    Garaged my vfr when my kids were born. I was just too busy, to ride. Any special recommendations besides pulling carbs, tank inspection, fluids?

    Prime the fuel system before cranking on it. Will start up quickly if you do, after carbs are cleaned.

    New tires are a must since the old tires are likely dry rotted and/or deformed. You'll also want to check the air filter housing for signs of rodent life since this a favorite place to nest. A few drops of lubricating oil in the spark plug holes wouldn't be a bad idea either.

    Pics, well let me first say I never dropped it in any way. But it was dropped on its right side by my Dad. He was selling his house and I was coming over to move it. Well despite my telling him not to even think of moving it, I would because he didn't have a clue on how to move a motorcycle. Well he tried to move it and on foot from the right hand side. So I either have to learn how to repair cowling or buy new. Any help would be apreciated
