I'm going to buy a 1980 xs400 special 2. 11,000 miles, looks great, stock and clean. The current owner says it's been in storage for a couple years and the battery is dead and can't start it. $1000. He has agreed to me bringing a fresh battery and carb cleaner and gas to get it started before purchasing. I've been riding a long time, I have a little mechanical ability but I thought I'd ask from you all who are in the know on these particular bikes what else I should consider if I can't get it running. Thank you.
