You guessed it; Another newbie.

#1 Unread post by Scott2132 »

Hi. I am a complete newbie (duh), but I like motorcycles. My dad gave me his 20 year old Honda CM400 Custom with 600 miles on it. It's been sitting in the garrage for at LEAST 10 years. How easy do you think it will be to fix? It looks all right, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks,

--Scott

1st off welcome to the forums .
Was all the gas drained out of the tank before it was allowed to sit?
As I see it , you will at least need a new battery and new tires .
Definitely new plugs as well and if it has points I would replace them too .
Drain the oil and get a new oil and air filter both.
That's a start .
Kind regards, Wizzard
