Ohh..i forgot to mention. the tank has some rust inside, but not bubbling of paint outside. The spots of rust are kinda small, but its definately there.  Will this require immediate attention or can i just let it go for a year or two.

If i were to keep the tank full would the rust progress more slowly or not at all? I bought some gas treatment as well.

What to do?

:)
Peace

If the rust is flakey, as in, you can flick off some of it with a fingernail, then I would say to clean it now before it gets worse. If it's just discoloration, then you could ride it til winter and then take care of it.
Keeping it full of gas will help.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?
