im going to see the 1997 tomorrow since I finally have some time off to drive down..i spoke to the guy and it seems that the bike has been sittin there (Outside under a cover - in NJ) for about a yr..what kind of issues could i expect and what should I look out for when inspecting the bike???  how hard will it be for a newbie to get this thing running decently?

[Jay_wolf]

If it doesnt run Right , walk away , why spend all that time and money , when u seem to have a good budget ,

I can think of Dead battery , Sticky Carbs , etc

stuff you wont want to deal with

My Opinion anyways

Watch for rust too, if it's been outside, though a decent cover should protect it pretty well.

Try everything you can find to make sure it all works: Engine obviously, brakes, transmission, lights, blinkers......

But yeah, if it's visibly in bad condition or doesn't run well, may want to walk
