Congrats on the new ride. I have been wondering about some of the same things on my 98 ec250

Will be doing a quick teardown this weekend and getting it ready to ride.
Going to need:
-Tires
-Chain
-Different handgaurds
-Bar risers
-General cleanup
-Change all fluids

The boot between the carb and engine is looking old. I'm going to do a temporary seal for now but I need to get one ordered.
Also it's looking a bit messy around the pipe/engine junction I'll do a quick cleanup for now but I'm guessing it needs new O-rings.

Long term, I would like to order the plastic update kit. I know I'll need a different tank to make it work but I would like to get a oversize tank anyways. I have a magura master brake cyl on the shelf I'd like to get that swapped on. And eventually I will go through the suspenion, either updating the current stuff or swapping to newer components. I have a set of 45mm upside down zokes and a sachs shock hanging around so swapping those on is always a option.

As usual advice is welcome
