.

    Good luck and keep us posted...
