>> Hi all!
>>
>> This is my first post to this forum and the first time ive used email 
>> type forums.
>>
>> Recently i inherited a 1992 ducati 900 ss full fairing.  It has basically 
>> been sitting for the past 8 years and has 21k miles.
>>
>> I put in a new battery and drained the tank and put in new gas.  It turns 
>> over but no starts.
>>
>> I have the maintenance records for it and they are very thorough and 
>> complete.
>>
>> What is you guys advice on what to have the dealer do, and what i should 
>> do before taking it to the dealer?  Others have advised that it needs all 
>> fluids drained and replaced(clutch/brakes/front shocks/oil), also the 
>> chain cleaned and lubed, new tires, spark plugs, and for the dealer to 
>> rebuild the carburators, replace belts, and check/adjust the valves.
>>
>> So should i do all the replacing of fluids/chain/spark plugs before 
>> taking it to the dealer?  Will anything i do before hand be redundant?
>>
>> Thanks very much for your help and for sharing your knowledge.
