1983 Yamaha IT490 out for first ride

I picked this up a few months ago.  I cleaned the gas tank and carb, and replaced the spark plug, added new gas and it fired right up.  I also replaced the cracked front wheel a few other other little items to make it rideable.  This morning I took it out to the local ORV park for a shakedown.  First thing that was obvious is that the bike is fast and I am not.  I spent a little over an hour scaring myself.  I plan do do it again next week.
