my thoughts are the gears have been half in and half out of oil for so long so everything above the oil line is possibly rusted to some degree,and thats just the start, ,,what about the clutch plates that have dried out and the ones below the oil line are most likely had it as well,,the bike i got hadnt been started for a couple of years and the know it all previous owner got it started easy,,as a result i had to get it rebored and go up .5mm to compensate for his expertise,
