Thanks for all the replies everyone!
- I did the oil change, I went with some motorcycle specific oil (I forget brand) but it was a 10W40.
- I did change the battery with a brand new one.
- I checked the filter and it seemed okay, kinda flimsy though being just that little foam piece... Considering upgrading to a K&N in the future.
- I just ordered new spark plugs. I went with NGK (I'm a big fan of NGK). I haven't checked the old ones yet, but I wanted to start new and they were only $5 for both.
- I drained all the old gas (bike had been sitting all winter) and replaced with new. I threw premium in there, only cost me about $1 more for 2 gallons and I think it helped a tiny bit (maybe, who knows).
The Bike doesn't like it when it is cold. It will over stall out even in neutral. I have to keep the choke on and let it warm up, I'm sure this is normal for an 11 year old bike that sits in the winter.
My plans are to get some good gear, I just bought a Joe Rocket jacket on amazon. Cost me over $130 but I think it is a good investment.
Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome
