Good engine, hard to kill it. Like a Contour keep the oil as high as you can without it blowing or burning out. Check the valves.

all that is needed for assembly is install the new fork seals, put the wheels back on, mount the tank, charge the battery, and fire it up.
the tires are brand new Metzlers, the battery was new 2 years ago.
it does run, i ran it right after i bought it.
when i bought it the top half of the motor was apart, put it together and hung a temparary tank and it fired right up.
