Haven't tried to start it yet. I need to reassemble from its travel condition, so handlebars and controls, set up/adjust all cables, check chain alignment, adjust brakes, assemble foot pegs, add mirrors & crash bars, go round all nuts and bolts to check torques, battery on charge, do electrical checks. And clean off all the tape glue from the chrome where the dessicant bags were!You know, that sort of thing. Only arrived at 1325 and it took 40 minutes to get it off the back of the truck due to width and balance issues of crate/pallet.
Also need to put fuel in it, but I might take the tank off and put sealer in it before refuelling. May get it started tomorrow, but also busy on the toy car.

10/10 for packing anyway.
You've got enough kindling to keep you going for ages and enough bubble-wrap for many a Christmas.
Be sure to do a video of the first start-up.

Oh, and I wouldn't seal the tank. With modern fuels it's not as easy as it was. I have a couple of tanks with a bit of rust in them and a good fuel filter keeps in manageable.
