I would go through and change all the fluids and filter. It's peace of mind and a good start point for you to keep tract of it. Plus you don't know how long it been seating or serviced last. I would also drain fuel tank and flush it. And seen you are in there check the rubber hose on the fuel sending unit. Plus check the brake fluid. Just my2cents

That's your call, but I would suggest changing all filters and fluids. That way you will have the piece of mind of knowing what you have and/or finding anything wrong.

While your at it, you need to do a complete PMS on the beast...

The filter kit is in our classifieds.

Going through the axles should be first on your list. Check for bad bearings and make sure the brakes are in good working order. Those parts can cost you the most head aches.

Make certain the corks are in the keyways on the axles!

We seem to have a rash of "Why is there oil in my bearings?" threads of late.

That would be "PMCS". Preventative Maint. Checks and Services

PMS is whole other headache in its own right
