Heck, that's great. Maybe I'm projecting a little based on how my bike reacted after sitting for years on end. It barfed up oil, but it came out of the primary case. I drained the sump before starting it. Crank seal on the primary side is a dribbler on mine if it sits a couple of months, as is the primary case. Different design from the Commando primary case though. Prone to dribbling with the thin gaskets that were around in the 80's. Now that I have pulled it back out of the back of the garage, I try to start it every 5 days to prevent oil from building up in the sump, and to listen to it run again.Have fun getting it back on the road.Bleed the brakes. The fluid can get real strange sitting around, and nothing is less fun than pulling in that front brake lever and having close to nothing happen.
