Hello fellow cb650 owners. I recently picked up this 1980 cb650 custom for $350. I feel like I scored big time. The previous owner had it running a month ago but it needs a new battery and some carb work.
This is my first ever motorcycle and my plans are to build a café racer inspired bike that I can ride on the weekends. If there are any others out there that have been down this road before I am open to any advice.
Thank you all!

Looks good beyond the dent in the tank.
Often this means it does run somehow but not good but the PO has no idea why. So check out what you have starting with verifying the plug cables are plugged correctly.

Thanks guys! Yes I know I'm going to try and pull that dent and get it resprayed. The PO said that when he was rebuilding the carb he broke some seal and it just dumps fuel out of one of the carb drains. I just picked up my Haynes manual so I will hopefully be pulling the carbs out this weekend.

Good luck! In Volker_P's signature there is link to a free online manual, but I guess you already got one. I kind of prefer to have a print one in my hand anyway. Check my signature for a link to common issues.
