Alright guys, looks like I'll have to postpone this till tommorrow. And I've got some shopping to do.

1. gas 91 or above
2. Plugs (at least 3 or 4)
3. Premix
4. Filter cleaner/filter oil


Thanx for all the info once again.

Let me refrase that.  Highest available pump gas.  You should not need to buy race gas unless you have had a high compression piston installed.

'He put some oil in the tank and told me to shake it up to mix the oil.'

I do not get why he did that tho?? And is he talking about the fuel tank??

First off, Welcome to the board Toy! Don;t mindb the bantering, Elk does know his stuff as well as the other guys here.
Please post back and let us know how it works out after taking the said advice. All this is standered proccedure when buying a used bike weather you have a problem or not.
Your going to want to drain the trans oil as well and replace to spec, fresh mix,freash plug,fresh coolent,and a compression test .
You want to also check tire pressure, spokes,chain and sprockets. Air filter, brake fluid.  You want to take the time and do theas things before you jump on and go.  This way your starting fresh and know what going on with your new bike. You can check out my (before you ride guide 101) Just hit search, May help awnser some simple questions. And i cant stress enough how much you need the manual if he did not provide it.
Good luck and hit us back.  YZ WOODS.
