    Heading to the shop tomorrow for new rubber. What should I do to the bike since the wheels are already off? Everything came apart easily, the axles are pretty dirty, but they had some sort of grease on them. Thanks

    DON't let sand/dust blow into the bearings during transit !!
    Check bearings, re-grease or replace.
    grease the drive spline
    check rear shoes for delamination
    service/lubricate ALL rear brake pivot points, including removal of brake pedal, re-grease.
    blast some grease into the steering neck bearings.
    inspect forks for play - - swingarm also.
    paint all those rusty spots under your battery.

    And that's just for starters ! :lol:
