#1 thing to do is get some decent basic training before hitting the streets again. There's too much to learn to do it by trial and error.

#2 thing - don't get overconfident. There's a lot to learn to be a good rider, and things happen quickly that you need to instinctively react to.

Riding a cycle that has running issues, especially as a brand new rider, is asking for trouble.

As far as the running problems, you could have rust in the tank if it wasn't stored properly that may be blocking fuel flow. It's also very possible that the carbs need to be removed and carefully cleaned if the fuel wasn't treated or the floatbowls weren't drained.
