If it hasn't been drained, it may be hard to tell how long that's been there. Dip your finger in it and be sure it doesn't smell like fuel though.

No I didn't know about draining, I bought the bike last year for my wife, she took the motorcycle class and I had her follow me (ural sidecar rig) but after crashing three times she has decide not to ride any more sow I started to ride the bike it's a lot lighter then the ural and falls over when I stop if I don't put my feet down. I found this site and know decide to do a lot of the mods. I've seen, Question though I don't see many peaple changing front springs just the rear shocks. Any way I like the size of this bike although I'm 6' 5" tall. The bike is a 2002 with 1024 miles on it.

I wish I could talk mine into trying it. Anyway, welcome to the site and keep puttin' your feet down at stops.
