| If it's a 2004 and had miles on it, it had gas in it a year ago. One winter of neglect and the fuel dries out and varnishes the carbs. On the other hand, the dealer may be taking you for a ride, and not the good kind. You'll find out when you ride it next.

| Buy a new battery ? Better safe than sorry - get a new battery $39.99.  PS I have a kinda stupid question. I bought a GS 500 yesterday and the guy who delivered it said he'd lock it for me. He pushed in the Key and locked the bike's steering. But I don't know how to unlock the bike! I'm spent two hours fiddling with the key! Any suggestions? My email is Brian.swan@hotmail.com Brian |
