Welcome to KZR,
Yep, for now... just ride it! It's your first bike, when you out grow it, if you can - keep it. I'll always miss my first bike...

I'm with Roy. Install gasoline, operate ignition, and find a backroad. In short, ride that clean 400, and learn to fix what comes up as you go. Oh yeah, if you havn't already, take the MSF Safety Course. Its totally worth the time and money.

X2 That is to sweet to butch up. Most have been modified so much that you do not even know what model it was to start with. A little maintenance and that little jewel will give you some dependability. By the way welcome to KZR
