Besides changing ALL the fluids, AND the TIRES AND TUBES AND RIM STRIPS, you will need to lube the steering head bearings. If you see ANY marking on the races, you will need to replace the bearings, as well. While you have the front end apart for the neck bearing pack, dump out all the old fish oil in the fork legs...This is the one place almost nobody ever goes. When you are changing the engine oil, warm the engine up a little and then drain it through the oil pump pick up and pull the screen...clean it! Now, back to the fuel filter: http://www.gadgetjq.com/ff_replacement.htm

I just bought a 2002 drifter 1500 that's been sitting up for 10 years. I got the tank off and took the fuel pump off. I was looking to buy a new fuel pump but they are over $500 so I priced just the little pump itself which is much cheaper. But I would also need to put a new in-line filter on as well. My question is can I buy a regular aluminum case in-line fuel filter and put that back inside the tank where the old one was? Any help regarding this issue would be great, or even advice on other must do's to this bike that's been sitting for a while.
