Awesome looking bike!!!! 650 site is an awesome resource, I have used it many times, esp the performance section. Have you gone through it and cleaned everything up? carbs, air filter, plugs,etc. If it has set up that long it could just need running to get all of the gunk out. I would start there, change the fuel filter make sure there are no leaks(air or otherwise). If that all checks out then time to move on to bigger and better things. Hope this helps...If not 650 ccnd is the way to go...TONS of helpful info there.
