    Getting a xs400k with 6000 original mi on the road again

    I picked this bike up from a buddy for $100. He drained the gas and parked it in a shed 12 years ago. I got it started and it wont run unless the choke is on and also bogs when giving it throttle. I also will be looking for a front fender. Why that is missing I don't know.
