Ok, great.

from the mileage, the 1st thing I'd do is check the cam chain.
the fact that the bike was dirty, he didn't bother to clean to sell it, pretty much tells me he wasn't up on maintenance.

and from your newbiness, I'd say you need to find someone who'll take you under his wing.

we can explain what you need to do, but it looks like you're in too much a hurry and don't have a clue.

the cam chain procedure is in the tech section, you can read thru it and decide.

ps:cool, someones already offered.

I love it.
-- It is quite important to NOT have stale air in the tires. The gyroscopic quotient degrades markedly above 93 mph otherwise.
-- Another important often-overlooked item fuse maintenance. One must pull out each fuse, rotate it 180 degrees, and plug it back in to the slot, thereby reversing the DC electron flow relative to the fuse.
--- This makes sure in DC systems like ours that electrometallic fatigue is held in abeyance pending isochronal degaussing of the fuse panels.
--- Of course, motorcycles with AC systems must use circuit breakers, not fuses, no matter how often they could be rotated.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.

Because the bike starts up fine , it just dies unexpectedly

Haven't had time to sit down next to the bike and try to figure it out since my lasts posts. But I'm finished posting in here, it's up to me now to take the time to look closely at what everyone suggested. Thanks all
