Thank you all for your helpful replies.
I suspect the battery is dead (think it is the original one anyway), so will take the dimensions this weekend to ensure I buy a suitable replacement. Will try the optimate on the car to see if that is dead also.
Fuel / Oil drain and change, check brakes/tyres, check chain - all sounds reasonable and having read the guides (and a few youtube videos) i'm confident I can do all these...looking forward to it actually! Carbs might be a bit more of a mission so i'll leave those until last - are there any good guides/youtube videos for these? I've done a search and found some with the carbs removed and stripped down on a workbench, but for me i'm looking for something starting at step1 - where abouts on the bike are they and how to remove/access them etc?
Thanks again.
