Thanks. run it and bring a quart of Honda oil and a new filter, and if they let you drain oil and cut open filter and look for metal,
take air filter off and see if there is any dirt or dust in the intake listen for any noise near cam chain and starter clutch,
and obviously check all the bearings and bushings for arms and swinger,,
look at the cases real good including head gaskets for any leaks check anti freeze for any oil
