Ok. Fuel filter. Air filter, spark plug. A check of most parts on it. Clutch, brake drum, bar dress, chain sharpen and inspection. Check all plastics are in good nick. No cracks in casings plastics.

 

While looking at the drum remove it and check oiler worm drive and pump is good. Check the oil pump also works. Clean out the oil tank and change the oil tank filter.

 

Other than that a REALLY good clean and check everything visual that's possible.

Check needle bearings by taking clutch of and making sure they all housed in the black casing properly and grease them regularly
