    Bike has been sitting up for a year in a shed of mine - during an extension build.

    so, will be servicing her (kaw ltd750 1982) next week, but have ye any other tips to revive her.
    I have to get a new battery, fit new fork seals, air filter plugs, oil etc.
    also need to change the brake fluid.

    Carbs - spray in carb cleaner before I start her ???
    Clean out float bowls?
    check cables, tyres, brakes (these need a good clean)

    any other tips

    thx

    Very nice looking bike :D
    I got a new battery for mine in Halfords, very reasonable at €45
    Ebay is probably your best bet for other small bits 'n pieces.
