Today I picked up a 2002 YZ250 for a steal from a friend. It was last ridden 2 years ago when he wrecked it and tore up his knee. Now his wife wants the basement real estate back. It has a pipe, jetting, intake, seat and suspension upgrades. He put fresh fuel in it and tried to get it started, but it won't fire up. Here's what I think that I need to do.
remove, clean carb (do I need to remove the jets?)
new coolant (what kind?)
oil change
What else should I do/look for or should I take it in for a tune up? I've worked on bikes before, but I'm not too keen on disasembling the carb.
Any advice is appreciated.
