Hi all its been a VERY long time since i posted here. good to see FOC-U is still going strong 
My 02 FZS600 has been sitting in the garage for 6 years and i really want to get it back on the road. I have two major issues. first it won't move... the wheels are locked solid (maybe the brakes are clamped on?) and the fact that the chain resembles a brown rope doesn't help either lol. also im sure there is old fuel in the take so i guess that will need flushing.
i will take it to a proper mechanic but anything i can do will be awesome.
so i guess the first thing i should do is cut the chain off as its past the point of being usable. see if i can somehow release the brakes and flush the tank. guess the carbs will need cleaning too?
any advice of what to look for and tips would be great.
will post some pictures later
