what kind of riding you going to be doing? are you looking to do a complete restore? if you do alot of trails id say slap some tires all new bearings . If your doing a new topend already and you just bought this id split the case and see what else needs to be done. Dont want to put money in a new topend and have something else go out .... If your going total rebuild id say strip it down to the frame and skye is the limit. I did a total rebuild on my bike and couldnt be happier, you will learn alot from this site. congrats on the new bike also 500 bucks is a steal.
