Great!

You know you still have a LOT to look at... make sure you replace all the brake/clutch fluids... condensation is a real problem for those fluids... lube, check for dry rot, all the normal stuff for a vehicle sitting that long.

I'd add some injector cleaner/fuel additives to 2-3 tanks of gas too. Brake pads might be bad too, so be careful.

Cheers.

update:

*my newly purchased 1999 1500 Drifter sat out in the elements uncovers for over a year

1] yes it was air bubbles in the gas, it was not venting, fixed!!!

2] neutral light came on after i wiggled the bulb, fixed!!!

3]no blown headgasket, the water in the oil was nothing more than condensation build up, oil/filter change, fixed!!!

4]motor was not overheating, fan came on after it idled for 30+ minutes!!!.

great news, i'm having a few cold beers tonight!!!

thanks to all for your answers to my questions!!!

***buying a bike that sat outside like this one, could be a big bag of worms.
