Well I'm hitting the sand again with the bike this weekend and after that it'll be time to start riding like crazy again for me as I'm feeling almost 100% again (had the flu for what seemed like forever).
So I'm putting together a list of things I think I should check... The bike has somewhere in the 3,000 mile range.
I'll obviously be tightening everything I can see, but in addition I'll be performing the following steps....
-All controls, new cables and lube clean inspect all areas (DD already pointed me to the clutch cable wear spot).
-Hot Start plunger lube
-New Spark Plug
-Change Coolant, Oils
-Replace Brake Fluids
-Check clutch for wear
-New wheel bearings
-True wheels
-New swingarm shock linkage bearings
-Lube steering stem bearings
-Clean fuel bowl, jets and carb.
-Check valve clearance
-New Plastics and graphics.
-New Grips
Anything I'm missing that should be inspected/replaced? Basically time to tighten the bike back up make sure everything is safe and get it feeling new again and hopefully end up with a clutch feel that's not so tough.

Here you go Dev.
A friends Dad asked me recently if I ride it, or just go out and drag it on it's side all day.
It's a dirtbike, but it needs to be freshened up as it gets wrecked, a lot.
Oh and AS, no AZT for me. All good! Actually had the Flu last year and went into the Dr., the only thing she recommended was that I get an HIV test. Talk about a scary week waiting for that to come back.
