    Welcome to the site. There are several things you NEED to do before riding.

    1) check rear brake shoe for lining de-lamination from shoe.
    2) check brake hoses. They should be changed every 4 years. (recommend stainless)
    3) replace all rubbers in brake system and install fresh fluid. (recommended every 2 years)
    4) check date code on tires. Replace if any signs of cracks. I think five years is the replacement age.

    If you require parts, our supporting vender, XJ4Ever can help you out. He is available by clicking on the logo at the right side of the header banner. Prices fair, service unbeatable. Chacal has it all.

    Nice looking stock bike. Make sure to check on the safety issues as mentioned above. Remember that bike is 30 yrs. old, but a very nice piece, have fun and enjoy your ride.
