I would suggest you get a repair manual try ebay. The carbs have drain screws, I had partly clogged carbs and flushed them flowing straight carb cleaner from tank. You will have to shut off the ignition and crank the starter to get the flow started. Google motorcycle tire size you need I got a good deal on Kendas from bikebandit.com they had filters plugs and most common parts, maybe the solenoid. Good luck with your new bike, I love mine thought of selling it but I´m afraid I´ll never find one I like as much.
