Default Re: 2001 SV650 - Tips on getting road worthy

Right, making some progress as have had a couple of hours free. Decided to go for the vinegar treatment on the fuel tank as it was easily accessible. Have removed sparks and just waiting for replacements, picking up a new battery at the weekend. Have started a general clean up of oxidised bits and most parts seem to be cleaning up with very fine sandpaper, the forks are going to be the fun bit....

Couple more bits of advice needed. Am replacing oil, I assume is should change the filter as well. Any recommendations?

Brakes are seized, what’s the easiest way of dealing with this?

Throttle is completely seized, I’ll check out some tutorials but if there are any ideas anyone has on potential quick fixes let me know.

Cheers
