As I am taking things apart, he had a hell of a lot of work done.
It has the carbon fiber fender eliminator kit, he had aftermarket intake on it, and I am tearing it down further.
I asked him whet else was done, and he had a new cam installed.
So it more than just a tune.
The question I have to ask is, why would someone dump so much money on this bike and only put 978 miles on it and let it sit for 9 years?
It will take me some time to take it all apart, and get it back to running.
I couldn't get the gas cap open, and when I did it was completely corroded.

When ethanol evaporates it draws moisture. The gas smells like turpentine.
I ordered an aftermarket gas cap, to get rid of the old one.
But for now, I cleaned up the old one.

He also, dropped it on the left hand side in the parking lot.
I took the fairing off, and will fix the plastic and repaint it.
But again, for the price it is still worth the work it will take to get it back to riding condition.
I haven't got to the belts yet, as I needed to get the gas tank off, and couldn't dump the fuel until I got cap open. Now I know I am in for some serious cleaning.
I am also afraid I will have to break out the bore scope to look inside the tank once emptied to look for corrosion on the aluminum.
I got the plugs, air filter (K&N racing filter), oil filter on stand-by. Belts arrived.
Hoping this weekend will be warm so I can wrench on it.
For decades I have ridden with a GP shifter on my SS, so I got one for this bike too, as it is habit now.
I guess I will have to also pull the injectors and clean them too.
But at least as I pull parts I am at least surprised they are modded or after market.
It wasn't chump change for the parts and labor.....
