We went to fetch the bike my brother brought a few weeks back in Lichtenburg.

I cleaned the carb and the fuel tank. The fuel was a dark colour and the tank looks rusty inside. so i put a few bolts in it and shaked it a while. Thee petrol smelled vile!

After it was all back together we tried starting it.
Amazingly it started easily and run quite smooth.

Ive read somewhere on here that we should check the bearings, but everything feel fine.  
The chain is a bit rusty but i think its only outside rust as it feels fine too.
The tyres also looks new
I will change the oil and filter.
Is there anything else thats critical to do before he can set off?

Heres a picture. of the bike, i think for R3000 its a bargain!
