Hello, yester day I picked up a 86 yamaha 225 tri moto w/reverse(black with red frame). It was free and in great shape,I pulled it and the motor was free. The owner purchased this bike new in 86 and told me he had not started it since 2005. The fuel tank was dry and oil looked as if it were fresh. Question is what to do besides fuel it up and start riding. should i clean anything first or just fuel up and see what happens? He also gave me a rear basket rack and front basket with gun mounts.This bike is in great shape and looks to have no probs but a lil rust.

Pobably need a good cleaning of the carb and check the air cleaner for mice nests and go over fluids. Cant beat the price on that one. Great score and welcome aboard. Got any pics of it?
