Ruby looks very clean and new !!!

I have a blue one.

The tires may need a retirement, they go hard in six years.

Replacing the coolant and brake fluid is good idea, those go bad with time.

Congratulations, Stephen !!!

If you have not taken the MSF BRC, please do yourself a favor & take it!
I graduated a class of 12 today!
They now have the tools to practice safe riding!

The tires should be replaced. They go hard in six years, nasty old things those Dunrocks

FTFY :)

'twas exciting, i rode within my skills and kept in the slow lane(for the most part :rolleyes:) and rode successfully. I love it! I even did a little bit of night riding around my neighborhood tonight. I just gotta work on my shifting a little and I'll be set. Also, i think i need to cleans the carbs a bit (boggs a little when applying quick throttle) but i thin k it's probably because it sat for a little while which explains the low miles.

Try a bottle of seafoam in the gas tank.

Buy some Seafoam and follow the instructions for mixing in a proper concentration with the gas in your tank. It might help clean up your carbs a bit

FTFY...

that's what i was thinking, it's not too bad i messed with the idle screw today and it was a little better, so i think some sea foam will help it a bit. But I probably need to sync the carbs.

Awesome! I am considering buying a pregen as my first bike just because I don't have much money. As much as I want an 08+....
