:o I thought the "710" was just the "OIL" word seen upsidedown...  :o

You may need a mirror to read it properly...but it's there.

  Like Pilgrim said as you sit on the bike look down on the left side and on top of the cover next to the jugs is a plug that has 710 or OIL on it and that is where you add the oil and add the seafoam.....

Sitting on bike, look down right side on top of Chrome cover there is a slotted screw about the size of a half dollar.

thanks in advance...

Will be a nice ride wen you get her running and cleaned up. Looks like you have a great place to work also.
I imagine you will wind up cleaning the carb and entire fuel system if the fuel has gelled.

I rinsed the bad fuel from the tank and was able to get her running, really hav'nt driven her.  but, tomorrow i'll taker her to get inspected.  In Texas we get vehicles inspected before we obtain registration.    seems to be running well enough.

  I am not an electrician but I know that the 800 does not have a lot of storage for power of lights. Ernest when I was messing with my rear signal lights I wanted to turn them into marker lights and it was not hard but the taillight would pulse with the signal lights till I had the bike running. So to check the signal lights and any of the lights try and have the bike running properly. Smart idea like you said do one thing at a time to sort it all out.

I think you either need a 100% higher wattage bulb in each front blinker or an indicator relay with a 50% lower rating.
Someone who understands electrics will be along shortly to tell you what to do (and to call me an idiot.)

Looks like a roadhouse exhaust system.

Ref the air filter and the hoses check this link out....

Thanks! very helpful.   I like this mod.  I'm going to hold off, don't want to add any variables until I get the bike running.
